Training Apples' & Jen's Training Thread 2021 (Latest report #3590)

[sr36]

We basically won’t have a team by round 3

Who do we play in Round 2 that are going to result in a huge number of concussions in that round?

Who do we play in Round 2 that are going to result in a huge number of concussions in that round?

we play carlton round 2

I don't think we have had many players with concussions. Rioughy has had a couple. Mihochek once last year. Who else?

Mayne's the only other 1 that comes to mind.

Probably not nearly enough time tbh but will certainly throw the cat amongst the pigeons around September.

This could impact across the season.

AFL introduces mandatory 12-day breaks under new concussion protocols

The minimum 12-day return to play protocol is an increase on the previous six days required under the 2020 guidelines

In the current age, Gavin Brown would never have come back onto the field in the third quarter to help win the GF in 1990 after being knocked out in the 1st quarter. In fact, he would not have got back on the ground a week later if a GF replay had been required.

But then again, in the current age, TD probably wouldn't have knocked him out in an off the ball incident. Has become extremely uncommon.

Does anyone know if training is on tomorrow please, cheers

Can't see why Not

Is it always on on Friday?

And ...

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

And ...

And ... nothing really. We are in 60 something place to get the vaccine because of our regulatory concerns. We're a cautious country now, preoccupied with safety. I was just drawing attention to a bygone era when AFL rules, regulations and game style reflected a more carefree, perhaps reckless approach to life. Sorry to intrude. I'll see myself out.

Aren't we the envy of the entire world right now with our lack of Covid cases? I believe we have now had 0 locally acquired cases across the entire country over the last 10 days.

I'm glad we're a cautious country that's preoccupied with safety, because of said caution we don't require emergency approval of the vaccine so we can afford to do our due diligence.

We are also lucky to be surrounded by sea rather than countries, making containment and eradication of the virus so much easier.

Incidentally, there are 7 countries ahead of us in the list released yesterday of those who have most successfully contained the virus. Consequently we rank 8th in the 'envy of the entire world' stakes.

All class Jen hot shower and perhaps a toddy to warm you up.

All class Jen hot shower and perhaps a toddy to warm you up.

Maybe Jen should do her report before the Toddy?

And wealthy enough to make it possible to dole out the payments that made a 3 month lockdown possible without large numbers starving to death.

 

[Mike Olotripo]

I'm glad they actually trained outside in the wet as we haven't been known for our great wet weather football in the past few years.

Would've been a great day for Sier in the guts though!

I'm not sure what the point you're trying to make is.

You said "We are in 60 something place to get the vaccine because of our regulatory concerns. We're a cautious country now, preoccupied with safety.", yet the ranking system you just provided has New Zealand at #1 and Vietnam in second place because they both introduced strict containment measures early. So all I'm seeing from this is that being a cautious country and preoccupied with safety is the way to go.

The argument that it is easier to contain and eradicate the virus due to us being an island is true. However, the UK, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia, Ireland are just a few examples of islands that have not managed this as well as us. Look at the UK as a specific example of just how poorly they have managed this pandemic in recent times, due to an incompetent government whose lack of precaution has made this second wave much worse than it should have been, they're only just now introducing mandatory quarantine for international travellers! I could go on about all the dumb decisions they've made (there's a lot of them), but I'll leave it at that.

COLLINGWOOD
Finlay Macrae $126,900, FWD/MID

SC average (NAB League 2019): 83

Macrae moves exactly like his half-brother, Bulldogs star Jack, and was rated higher in his bottom-age draft year than him. Despite being unable to take the field last year due to COVID-19, Macrae has the class and poise to make a case for selection and can play anywhere on the ground.

SC verdict: Nice to see another Macrae enter the KFC SuperCoach ranks, and he should follow a similar trajectory to his brother’s first season, where he averaged 61 points.

type who displayed his marking prowess at both ends in the NAB League. Henry posted five tons as a bottom-ager and is more likely to begin his career in the forward arc.

SC verdict: Like most forward rookies, his scoring will probably be inconsistent but he will be difficult to resist if playing.

Isaac Chugg $102,400 DEF

SC average: 64 (NAB League 2019)

Chugg has emerged as a Round 1 bolter with the defender staking his claim for a spot across half-back. He was taken by the Magpies with pick 28 in the 2020 rookie draft after impressing for Launceston in the Tasmania State League.

SC verdict: A $102,400 defender is a KFC SuperCoach gift. Watch this space.

Tom Wilson $123,900 FWD

SC average: N/A

Wilson has hit his straps entering his third season on Collingwood’s list. The basketball convert has changed significantly since he first arrived in 2019, averaging 46 points in the VFL that year, and is right in contention to fill a spot on the wing.

SC verdict: Track his progress if he gets a call-up for the Magpies’ pre-season match.

Will Kelly $135,400 FWD

SC average: 36 (1 game)

The father-son prospect has burned up the track this pre-season and is firming for a Round 1 spot. A third tall forward, Kelly slotted a goal with his first kick last season on debut, later soured by a serious elbow injury.

SC verdict: Key forward rookies and KFC SuperCoach make strange bedfellows.

has been a standout over summer. Picture: Daniel Pockett/Getty Images
Reef McInnes $117,300 MID

SC average (NAB League, 2019): 84

The Next Generation Academy prospect played all over the park as a junior and impressed with his blistering speed at the national combine. A unique 193cm-talent, McInness posted scores of 122, 132 and 159 across a three-game stretch as an inside midfielder as a bottom-ager.

SC verdict: Has versatility on his side but his scope to become a hulking contested ball-winner means he should be a KFC SuperCoach favourite in the future.

Caleb Poulter $117,300 MID/FWD

SC average (SANFL U18s 2020): 130

Poulter dominated the SANFL U18s tallying 25.2 disposals, 10.6 contested possessions and a tick under a goal per game to go with 130 KFC SuperCoach points. A taller midfield option, Poulter has a raking kick and, like McInnes, would add something different to the Magpies’ midfield mix.

SC verdict: You’d pick him for the mullet alone. One who is probably more likely to break in mid-season given all the names eyeing a Round 1 berth.

Beau McCreery $117,300 FWD

SC average (SANFL, 2020): 72

McCreery was plucked from the SANFL after catching the eye with his speed and tackle pressure for South Adelaide. The 186-cm forward consistently hit the scoreboard and averaged 72 KFC SuperCoach poits from 15 games.

SC verdict: Had mixed KFC SuperCoach returns this year, passing 90 points on five occasions but posting another five sub-50 scores.

Nathan Murphy $123,900 DEF

Murphy has been on the outer since breaking in for two games in his maiden season. An intercepting medium defender, Murphy should be used at some stage in his fourth season at the Holden Centre.

SC verdict: May not play right away but keep him in mind.
