If the injury was serious the club would’ve surely told us. This stuff doesn’t often get hushed because there is no benefit to anyone. Different to game day when it affects selection.

I think Sav Rocca could have been a successful player in today,s game,he was a beautiful mover and very athletic and he should have kicked a1000 plus goals,the only forward he did not have covered for movement and athletic prowess was Ablett snr who was a freak and in my opinion the best player I have seen.

I remember Sav,s debut against the dogs n 92 aged 18 and I thought he would be our ff for 15 yrs he just moved so well,I do not think he ever reached his potential and understand why people underated him he was frustrating and would go missing for weeks at a time but then he catch everything that went near him and more importantly kick everything accurately up to 65 mtrs from goal.

He was my favorite player at Collingwood followed closely by Pendles also loved Brown,Daicos,Pants and Kink but Sav was special it is just a pity he did,nt realised himself.

Have there been any updates on Shaz? It's a worry to hear him and injury mentioned together. I was hoping he could have a full pre season and become the player the Club had in mind when it recruited him. Fingers crossed.

As long as it’s not knee!

 

[Soups]

Shaz out on the track according to Jen Apples

 

[Apples]

Thanks Soups. Jen has braved the conditions! That's excellent news.

 

[Jen2310]

Yup. Shaz looked fine. Obviously whatever it was it wasn’t too serious.

Rumour has it, he's been using his eyes but don't quote me on that.

 

[Apples]

The couple of sessions I attended saw him moving freely. Hoping he gets a rare full preseason. The poor bugger needs a break.

You can never take anything for granted at Collingwood. Well probably lose a few this year to a dislocated eye or something with our injury history.

Cox has already beaten you to that one.

Ha i forgot about that. Fair dinkum, lucky Goldy retired or i reckon he'd be a chance to miss 6 weeks with a broken beard.

I’d be interested to see how your club runner mate held up running around getting smashed in an AFL standard intensity footy game. He might be able to run around a track quicker than them but it doesn’t necessarily make him a better athlete.

Depends on the definition of athlete.
Does athlete include hand/foot skills?
Does it include physical contact?
Because over the centuries I believe “athlete” has described a person basically competing in events that require none of the attributes that AFL players have.

My personal laymen's definition of athlete is someone who can display physical attributes across a range of exercises above the norm.
