Training Preseason Training Thread - 2024/25

[Dark Sharks]

I think Jamo exists purely to just be injured at all times.

Why does he have a contract again?

Reckon I was saying this 2+ years ago, yet here we still are. Bloke can thank being tall for his AFL career going as long as it has.

Too late to do anything about it now, hopefully we can get/keep him healthy and he might come in handy down the track this year as break glass KPD depth.

Either way I'll be keen to see the back of him unless something drastically changes in 2025.

Saw Hurn running down Selby Street this morning. Dude looks as fit and as ripped as his playing days.

Really happy to have him on in a development role. Amazing footy IQ, skills and leadership.

Oi, that's my avatar, no sharing!

No particular standouts given the nature of the session but I really liked the way JWill was moving. Archer Reid looked quite fluent as well

Must have been on the laos trip.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

I get Masto vibes off him (even a very similar voice).
Definitely good for the culture, and looks a handy type on field.

Jubilant HJs incoming?

I’d love a jubilant HJ, been a while.

I don't think it's strange that you're a bit of a butthead.

He was on light duties today but so were some others

When asked on 6PR the other night about player availability, McQualter said a few players would be on modified programs initially but there were no long term concerns

Thanks kindly. I hope he gets a chance through the middle at stages this year but might be tight for spots there which is nice to say

Go to the 10.00 mark of this interview for his comments on injured players. Talks about Hewett just before that

Hoping it’s just a smokescreen for him to work on his fitness before being allowed back into full training.

Definitely an interesting tin foil theory.

All the training reports thus far have pretty much been “and Harley was there too”. Certainly doesn’t look fit.

Does he get a special hat?

Well that's certainly something

Surely there's better ways to do that then tanking his potential trade value at the same time.

Couple more knocks after this and suddenly it's "He'S oNe MoRe CoNcUsSiOn AwAy FrOm ReTiRiNg..."

Either way, not ideal in the very first week of pre season

The important question is, was it caused by a tennis ball or a trampoline?

It is curious how he managed to get a concussion in such an early preseason session, when presumably there isnt much contact or intensity

That 5 goals down in the first quarter of the 2018 Grand Final soul selling still being paid off I see.
