What is happening with all this groin soreness? Three players all at the same time? Is that normal?

It can be a sign of over-training. Players trying to do too much running during their break. That was what happened to Jackson Archer this time last year.

No people here are just too dumb

Although I do find it amusing arguing against their stupidity at times

If you're going to have a go at people for being dumb, you might want to get your commas in the right places. Or just use any form of punctuation for that matter. Just saying.

Nah I don’t care about their punctuation on a footy forum but feel free to be the grammar police

I’ll have a go at them for their stupid points or logic though

No, that's fair enough, and more power to you. I'm just saying that unless you use it your sentences actually say the opposite of what you want them to say and people might misinterpret your meaning or miss out on the benefit of your salient and excellent opinions.

Several months on the sidelines for Sausage? I swear the initial prognosis wasn't as bleak

It looks like a cut and paste job from a month or so ago with a couple of minor amendments.

Heard his arm brace comes off this week and he’ll join full non contact training after Christmas. Not sure when he’ll be able to do contact training.

Anyone down at training this morning?

 

[DesertRoo]

How’s Powell tracking this pre-season? Has he been playing through the midfield?

If he ends up getting parked on a flank this year and doesn’t come on as a midfielder then that trade out of 2019 first round is going to go down as one of the biggest * ups in the history of the club. Ultimately cost us one of Serong/Flanders/Pickett.

It’s just a reflection of where the club was at, no one capable or qualified to make football related decisions.

Goady in concussion protocols after his knock last week.
Corr in a moon boot. Apparently out until early February.

For football players during the off-season?
it’s very normal

Thanks for the update GR. He's looked in good nick early this preseason. 6 weeks would be a good result all things considered.

6 weeks... sounds like it could have been worse?

All thing going well, he should still have a month and a half of preseason?

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

6 weeks takes us back to training in the new year, not the worst result at all. A heap of cross training, weights and rehab in between plus the added benefit of having probably a 10 year + training age, he will be fine.

 

[Shinboner1]

heck poor Goad.
Imagine first preseason and you get knocked out by one of your team mates.
Hope it's not a long term thing for him

Strained ligaments according to Corr.

 

[giantroo]

So the Xmas break will start from the 18/12 until 7/1 (3 week mandatory break).

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Strained ligaments is absolutely the best case injury based on what was reported.

Could have been so much worse.

Young players who have not strengthened the core and legs before they bulk up the upper body

Notes and pics from GL on facebook:



Last week of training before their Xmas break and the first session at the Latrobe Sports Oval, home for the next 6 or so weeks.

A far cry from the heat and sun of the Gold Coast with constant drizzle and overcast cool conditions.

Today was predominately a skills work day.

Standouts - Comben in the match sims was, at times, Careyesque in the way he leaped and marked the ball in defence. Was a real factor in several plays BUT he seemed to pull up a little sore from one contest and, other than some goal kicking practice, did not take any fursther part. Seemed to be walking fine, was poining at his achilles area to one trainer but it could simply be that someone landed on him and they were exercising caution.

Biggest standout though would have to be McKercher. Now I don't want to get ahead of myself, and it's pre Xmas training only, BUT I am tipping him to have more impact off half back than Sheezel did last year. McKercher seems a lot more at home back there and instinctively moves better than Sheezel who was learning the role on the job. McKerchers run, penetrating kick and back. up running off half back offers something very different to what Sheezel brought to the role. If he can bring this workrate to the season this will free Harry to move Forward/Mid and allow him to work in the roles where he has shown most flair.

Other notables, Nyuon's leap and ground coversge is fabulous and may be a surprise packet.

Maley in his words was "putting on a f*cking clinic" during the goal kicking drills and was pretty pleased with himself (all in fun and showing what a character around the cub he will be).

Pink was looking solid, as was Kallan Dawson so we. have something to work with in defence even if Corr looks to miss some early rounds.
Wardlaw was making everything look effortless and had his dancing feet on.

 

[I Want To Believe]

FWIW Colby has already come in from $10 to $8 in the 2024 rising star. Got him at $10 off the back of Sheez giving me a win last year . Figure he will get plenty of opportunity next year and that back up running to receive again should rack up some nice possessions.

I involuntarily laughed aloud at this
