training with the Eagles tomorrow.

 

[Biggie]

Watched Aaron Black

last night at training

Running machine no doubt.

 

[Grahame]

Be interesting watching this B side. If they have got a new (better) game plan then maybe, just maybe, the desperation level will be through the roof as the kids try to impress. Last year we saw plenty of examples of how a supposedly talented but apparently disinterested side (with an outdated game plan) got rolled week after week.

 

[Forward Press]

I remember Aaron Black

Multiple players found. Use birthday to differentiate. eg [PLAYERCARD="23/11/1962"]Joe Smith[/PLAYERCARD]

, picked up by North during our Sheppard/Weedon/Stevens draft - we opted for the latter two over Black at 25. Showed a bit of promise at first and was disappointed, especially given we eventually got rid of Weedon and Stevens fairly quickly. Wonder why he's now front of the line when it comes to top up players...

 

[Forward Press]

You support Man U, you tell me.

Given last night, this hurts even more.

 

[Forward Press]

You know if we bring him back too early he'll just ping his hamstring again right? Then we'll send him back out and he'll ping the other one.

More pings in our captain than The Hunt for Red October.

to be out of Covid protocols as early as tomorrow to play Gold Coast. He was a close contact so unless he tests positive between now and then would have served his quarantine period and would be available to play round 1

Shit - we've got this one now!

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Very grateful to everyone who stayed up all night to pay respects to Covid.

Covid has blessed us with the return of one of our flock. Praise be Covid.

, the media says he has entered "health and safety protocols"?
does that just mean that he's isolating because he's a close contact? or is there something else to it? i see it's the second time it's happened to him but i have no idea what it actually means?
thanks

Exactly that. He is a close contact so is isolating. Jon Ralph has said he will clear the protocols by tomorrow, so he should be good to go unless he tests positive himself.

 

[The wily weagle]

It might be prudent advice (given that we are missing most of our starting midfield) to just tell Nic Nat just to punch the ball forward as far as he can at both center bounces and stoppages.

Don't try and overthink it, don't give the gold coast mids a chance to shark taps by being fancy; just keep it simple, old fashioned, and continually try to win the territory battle

Sit our half forwards up high and try to capitalize on moving the ball forward and getting it into the forward 50 as fast as we can

Don’t mind this although it should be noted that Witts is a more than capable ruckman so Nic won’t have it all is own way like he often does

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

So if shuey and Ryan play.

HB Nelson McGovern Foley
C Gaff Redden Naish

Will be the term used for any player who is a close contact or someone who has covid in the AFL.

They wont just come out and say " Hey player x has covid" It will just be that term used instead.

you might not have noticed how easily opposition halfbacks have been able to get possession and run the ball out of our forward line.
Witts is going to be out of form as he had one pre season game coming back off a knee.

 

[southcoast]

If Ryan plays I'd actually start Rioli in the centre square a few times.

And vice versa too - would love to see Ryan in the centre square a few times.
