Training 2024 Preseason reports and discussion

[Flukey!]

Welcome to Hawthorn Baz.

Can I say first up, that is terrible for Smith. Just getting into training again and that happens would be shocking for him.

I feel it helps our position though as he wont play for the Dogs at all next year.
It should make it easier for him to leave them and join us.

Welcome to Hawthorn Baz.

Shattered for him. Injuries suck.

The distinction between shattered young man and damaged asset is easily blurred on BF unfortunately.

Professional footy is a business. Anyone who thinks Mitchell or McKenzie's first reaction would be empathetic rather than assessing list management & trade value are kidding themselves.

I would expect short of someone being a full-blown psychopath that their first reaction would be the instinctual human response.

Speak for yourself. My experience with those in the industry says otherwise.

 

[MasterSamurai]

No one in the industry would want any one to do a ACL , it's a season write off, as far as the Hawks concerned , I don't think we'd be rubbing our hands at all as nothing is certain. Just shattered for the young man.

Seriously they can do both at the same time!

How? Why should that be a reaction at all. Not like a deal can be done this week or month, so why even entertain a thought.

I understand many will think that way but we need to try and train our minds to not think that way. We can think of his trade value after end of 2024 season.

I am sure MM will touch base with his manager to convey our sympathies and ask to be kept informed of his recovery & to be kept in loop.

injury - I’d be curious to know how it happened.

Considering the rain Melbourne has had in the last 48 to 72 hours I would’ve thought clubs would be extremely cautious training on wet ovals and/or in running shoes, despite how well the ovals may drain.

When do the players start their xmas break and when do they return?

Are they still training in Braybrook?

 

[DogDaySonny]

Just ask the senior coach, it is why he remains on our List. Got to use his size, trouble is he is a nice bloke. I hope he can become more aggressive. Legally however.

 

[Rowie6]

Sorry for coming on as Troll I thought this was the Hawks pre-season site not the bulldogs?
Really this guy is not even a Hawthorn player and less likely to be now!
I don’t quite get the love for him?
If you are not with us you are against us!
But i do hope he has a good recovery ACL injuries are not pleasant!
Go the Hawks

Ligament are much more vulnerable in pre and early season training or games.

It's much more common for ACLs to be done during the warm and dry months when grounds are hard.

Sounds like Morrison took a nasty hit to the face in the session today. Taken to hospital with facial/teeth injuries

No good for Harry.

Would love to see him get to 100 games next season but competition for spots will be fierce.
