[ElliottsMaggies]

Also no Jordy yet.
He needs a big preseason

I'm more surprised Fin wasn't there tbh.

Yeah, was talking to Gabelich about that yesterday. Who knows, could be sick coming back from europe.
But hopefully there on Friday.

Not really. He just needs to manage his body. If he's healthy, he'll be right.

 

[sr36]

Except one
Disappointing Pendles has been MIA
First time he hasn't been there day 1 pre-season.

Don't think he'll make it. Lacks pace and clearly not committed enough to do the extras necessary for a one paced want to be mid.

Agree. I think he'll only play 350 games once his career is done. Too lazy to get to 400.

To focussed on basketball you think

Jakob Ryan - 6:32 (same time as Nick 2 years ago)
Ed Allan - 6:37
Ned Long - 6:38
Lachie Sullivan - 6:45
Tew Jiath - 6:54
Wil Parker - 7:08
Charlie Dean - 7:09
Iilro Smit - 7:26
Harry Demattia - 7:28
Oscar Steene - 7:46
Ash Johnson - 7:47

Harry needs to improve big time if he wants to be playing midfield / wing mins
One minute slower than the top guys is far too large a gap at the top level.

I judge fat harshly everywhere.

Even Fat Jesus?

I’m really surprised by Harry’s time. I’ve always thought running was a strength of his - especially after he did months of extra running during his finger rehab last year.

I'm hearing Pendlebury has a bit of a basketball background (can anyone confirm?), which might prove useful.

Makes sense. He might do alright with a round ball. Struggles big time with a Sherrin.

Send him off to Ireland. He can hone his skills in the Gaelic space.

[HoraceStrasbork]

Had one today as it happens

 

[Fat Jesus]

If anyone deserves the extra break time it’s him. Not disappointing in the slightest.

He's been busy training and completing triathlons. I'd say Sidebottom is as fit as always.

 

[Bianconeri]

All talk.
As if he would say anything different atm. Like yeah, nah the older players have fell off a cliff.
The season will decide one way or another.

I remember someone last season saying the group returned in better shape than any premiership-defending team they’d seen.

Im a sucker for a crispy pork Banh Mi.

The roast pork Bahn Mi at Bun bun on Springvale rd Sprinvale are awesome, there is always a line out the door but it’s well worth the wait!

 

[jmac70]

Training the god dam house down!

Pendles just did the Noosa Triathlon, so he most likely needs a tailored recovery.
And a tailored program after that.

Maybe just spending some extra time with his family.
Doesn’t really need to get to training early.
The man is a machine and knows his body best.

You think Mitchell is a big boy... then you see him standing next to Long..

I can just imagine, selling them in the heart of the local populace

Unfortunately, Springvale is way out of my area.
I've scoured the northern suburbs for banh mi and found some really good ones.
Just avoid the Roll'd franchise - their buns are mushy!
Thank f**k Vietnam was a French colony and not British, because they taught the Vietnamese the proper way to bake bread.
Jesus, I'm making myself hungry.....
