Training 2024 Preseason reports and discussion

[Hodgey 15]

Remember a month or two back Quartermane posted about a favourite Hawk returning to the nest??
Would be insane if he came back as a mentor/got involved in our off-season

I reckon that was Gunners.

Yep - the one who left our club
on excellent terms …..and came back to resume playing with Hawthorn 12 months later.

That’s the one.

 

[HedgeFund]

Is Rioli talking about the issues with the club. Perhaps the courts?

Pretty sure that’s the logical inference. He wants a settlement contract.

 

[TylerDurden]

Off topic but could Cyril announce he's returning on xmas? Hinting at it on ig saying "I've got plenty left in me"

Is there a chance someone like his missus has logged into his account and is taking the piss? Otherwise this seems very odd.

 

[Steven Tyler]

If Cyril does return, then don’t tell me Santa doesn’t exist

 

[MasterSamurai]

İt may be about local footy. İt pays well. There is no way a 34 year old with dodgy soft tissue history and out of the hustle of AFL senior footy for six years is going to be contemplating a return. I wish but can't see it.

Sadly, the chances of seeing either of them any time soon are roughly the same...

 

[The Chad and I]

Cyyrrrrrriilllllllllllllll!!!!!

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[earthworms]

It'll happen. Dec 25th mark my words. (i am delusional)

 

[The Chad and I]

If u truly believe this then i'm sorry you have no idea

Truly truly believe it.
Chol for 65 goals next season.
Lock it in.

(In reference to Carlton, not Cyril, obviously)

Is Mabiol related to our Chol?

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Someone is winding us up.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Yeah, the Swannies have always had a freakish way of somehow landing the best key position forward talent in the league, Plugger, Hall, Bud...

I wonder who it's going to be next.

Larkey from roos?

 

[Topiary]

Larkey from roos?

It is why GWS moved on Cadman. Swans were nipping hard at him.

I heard the same with Naughton. Can only imagine the $$$ they'll throw at JUH.

 

[cryptor]

I think Cyril has got Christmas and April Fools Day mixed up.

I've said it before but Frost reminds me of a super duper Gaming Computer with the latest Graphics Card, 16GB RAM, 3TB hard drive, SSD, etc but it's all being run by an old 486 CPU!

He's got all the physical attributes and bravery but his ability to process data in real time on the field is lacking. I wonder if his brain ever flashes system error codes at him mid game

In fact he is almost the complete opposite to his coach who was short, slow and couldn't jump but his footy brain was an effing supercomputer that could process data quicker than anyone (and of course he was also hard as a cats head and had unbelievable balance).

But I'd still say on balance Frosty will get a game most weeks next year, especially if he can limit the amount of "Oh Frosty" moments to say one or two a game.

So...what you are saying is that IF we could remove Sam Mitchell's brain and transplant it into Sam Frost's body we will have the greatest player the game has ever seen. Conversely we will have a dumpy coach who will constantly malfunction at press conferences.

I'd almost be tempted to make that trade to be honest

It would just delay the brilliant coach we've currently got by about 6 years.

Frosty, when informed of this proposal...
