It hasn’t. He’s cleared concussion protocols.

I knew it hadn't.. I only asked why the poster had come to that conclusion. Particularly as Reef trained during the week.

What did I just say about making excuses? Jeez some people… “He needs better support around him” “He was ignored because his team mates were favoured ahead of him”
Which one is it, you can’t have it both ways.
Or maybe… just maybe he’s a bit shit because he doesn’t work hard enough.

Fabulous. I remember Maynard killing it playing through the midfield briefly against Melbourne in 2017(?). He’ll be keen to make an impression.

Will enjoy seeing him smash Viney if it does happen
Hallelujah! Frampton is a really good defender and a terrible forward. Sanity has prevailed.
If Reef’s still out, then I suspect AJ will be retained. We need a forward market target - even an unconvincing one - on the field when Krueger is playing in the ruck.

I doubt that it will ever happen again but I’d like to see AJ playing as 3rd tall alongside Checkers and McStay.

Which one rucks?
Yes, that is a problem. Of those named, I guess it would have to be McStay. But as I said, I doubt it will ever happen.

Saw a bit of training today. Depleted squad, but gee the boys looked sharp. And they’ll need to be too… so many key outs.
Backup mids really stepping up, and Nick was in outstanding form. Talls going to be a slight worry, but backs looking strong.
Few points as follows…
Nick - absolute freak. Kicked loads of goals in the shortened ground drills, as the inside mid pushing forward. Still out working everyone. Kid only knows one speed.
Lipinski - v impressive. So skilful and smart. Also kicked plenty and was in everything, hitting every target, and cruising in the team’s transition drills.
Bobby - electric as ever. Drifting up the ground to help the mids.
Krueger - disappointing. Didn’t win a contest all session, and can now see why Ash was favoured to him. May have to feature, but timing is poor and plays like a VFL player, sadly.
Beau - strong and really stepping up. Knows he has to I’m sure, but was teaming up with Bobby really well.
Moore - fit and firing.
Howe - hitting peak again I reckon. V important for us… but only played back, interestingly.
Sullivan - good… fits in so well. Another who will have to step if we’re to get on top of the demons mids.
Maynard - strong, covering good ground.
Reef seemed to head off early, with Jiath, so reckon he might be emerg only. Interesting.
Josh - everywhere. V happy he is fit atm.
Sidey - looking good.
D Cameron - strong. One of the guys that dominated Freddy in the marking duels.
Harrison - busy, clever, skilful. Featured a lot. Must be playing.
C’mon pies

Did Johnson train with this mob?
I read elsewhere that Freddy was training out of his skin intent to impress and here you say he was disappointing - I gather he was outclassed/beaten in the air. His performance in the VFL last week was good. Be interesting how he goes if selected.

Makes sense with Pendles still out and if we decide to play all of Howe, Frampton, Moore and Dean.

Yes Johnson was training with the group.
Didn’t stand out, but links up well in transition. Prob is, we need a marking target…
