Preview The 2022 Pre Season Training Official Thread

[SuperBashBros]

Supposedly Doedee had something but journos didn't bother with a whole of team injury update question from Adam Kelly the other day.

I reckon Doedee has had multiple finger surgeries or treatments. Had it looked at post season 2021 and the most recent training photos still has it all strapped up to keep it stabilised.

Im just glad it looks like his ankle is okay which is what we were concerned about.

Did Jimmy have that jawline last year?

They weren't joking when they said he's been putting in the work.

in that photo it looks like he’s lost a hell of a lot of weight even in his face..

maybe the Rochele pick.. along with the half a dozen other small mid/forward types we grabbed in the draft.. has really put the wind up him..

Players think they are really fit and then they join an AFL program and discover what really fit means.

Hope so, as he is a talented young lad. If he can get his fitness to where it is required we may be in for some very pleasant surprises, including the odd burst in the middle.

Without being dramatic, that is a very dramatic change.

I noticed a change when they returned for pre-season training in November, and he’s clearly continuing working hard over the Christmas break. Great to see.

left. Can't even fathom how Mackay could end up your favourite player.

 

[GROTTO]

Are these only preseason injuries so far?

Sloan - minor hamstring.
Murphy - neck surgery.

The Crows generally like to wait till the season starts before we start announcing season ending injuries or multi month injury lists.

Maybe someone with very little skill ability who is athletic and can run and carry all day.

If you had 45 Ned McHenry's at the club you'd be in great shape.

DMac gives us all hope that any one of us can become 200 game AFL players.
Don't even need to spend one minute in the gym so less work that most players.

In fairness to DMac, while he had his shortcomings I don't think lack of work ethic was one of them.

 

[1990crow]

In fairness to DMac, while he had his shortcomings I don't think lack of work ethic was one of them.

I would argue he didn't spend time in the gym anywhere near what others did.
So yes, I stand by work ethic comment.

Were you there?

Everybody at the club always raved about his preparation standards. He just has a body type which isn't conducive to building a lot of muscle bulk.

Work ethic is what got him 200 plus games.

False

Or the style of play to want bulging muscles.

Mackays issue was his game was less then the sum of its parts. That said, being out of the era, there is certainly enough there for a club that was obsessed with preparation (to the point it was a detriment) getting sucked into.

That would appear to be the whole truth ad nothing but the truth.

Wasn't there some talk he might be lining up in the SANL next season?

on radio this morning saying that we were always way stricter with skin folds than other clubs. Apparently the S and C staff at the time said that skin folds that low could theoretically hinder performance etc.
