Training Jen's training updates

[TradeDraft]

anyone going to training tonight? (friday - 7pm) I'll head over there after dinner with some friends.

Nope.

 

[unplugged]

Nope.

Very insightful, Dave.

 

[Chameleon75]

My understanding is that he was permitted to train with the club all the way through his suspension. The club and player chose not to do that to give him space and privacy but it is allowed.

Only while provisionally suspended, now that he’s formally suspended he can not train with a club.

If we were geelong supporters, we wouldnt be impressed with the choice of ground.

Will Coxy be crossing his eyes then?

Apparently he will be the phil inn.........

To change the topic ...

... has AFL centralized club apparel design?!? Pies and Bombers scarves designed in the same style????

That’s just equalisation gone insane ...

... seriously, does the AFL really think the only difference between Collingwood and Essendon is that one supporter base likes stripes and the other likes red?!?

Never seen that scarf before this pic...…..weird as.

Funny how Chris Scott is having a whinge over the ground because he has a terrible finals record, never heard anything from bomber Thompson. I'd be disappointed if our coach was carrying on this bad over something that is completely logical.

Is that based on the Age article written by Gleeson with the headline, "Moore to test hamstring in make-or-break session on Friday night?". If so, I would discount it. One of the worst football articles I have read in a long time. Opens up with the statement that the Pies will subject Moore to a make or break, searching examination, but backs up that claim with nothing more than direct quotes from Buckley's SEN interview that state Darcy is essentially going to training like everyone else.

"He, like the rest of us, and the rest of the players [will] train up and prepare at your best and get some work in at the session tomorrow and get some time away... and Darcy is just one of us that's in the process of getting his mind, body and spirit absolutely ready to perform on the night."

Fake news at its fakest.

I would prefer Moore’s rigorous fitness test than Sidebottoms’s (apparently Tohill will kick him in the nuts again to make sure he’s ok to play)

In Geelong's defence, the only glimmer of hope they have in having the venue changed is to squeal like a stuck pig.

If they simply say "well, I guess we'd prefer to play in Geelong than at the MCG" nothing will ever change.

That might be your method, but there are others.

It won't ever change anyway, they have a tin pot 'boutique stadium' that will never host a final period.

Knowing Bucks, he wouldn't have. He'd just say we will take on what's put in front of us and focus on what we can control.

But, Eddy, that's a different matter

The rules are home state. We wouldn’t whinge having to play a Victorian team at a neutral venue

Out of interest when was the last time Collingwood played a final at Victoria Park?

It's the thing I dont understand, nowadays the grand finals and so on are dominated by corporate members and so the first 3 finals should be for the regular fan. I seriously read earlier that some supporters claim it would be a Collingwood dominated crowd, without realizing that they're actually capable of evening out the numbers if they dont wanna rock up that's there own problem.

You mean other than this one?

Never. Although we did play an away game there once against Fitzroy in 1985. This will put us in good stead for next weekend.

My case rests

( I think I went to that away game)

Me too. Fitzroy didn't have a proper home ground that season, as the Junction Oval was out of action for some reason. As I recall, they actually played their home games at the Western Oval (Footscray) that year, believe it or not.

I was watching the AA thing and chris scott was on the couch pontificating about something. As I said to my friend, he has a way of looking like he is saying profound stuff and yet nothing of real importance comes from his mouth. Generally I think Chris has the luck of being backed by a very professional football division down at geelong.

Fitzroy played home games at Vic Park for a year or two did they not? Maybe my memory is hazy.
