Preseason 2021

[CaptainMurphy]

Jumper looks great with the red collar sleeves

Why can't you get jumpers with numbers on the back anymore? That's what I want to know

 

[St 07]

The red is a subtle yet aggressive touch. I love it. Bad for the wallet, however!

 

[Virgin Dog]

Can't see it properly, but seems to have a bit of a retro look to it. I like it

Wrong person to ask that Question and I have never had a number on the back of my jumper

New jumper design for 2021? Don't mind the red collar and sleeves..

Finally, some new gear. Interesting you can’t even see the manufacturer in this pic though so maybe not official.

I think you're thinking of someone else?

Oh sorry. Someone said there’s a vantage point - near the/a bridge? - to see the ground, thought it was you

Gives me huge vibes towards the heritage jersey

Just before covid came I emailed the club store and they confirmed they can do number printing if that helps.

Was going to go in to the store to get last seasons, but never happened after the drama. May be worth contacting them to make sure they still do it but I’m sure they can

edit - a few years back I was able to order them with the numbers, not sure why they removed that option though. Got Libba 21 around 2014/15 (got him to sign it at a WA open training session ) and got a Bont 4 in 2017 with the gold premiership badge

Perhaps Easton hurt his hamstring (again) posing for that photo

How many more times can he do it before it ends his career? Perhaps his legs are just too muscular that the back muscles / upper body can’t handle them.

Any sports scientist opinions would be much appreciated

I’m no scientist but I can see why we keep him around purely for marketing reasons.

Unlucky for Wood. Hopefully it's not ongoing.

Feels like it’s been ongoing for a few years to be honest. Feels like he’s never far away from another hammy.

 

[Mofra]

We need a good spy.

Pretty sure Jon Patton will stream it for us anyway

Would love to act like one of those people who pretend to know the inside goss. But sadly just saw it on Twitter right as it was posted!

I sorta meant throughout the season but yeah you're right. I think Woody might be transitioning out of the best lineup this year as it is. Hopefully he gets a clear run and a chance to show he's still capable.

 

[ScragCity]

I think most of us have been questioning Wood's spot in our 22 for a few years now. Fantastic player but I worry that he's cooked and we tend to carry cooked players for too long imo.

As evidenced by signing him for two years despite him being on the wrong side of 30.

It was taken from an ad for Asics, so I reckon it will be official.

3-4 weeks, usually means at least 6

 

[BallaratBulldog]

The side should learn to deal with not having Wood, as that time isn't that far away. We are still trying to replace Morris.

 

[Golden_6]

3-4 weeks, usually means at least 6

I get the feeling it's 1-2 weeker, but the 3-4 weeks is Easton's timeline given his history.

 

[doggies ftw]

It sucks for Woody, he did find some good form late last year. I don’t want 3 talls and Wood anyway though. Keath, Cordy, Wood or Keath, Young, Cordy for my round 1 side.

Personally I'm not a fan of running all of Williams, Crozier, Wood and Cordy in the one side. Williams is first selected, closely followed by Crozier, so it should be coming down to Cordy or Wood each week anyway.
