Training Pre Season ‘25

[juss]

Cotchin played 42 (15 - 10 - 17) in his first 3 seasons. Would hardly call him injury prone on the same level as Grimes

On talent he would have played 22, 22, 22 though.

All I'm saying is I remember he had some various injury issues for a few of those early years, it's more about getting right for Gibcus for when he's 23 and beyond, if that means a slower first few years of his career when we aren't contending then so be it.

Louis Kellaway trained too apparently?

any good?

 

[Boxo004]

The club promised regular injury updates when Serpell came on board. We've not had a single one since he was appointed. Very disappointing.

Theres literally a report at the top of the injury thread youve been posting in. Not current but it’s a rebuttal to your rant

 

[tiger_tough]

any good?

Dunno?

Yeah, when from November?

Nah its not. If you read my post it says not had a single one since his appointment. The first one was a welcome to club interview and its hardly the regular updates we were promised following the survey feedback from the new CEO.

It’s literally an injury update you wombat. But no he hasn’t given a current one but unlike you I couldn’t give a heck. It’s December and most injuries will be recovered from by the time we start playing. Couldn’t give two shits who is walking laps

 

[THE_GUN]

Just because someone hears something, shares it and you don't like the result doesnt mean he is wrong. For all you know Gibcus could have been running laps and didn't feel right so went and got checked out.

LOL What if he didnt hear anything and just making sh!t up

 

[Profop]

From memory Cotch had a bit of a dodgy achilles early doors

 

[THE_GUN]

At least Gibcus is doing kicking drills. We can put that nasty rumor to bed.

Was not a rumor it was just 1 person making sh!t up

[tropicaltiger]

Thanks Gun sorry I have upset you.
Was talking to a chap that lunches with some industry folks including north personnel and one associated with tigers and they discussed poor Gibbo and this bloody knee. Fingers crossed he recovers fully but there seems to be an issue that surfaced a fortnight ago.
I will refrain from posting things in future

Did anyone actually see him kick a ball? Reports I got was handballs only

Attended today & got some info on some players, all from the players themselves.
Faull is managing a previous back injury, scan after xmas, which sounds like a check to see all is good then he's back with the main group etc.
Smillie went off today with a hip flexor issue, didn't seem too concerned about it.
Rioli pinged a calf 2 weeks ago & has been in rehab ever since but isn't too far off getting back into it.
Brown wearing the fluro cap which is for no contact. It's just a precaution at this stage as he's still recovering from surgery.
Banks playing more half back than wing given D.Rioli has given that spot up.
All draftees wrapped to be at the Club & are loving their time with us.
Match sim - plenty of focus on back half stoppage, getting it out by hand then kicking inside 50, another stand out drill was the same, a defensive spoil inside 50 & back to the other end again to work on turnover game, again moving out of the initial contest by hand then kick inside 50.
Lefau spoke about his recovery being much better this time around. As a VFL player (we were going to draft him before it happened) once the season was done he was basically at the Club doing the rehab on his own, this time around he's basically got each day mapped out for him etc.
K.Smith is keen on the running HB role which is up for grabs
Bauer was a standout today, is enjoying pre season & hoping he gets through to the season etc.
All up they seem a happy group & as ever are awaiting the start of the season so they can play some footy instead of non stop training.

Yes things are not Good , Truth is always better

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Bauer was the highlight from the late rounds of the season.

Should be a walk up start based on that and given his preseason so far he could be anything.

He hasn’t showed any emotion in his games so far but that appears to be changing. He’s probably feeling far more comfortable.

that’s great to hear Bauer is flying, now he gets through the rest of preseason unscathed.
Played some ripping VFL games off hb this year, games where he racked up the possessions to go with his aerial stuff.

His first AFL possession was a ripper. Terrible for him that he went straight off with injury.

He’s going to have a highlight reel, no doubt.

Has taken a while to get a new favourite since Stacky left but I think Jacob is the one.

Don't mention Stacky's name...
It's taken me a while to get over his departure...
What could have been...

[Wrenny]

Bauer getting big wraps wherever you look so far this pre season.

Is he going the multigrain or wholemeal?

Nup didn't get to speak to him. His recovery is a slow burn.
