Training 2025 Pre-Season - THEY’RE BACK!

[The Nostradamus]

you're forgetting when's the official intra club?

And just to be serious to this point

One thing I do ask is that they put this on a weekend so fans can show up

But I do appreciate most years we at least live stream and have the replay uploaded

I can see we have Saturday trainings this week so maybe this is heading in that direction

Is it accurate to describe 6th out of 17 as 'mid field'? I suppose. But feels overly negative.

Oh wait, I just noticed who I was responding to...

If 8.5 is dead middle than yeah I would say 6th would be considered mid field.

W. Dawson will be a beast. Very excited to watch him next year. I'm happy for Chom to play forward or back, as long as he actually plays!

 

[hurricane]

I honestly can't recall someone so raw with such elite contested marking ability.

How about Lindsay Smith?

 

[Shinboner1]

Is Dawson 203cm?

The **** are we fluffing about with these 193cm draft picks and trying to shuffle back to get them?

203 and counting. Kids only 18, he'll grow more.

Chom training forward? If any truth to that then they might be conceding that they are not going to get an opportunity to draft a tall forward.

Thats more than likely the reality given our draft hand.

The plan was always to play him back to get continuity into his body, then move him forward again.

Chom larkey darling Zurharr Curtis and RHJ.

No excuse not to increase our average points for by 2-3 goals per game in 25. Just a question of whether we can bring average scores against down by a similar margin….

Michael Wundke.

Could pluck them from anywhere and had the added benefit of curing cancer.

this trade period, all indications are the club wants Charlie playing forward in '25.

I'll take the growing pains of Will learning his craft at AFL level for the benefits of having Chom forward helping Larkey and having another early pick getting games in the best 22.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Chom forward with larkey and darling gives us a big thiccboi forward line.

Something we haven't had in years

 

[Chip Scab1]

Chom was always going to play forward, don't know what to make of the 'surprise' it is for some! I'd play Dawson at CHB with some senior experience around him! He has 2 years to work it all out and then take over from Corr - when we're better and the ball is coming down much less.

I’d rather teakle to remain forward and pinch hit ruck

And keep chom back

Also don’t want chom going into the ruck

what happens with Zurhaar/Duursma/Ford?

 

[Passmore]

what happens with Zurhaar/Duursma/Ford?

Zurhaar HF, Duursma Bench, Ford VFL possibly.

Ford doesn’t play and Duursma needs to earn his spot.

Curtis and Zurhaar is enough medium targets with Larkey, Darling and Comben down there.

Konstanty and RHJ can fight over the last spot.

I suppose you can call it continuity? He looked injured for half the season.
Don’t have much confidence he’ll last up forward.

 

[winalotroos]

Lock him in, 250 game 3x Premiership Hero. That's what I was waiting for, opportunity for the Reverse-Nostra!

You do get more than a few right and I am a closet fan of your ability to not lose it despite being (sometimes rightfully) ganged up on regularly, to be fair.

3x Premierships, will he be injured for the other 2 we will win ?

 

[King Corey]

Dawson 203cm, would be nice to see that corroborated. That's a very big player with aggression to mould into a footballer.

 

[shinboner magic]

Chom forward and darling might rethink not retiring after Chom put his knee in his back a few times

He's certainly developing into a bit of a beast.

Our dear, departed comrade reckoned Wil sees himself as a CHF....be interesting.

Because those 193/194cm defenders can fill different roles for us long term that Will Dawson doesn't fill.
Will Dawson gets the Darcy, King bros and Whitlock 200cm+ key forwards as matchups.
Those we draft might be athletic interceptors (Tauru - 193cm but plays taller with his vertical jump, may still be growing as well for all we know) or distributors (194cm Trainor, shown he can play fwd) that replace LMac/Corr/Logue in a 3-5 years.

Yes that's good, but I can see myself as Elon Musk but my bank balance says otherwise.

Hopefully his ability backs up his ambition.

And still to turn 19.

Watch out when he fills out a bit
