Hmmm good idea, a little qi gong therapy. I wonder if hanging the weights from the nards helps hamstrings? Any physios in the room?If only Mr Miyagi was still around, he could remedy it.............RIP karate man...

I can’t see it on the website yet, but Geelong posted on Instagram that Cockatoo has signed a one year contract extension. It makes sense, gives him and the club a chance to see if he can actually play footy when he’s (hopefully) injury-free.
Good move.
He's no chance to play this year, let's give him a pre-season to get fit and confident in his body and make 2020 an absolute make or break year.
Either you play 15 games, or you find a new home in the GFL for 2021.
Shame that his body might let him down, has immense talent, reminds me far too much of Paul Lynch.
Training but only 70% i think from last report ill see if i can find itCan anyone advise if he is at training or remains in rehab?
On the GFC Podcast Stokesy said he is compelting his modified tranig program fully and is expected to ramp it up after XMas.
When questioned about the modifoed part - Stoksey replied that he's doing everything asked of him and that the club is playing the long game... the inference being there is no need to have him going full speed now.. that will adjust post XMAS as he joins full training drills
GO CAtters
The impression I got from it was they dont want him to be going full speed right now... but he probably could if he had to... he's modified currnetly thru load management rather than an injury managementYep a full pre-season should be goal number one. If that happens, I'd be happy with a nice block of anywhere from 4-6 VFL games. Get him actually match fit and in form first. Then we'll see what can happen.
He's one of those blokes about whom they used to say that if he didn't have any bad luck, he wouldn't have any luck at all.Didn't feature Thursday night vs the Pies. I queried that w Kingy from krock. From what Danger said in a recent presser, has been flying in pre-season despite the reigns put on him.
*I nearly fainted when one of the media outlets doing a piece on the trial labelled Cocky as "hard luck story" was also one of the players who didn't play. Thinking that he'd broken down since Danger talked him up.
Maybe. As far as I can remember though he's always been selected when available for seniors. They may have just been looking to test kids they were unsure of the capabilities of. Like cockarfitt said, if he doesn't play a marsh match let the worry-o-meter spike"He seems to be tracking ok at this point. They still cautious but he's been in full training or thereabouts. He just needs to stop out running his own body " (Link to the Age)
mmmmmmmmmmmmm but I would expect that if he is in serious consideration for AFL selection before say round 4 this would have been the perfect platform to see how he is progressing.
My worry meter has fired up again.
If he doesn't play at least 1 match in the marsh series I'll start to worry a little.
I don't think anyone could possibly say that they think the club has been rushing him this time round.If he doesn't play at least one match in the Marsh series, the club is certifiable if they try to run him out in the seniors before Round 4.
Simply must have some continuity in actually playing football matches before being considered for the ones.
I don't think anyone could possibly say that they think the club has been rushing him this time round.
There's always the vflNot on to the field, no.
But if he plays Round 1 in the seniors after anything less than a couple of competitive games in the lead-up, I think that's not even just asking for trouble.
It's much more like demanding it.
