Training Pre Season - Who's deadset training the house down 2024 style.

[BloodySwan]

Parker was the difference in many games last season. Was carrying the midfield for large parts as well.

Fortunately our midfield is deep right now, we'll be able to replace his position but not 100% on his output

Better now than around finals , no need to panic , we have so many options .

Towing the party line around here these days a bit aren't You ? Very courteous. Nothing to do with recent sabbatical ?

The party lines lead to Simon Goodwin

Oh dear…

But…

Chuckle, I was kinda expecting something like this.

 

[McRobie]

Obviously not ideal, but I think we will see Sheldrick explode as a result. I’m excited about the exposure he’s going to get in the middle.

 

[WillHayward]

How did Sheldrick go against GWS?

 

[Adnico26Parker]

So Parks' injury brings the number of injuries to 3 (or 4?)

Mills
Francis - TBC, but reported by L McKirdy as a "slight setback"

Not sure about Arnold, but didn't play in either game last Thursday

Im guessing you're saying 'let him off the chain'??
If so, completely disagree. Hes playing a role. His role allows more explosive players to play more explosive roles. He finished very well in the B&F again, broke the Swans record for tackles. Hes just be named the most underrated player by his team mates.
Rowbottom is doing very well in the job he's got now.

Parker out - Sheldrick in.. Let Gus attack the ball and rack up clearances.

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Horse is loyal and generally conservative. I think the team he picks R1 will be:
B Cunningham Melican or Roberts Rampe
HB Blakey McCartin Lloyd
C Gulden Warner Campbell
HF Hayward Mclean Heeney
F Papley McDonald Wicks
Foll Grundy Adams Rowbottom
Int Amartey McInerney Florent Jordan or Sheldrick

I think it's not a given Sheldrick comes in for Parker and would not surprise me at all if Horse goes for Jordan given he has many inside options. Heeney for example attended 50% CB and Jordan, Gulden and Paps can all play inside too.

Other decision is taller (Melican) v smaller (Roberts) backline. Given everything said in the preseason, coupled with team selections last Thursday, i think if Roberts plays well v Lions, Horse will go with him.

The other way he could make room for some / all of Melican, Roberts, Sheldrick and Jordan is leave Cunningham and / or Wicks out but suspect this would be unlikely.

 

[Dan87]

Love Parker but we'll be right

Better now than as an interruption during the season and he's done his pre-season work.

Adams and Grundy really do get the keys now and along with Rowy will feed the boys.

Gus bus is on time.

We talked a lot about how it was a pre-season game, result not important, not all guys were going at 100% etc etc.

But we also talked a lot about how Hayward needed to improve, his spot wasn't assured etc etc.

He did absolutely everything he needed to do in his role, so good on him.

What? So the party line doesn’t get taken to an impound? You learn something new every day.

Yeah I was really impressed with him. He did drop in the second half but it's preseason, looks ready to smash things open

Yes he played well. Maybe the Ltd prep he had affected his drop off in the second half.

That said, imo he really needs a good year for the Club and his future there.

Brisbane game to be pushed back to 7.10pm it sounds like.
4.10pm is forecast to be 38 degrees .

Was wondering if they were going to move the game times because of the heat

Could get a bit of late arvo/early evening wild storms if it's a scorcher? It's felt pretty humid in sydney this summer.

Yeah here is the Thunderstorm outlook for Thursday 5pm.

We don't seem to have much luck with home games in Sydney

Living in Wollongong and Sydney the whole of my life, I've never known a more humid summer on such a consistent basis. So gross and uncomfortable.

Just me or others who have lived here a while feel summer's used to more of a drier heat years ago? Feels more and more "tropical" all the time.
