Training 2024 Preseason reports and discussion

[Blackhawk42]

Poor parenting

Let me find our for myself, which I'd argue was good parenting!

 

[Sirlemsip]

Dad wouldn't tell me why Brett Heady's nickname was 'Gobby' when I was 6 years old.

also, Andrew 'Spitter' Swallow

 

[arupist]

There are quite a few listed here:

Player Nicknames

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[TylerDurden]

Gunner. Lock him for the Dons game.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Injury prone. Where's he at?

 

[Yardie]

I believe as a precaution they are x-raying his ankle.......

 

[Sturty]

Throw a few leeches on it for good measure
(I am not a doctor)

 

[peetoo]

The CJ reference is nice.

 

[matey]

Gunner. Lock him for the Dons game.

From last year it’s quite amazing how our forward line has transformed overnight

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Gunner. Lock him for the Dons game.

There is a photo of him from this week going around and he looks much fitter than he has the last 2 seasons. I won’t get too excited yet as it was an intraclub which is always a much easier level than the real stuff but the signs are positive we will get some quality out of him on field.

We potentially will have Chol, Gunners, Ginni, Wiz, and Dimma making a permanent move. Fascinating watch to see how it all gels.

Maybe 9 into 6 is a good problem to have

Fwd Lewis Chol Gunston Ramsden Bruest Wingard ginnivan Watson Hardwick (Moore Butler Dear O’Sullivan
Mid Noodle Day Newk Nash Worpel Ward McDonald McKenzie Husthwaite (Amon Maginness masso Morrison meek tucker Stephens
Def Blanck Frost DGB Sicily scrim Weddle CJ Mitchell Impey mcdonald (McCabe Serong Ryan Bennett

It’s going to be easier to get into the defensive 6 (just)

We don’t have the emerging top quality of 2008, but they bat way deeper. Fully fit list back then and Taylor Murphy the emergencies for GF. Depth got tested badly in 2009

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[Stranglers]

No need to worry about recruiting defenders, the ball will never get past the centre line.

 

[threesixpio]

Injury prone. Where's he at?

Terrible propensity to put his hand under other people’s feet. Delist

Yep the squad was all over the joint in 2009. All our defenders got injured and it was a miserable year. 2010-11 was when we brought in excellent squad members to back up the stupidly good talent

Sleeping on Jai Serong.

Edit: and left off Scrimshaw.

No wonder we’ve had so many sprained ankles.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

From the 4 minute mark.

 

[big footy cyril]

You mean Nathan Lyon right?

Had boxes of these back in the day

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Gunner. Lock him for the Dons game.

Gunners looks in absolutely ripping nick at the moment.

Whatever happens this year I'm grateful I get one last chance (?) to see one of the best Hawks of the recent era ply his trade.

He is an excellent third forward so if Chol and Lewis can stay on the park he could actually kick a few goals this year.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Gunston is going to be fantastic. I can feel it

 

[peetoo]

Did he go to brisvegas for a sneaky paid rest?
