Training 2025 Pre-Season - THEY’RE BACK!

[The Dingrel]

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

Something we haven't had in years

Trial Teakel Back?? Not convinced he'd be great in a lock down role but certainly reckon he'd be a half decent intercept mark.

 

[Passmore]

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.

Nothing wrong with some self belief on the footy field.

I don't mind it. As a supporter though I'm interested if he actually has AFL level CHF in his skillset in reality.

Great news… time for Larkey to get a decent chop out…. He’ll be all smashed up like Josh Fraser was if we don’t help him out

 

[Nylex]

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….

I’d like to see Wardlaw and Jy down there for periods too… they will bring the pressure, and it will also keep there noggins safe, being out of the centre square

 

[king of the road]

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

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

Whatever happened to him? Delisted from BF?

Harsh if so. I think a few other poster could count themselves lucky.

Noticed all of collingwoods senior recruits turned up with the 1-4 year players. Even the 33 year old Sidebottom made an appearance.

So have our new standards setting 30+ yr olds turn up yet? Or are they saving themselves for the long season ahead? Keep them cherry ripe for finals I suppose.

tbf we only have 4 30 year olds in 2025

parker played in the grand final so he is still on holiday but is training overseas
lmac showed up early
darling is making his move over from perth next week
Corr hasn't shown up early tho and is probably one who should have, contract year

 

[DarkPhoenix]

what happens with Zurhaar/Duursma/Ford?

There's 6 forward spots + bench.

If they're good enough, they'll earn a spot

 

[New_Roo]

what happens with Zurhaar/Duursma/Ford?

It's called depth and competition for spots...to cover injuries, suspensions and form....

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

Hence we still need to recruit a kpf, to cover chom injuries and darling to be phased out

Is Dawson 203cm?

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

Because the 18 YO North enamoured by may just regularly be sitting on the heads of 203cm defenders.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

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

I really hope you are giving it with the same malice to the pitiful plodder who finished just behind him…

Out of interest when is the last time Corr has been “cherry ripe” ready to go from the preseason starting the season proper?

Will you take my $200 bet that sheez finishes above him in a few weeks when they run the full squad?

I’m not after pissing contests with some random on a football forum. Just consistency.

Next minute cuts and infects his finger out for 8 weeks preseason after attempting to open a Cherry Ripe packet

Haha. Okay mate, I couldn't be more consistent! If you think Will's a better runner than Sheezel, put your money where your mouth is. If not, shut up. A pissing contest on an internet forum is exactly what you were after otherwise you would've scrolled on by.

Don’t f*cking tempt fate…

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

We'll, maybe not. I stopped growing at 14. Most blokes I was friends with at 18 had stopped by then

Davies Uniacke a ‘brilliant goal kicking midfielder’ apparently. Most goals he’s kicked in a season is 11. He’s sufficiently conned the media and the footy public and we will be rewarded handsomely when he departs.

"Syd Jackson Medal".

Never change Ralphy!

Pretty certain it's more of #lovemytigersralphy and/or his office jockey not doing their homework (as usual), and taking something they hope is right as fact..
