Waters' opposition to operating room.

waters to tribunal

with how the afls going now, if he touches someone he'll get weeks

 

[Quinz]

He does need to be careful, last match he played he got two weeks for taking out our midfield coach.

Actually I think it might have been Shane O'Bree, but that doesn't sound nearly as good.

Gee Adam Cockie looks sick as a dog in that photo from today...maybe he has been a bit ill lately?! Could just be the whole 3km time trial bit too

Jeez, I hope we can get jangles out there in 2010...he would be chomping at the bit! Can't wait *fingers crossed* ...stay injury free Beau!!!!

Bloody hell it's still october and I'm ready for round 1

Rumour has it that Waters has lived on a diet of goldfish since his last game, leading to his slimmer physique.

 

[Turks]

Cockie is a regular at the movies i work at he hasnt seemed to have dropped much weight since last year its probably just the way the photo was taken

 

[faisan]

I saw Waters on 7 news too and he is hella fit!

He is going to slot in nicely into our back line and provide that toughness he is famous for.

 

[swannies]

My man Jangles Looked ripped Cant wait to see him CRUNCHING poor souls in 2010.

As for Luke Shuey the footage I saw on the news he was leading the pack about 5 mtrs in front of Brad Ebert so no wonder he is stuffed. Plus Beau has had a few pre-seasons and this is Bootsy's 1st.

I think this was the 3km time trial so the boys would have been pushing it, to see if they could better their Nab Draft camp or previous years time.

Im excited

2 x 1km time trials back to back. Finished one, recovered for a few minutes and on to the next. Beau, along with a couple of others, gave the young'uns a 150m head start in the second.

Was at the Subiaco v Swans game in september and he looked slimmer than when he was drafted. A full preseason will help his fitness for sure.

i think beau beau just gave me a stiffy

You are a worry. Phone your therapist tomorrow.

Was Beau the youngest member of the premiership team? If not, who was? Butler?

I forget how young he is sometimes because he was so cool, calm and collected from the very beginning. He is what, 23/4??

 

[Lucev23]

Yeah Beau was, I remember in the Grand Final the commentators make mention of him being the youngest player on the field out of both teams.

24 next march.

Yes, he was the youngest on the ground.

Ha Ha, Pisser

Sullivan looks like he is running well in that WA Today pic, hopefully he has improved his stamina and can take the next step this year.

 

[Wirra for PM]

While we're talking about Beau, looks like he will be playing mainly back next year according to Suma (link):

Sumich said Waters would slot back into the half-back role in which he has played the majority of his 61 AFL games, while also being a pinch-hit option in the midfield and forward line.

So looks like someone's going to have to shift out of the back line, IMO it will probably mean Scooter playing more in the midfield.

 

[sTeeL]

Or Butler.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

With Waters' elbow, there's no way he could've put on or kept on that much muscle if his elbow was still weak.

You just can't lift any weights without putting at least some stress on the elbow joint.

...Who remembers Mundy coming on here and saying Waters will have to retire like Hunter?

 

[ANDOwce]

In - Waters

Out - Butler

 

[WCEforeverman]

Anyone know if Ash Smith was training?

 

[neng]

Anyone seen on the news Beau had finished his laps and turned around and noticed Davis was struggled so he ran back and helped him push himself to the finish.

I did see that!
Gave me a warm feeling about Beau im really glad he has come back absolutely ripped and fit

 

[-Buzz-]

So Notte still looks like Keira Knightley and finished last in the running drills.

Really hoping Callum Wilson decides to stay with us.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

I love the idea of our South Australians playing in the backline together. Waters, Butler and Hurn. Three completely different players who will complement each other brilliantly.

So Notte still looks like Keira Knightley and finished last in the running drills.

Really hoping Callum Wilson decides to stay with us.

Took over 5 mins to finish each of his 2nd and 3rd km run's while most did around the 3.5 with some around 4 min mark for all.

I know its early but still, theres some worrying signs

Really dont like the look of Wilson either. Looks to be the kind of player who does well in WAFL but struggles in AFL. Looks awkward and at times uncoordinated
