Training 2024 training updates.

[Jen2310]

The manner in which Noble and Lipinski train always has them starting 22 in practice matches.

Both have been fantastic, and both were playing in Team A on friday. But Murphy was missing so that may or may not be the reason Noble was in the black.

If you say so Jack. I’ll take the like from a bloke who’s actually qualified over your baseless opinions

Good for you. You hang in there princess.

Jack?

I agree on Eyre. I've only seen him once live and he did nothing that stood out. It seems like another case of "he's tall, let's take him". I reckon if we wanted a project Key Defender we will take Sof. Eyre must have improved 1000% between last year and so far this year. I'm glad I lost my rose colored glasses decades ago

“I’ve only seen him once live and he did nothing that stood out”

Just playing that part over and over and over in my head

Yep, you’ve convinced me!

Or 867 5309?

Great song love it always have.

 

[sr36]

Then what will we crap on about

We'll crap on and criticise the decisions. I can't believe they did or didn't take the hamstrung hobbler.

So you’d rather we let him rehab part-time with our VFL facilities and hope it works out, and then hope he’s available at the MSD (which we would then likely need to offer an 18 month contract), than just recruit him on a 1 year deal, let him rehab full time in the best facilities available with one of the best strength and conditioning departments in the league and then make another call on him at the end of the year? All to save a spot in the list for 3 months?

Do you not understand how psychotic that sounds?

Reluctance to offer a scarce list spot contract to a not-yet-even-fringe player who has just incurred a serious medium-term injury hardly seems like the definition of “psychotic”.

Which dictionary you using?

I watched Prestigiacomo in 233 AFL games and cant recall anything he did on the field that stood out. He averaged 7 touches a game during his career yet was a valued AFL player unlucky not to be a premiership player.
Our coaches and recruiting staff always know best.

Same one as the journo who described Maxwell's T20 century vs WI as "insane".

I must admit, that century was a bit insane

I'm just back from my 5 K jog and it occurred to me that I am no different to the local crackheads who are doing 5 K on a stolen pushbike, but they are doing it the easy the way. Anyway, I hope we pick up Eyre , Teakle and Sof.

 

[manicpie]

Aah... but there's something in the Eyre!

I reckon they'll list him.

Did you feel it coming in the air tonight?

The game has changed tenfold since Presti retired let alone was in his prime and he wouldn’t get on a list in 2024.

The example I would use in the context of standing out is Dean who was fantastic at that level as a 20yo and is currently a long way back. Injuries are a factor for both, but Eyre has played plenty of VFL and is yet to shoot the lights out like Dean did in his draft year.

I’m also on board with the posts querying the time invested in a guy who possibly won’t wind up on the list. I basically didn’t post for two months and most of it since I came back is Eyre based. It’s a bit odd.

I pondered a reply along the same lines (psychotic) but thought my presence in the thread was already deemed too odious. Though here I am again. Surely there will be an announcement today to end this speculative discussion.

I had to hand this over to my higher power because I was becoming fixated on the fact that this speculative tall with vulnerable hammy's, might not deserve a list spot. I am at peace with whatever decision is made now

Not a view universally accepted right here

ATM that’s true but it’s not always the case.

I'm not at peace with this - just maybe hammy(s).

BTW - still in Epworth - good news is I can see the COLLINGWOOD Town Hall from my room

Could you be more specific? Otherwise it's just alarmist.
