No wonder Greenwood took extra time off. He's going to be put through the ringer this year playing CHF and pinch hitting in the ruck.

 

[Tiberius]

Well, it goes something like this; Our rucks?, Tristan Xerri injury {plate inserted in his cheek}, dimmy pizza's, dimmy sliders, our Arden street ground resurfacing {completed}, fishing, sharks, rebuild or not to rebuild?, Colby burning up the track, by most not all watchers, Australia Day {Have a guess}, mowing the lawn, train on players?, the AFL will no longer reveal players weights, cooper Harvey training well, and majority of the team training better, fitter and with PBs on the track are so far on schedule, players loads being managed, eg: Harry and a few of the other guys, just doing enough at this stage of the season to be Xerri ripe for round one!

Much appreciated. I feel like I've never been away.

Now I am dizzy

CT signalling days spent in gym this summer.

Either that or number of possessions he got at training today

 

[FlyHigh18]

When none of your 37 half forwards are injured but 4 of your 3 defenders are out. Cursed.

 

[year of the roo]

So amateur.

 

[nelroo]

Wat?

 

[The Dingrel]

He kicked 9 last year in a VFL game didn't he? That gives me hope that he has the tools to make it as a forward.

you'd have to think he has more going for him football wise than Mason Cox. On those grounds alone our key forward setup should be superior to last year's flag winners. And lets face it they bounced very quickly from just a few seasons ago with a change of coach and president. There is hope.

Well from the above photo and where his and Free's eye's are tracking the ball, he certainly appears to have better body positioning than a guy who only plays ruck. I think Hugh has excellent footy IQ and knows where and how to place his body.

Not sure you know this but it's because he has a basketball background.

Hugh was last out on the track yesterday taking extra set shots on goal in hot conditions. The only other player doing the same was Colby McKercher.

It's now a meme of gargantuan proportions but I really do see the basketball background stuff with Hugh a lot. One of the most unique styles of play in the league

 

[FlyHigh18]

He has to justify his pay cheque somehow. The more interesting question might be, what is he holding over Essendon to force them to maintain his pay cheque despite being replaced in his job?

Actually, all the other clubs chip in and pay Dodo’s salary. Been going on for about 20 years. Essendon believe it’s a big club compensation thing.

Based on what I saw on Friday and the couple of training sessions I've seen, here is my round 1 team.

B: Pink K Dawson Bergman
HB: McKercher Chom Scott
C: Stephens Sheezel Shiel
HF: Stevo Greenwood Simpkin
F: Zurhaar Larkey Curtis

R: Xerri LDU Wardlaw

IC: Powell, Tucker, Phillips Goater

In consideration: Lazzaro, Duursma, CCJ, Thomas, Fisher, Harvey, Biggie and LMac. Depending how they train and other injuries over the next 6 weeks

Corr and Ford might run out time ro be ready

I’ve been optimistic every year in pre season however years of ineptitude have me at a low point
I think this R1 side is bloody awful, the FB, HB, C and HF lines are very average. I thought this side would look ok after 5 years of this.
We have a lot of similarities with the Detroit Pistons of the NBA
Hope this is post has egg all over it at end of year but I just don’t see it

 

[The Nostradamus]

Good to see CCJ up and about

Yep CcJ the piece we need to cement himself

Having an actual second tall target to partner Larkey and pinch hit ruck

Has to be given the majority of games and if he doesn’t cement himself by years end then we need to target another ready made KPF

 

[The Talent Scout]

I missed the bit about dimmy sliders, could you give me the page number? Cheers

Hey Lomas no problem, dimmy pizza's and dimmy sliders on thread 100.

 

[The Nostradamus]

So supposedly last session at la Trobe tomorrow for those that live near there and want to pop down

I'd treat this as year 1 under a solid structure.

Had the pool to ourselves

Only criticism was the price of the food there

Did a few morning walks down to the Lake; hard work getting up the hill coming back

Went out on the Lake to look at the rock carvings
