That fitness base must've absolutely collapsed. Probably a 30/70 prospect whether we even see him in the 1s again this season

I reckon he will be a nice addition to the round 23 team that will destroy GC.

Need to get him in while the new do is still fresh.

"good to be back" hopefully that also means back into seniors this week after his 2 weeks in the vfl

He's one bad swimming pool away from it all turning to custard

edit : I actually like the new do

 

[Samsquanch]

I’m sure he was personally disappointed not to play in the seniors but I reckon he smiled when he realised who he was playing with, and he certainly won’t regret playing in the magoos this week.

It's why we need some retained x players to stick around as leaders in the VFL. A bit of help, some support and some inspiration goes a long way. Not hacks. Respected players.

Love it and hate it at the same time ! (mainly because Im old'ish and don't have enough hair to pull it off )
Looks like an NBA / NFL player out to get noticed.
If you can walk the walk and talk the talk , dress like, and make a personality you like for all I care. We all know he can back it up on field when up and about.

Might be controversial and off topic but ... Never liked Kanga Lotto , however I understood the significance. Just didn't think everyone needed to "broken" from the identity they built for themselves when growing up, kind of like a marine. Yeh it may have bonding significance as a team mentality but it just seems like a marketing opportunity is lost and possibly even a "why the fu**" from the players when first getting to the club. -> Looking at Ford here, if he had lost his perm but I cant speak for his thinking . Maybe our players had been "generic" as a result when looking at the TV?. Can't remember if we were all short back and sides back in Brad S era. I mean some individualism seems warranted in todays Media eccentric society so maybe Kanga Lotto needs to brought into the new age.

Though in saying that our player retention is high and my views could be way off.

Not sure what the $$ get out of Kanga Lotto is but maybe it can be turned into a supporter donation fund to meet a target and keep the uniqueness of players. (FFS if they set off a bidding war where the highest amount against would result in them shaving their head)

Anyway just feels like we could do better in promoting the uniqueness of players and probably not the thread to post a rant.

+1 to the mullet.

I think the players like it. Edwards apparently felt part of the team when he copped it. Ford’s perm was a result of Kangalotto. There are other “punishments “ apart from the shaved head.

Hey Passmore , Its good that Kanga Lotto is more than just shaved heads then and there's more options available. I didn't realise Ford got out with just just a perm as I thought it was limited to a pre determined (rigged) outcome.

Like I mentioned, I wasn't sure if my view was way off, I just hope players have the courage to speak up if its not what they want but understand both sides of the argument in that team acceptance is very important and maybe part of the reason for the good bonding.

Good to know that players feel accepted

Patch said on SEN he will have another week in the VFL this week.

He has blown up fitness wise in both VFL games is that correct?

Seems the logical and correct decision if so.

A competent coach will do him wonders I reckon.

I don't believe he is as lazy as people claim, he's had a bad year for multiple reasons.

Will be like a new recruit come game 1 next season.

Huge fan of TT and what he can bring us in future.

Anyone know why he needs 3 games in the VFL to regain fitness after only missing 4 weeks?

Guys miss a month with a hamstring and then don’t do a month in the VFL before coming back?

Serious question - Is there no residual fitness and has he deteriorated that much, or was he not fit enough to start with?

I just can’t understand why everyone is so understanding of someone needing to do a 3 week block in the VFL to build up fitness after 20 rounds have passed and only 2 remain?
