Training Training Reports and Updates

[jimmy35]

Got through training without further injuries, I can breathe now

Now no one go around to JFN’s place for dinner.

 

[Professor Knowall]

Lipinski over Noble is immensely disappointing, even more so when you consider Lipinski doesn't suit the sub role at all but Noble does.

Slow, outside, soft, distance running grinder vs. Pacey, aggressive, hard nosed little suicide rocket. We are going to be looking to inject some fresh pace into the game and we are going to get Lipinski plodding along slower than all the blokes who have already played 3 quarters.

Trying to make sense of it, I’m thinking that with the forecast heat, the brains-trust must think it more important to have fresh legs specifically in the mid-field (where all may be exhausted and plodding by the last quarter), not so much in defence or out on the wing.

Hope the Brisbane players don’t melt under the hot Melb sun on Saturday

At least we’ll be use to it.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Today will be the last we will see from Kreuger. He will be elsewhere next year.

Manangatang's Thirds

with Sier.

We’ve offered him a 1 year deal Mate. If another club has offered him 2 with his history Goodluck to them

Good luck to him also.

Sier just won a flag with Heidelberg.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Sure just won a flag with Heidelberg.

Would have been a handy replacement for Adams and would certainly have got a game ahead of Lipinski.

Even if spellchecker changed his name.

I think he's going back to NASA to rebuild him, it just didn't work

Lipinski likely wouldn’t have been at Collingwood if Sier had decided to apply himself to an afl career.

Sier was a better player than Lipinski - certainly as an inside mid. Lipinski's outside game may be better, but Sier was an extractor rather than a receiver.

My point was we likely wouldn’t have chased Lipinski if Sier had stayed and realized his potential rather than opt for district footy with his mates. Same goes for Mitchell I’d have thought.

 

[lethalburns]

Lipinski as sub has some merit.

In theory he should have more time and space as others start to fatigue.

He has good foot skills when not under insane pressure.

Sier was a better player than Lipinski - certainly as an inside mid. Lipinski's outside game may be better, but Sier was an extractor rather than a receiver.

Sier had maybe 10-15 good games in his career. Lipinski is nearing his 100th.

Different classes of player. What Sier ought to have been, however...

Decent crowd building at captains run

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Decent crowd building at captains run

Any observations? Potential late inclusions?

 

[gouki88]

Any observations? Potential late inclusions?

I think the captains run also includes all the emergencies, so it wouldn't be apparent

 

[Kes1984]

Any observations? Potential late inclusions?

Boys haven’t come out yet. Was meant to be 9am. Still waiting.

 

[gouki88]

Boys haven’t come out yet. Was meant to be 9am. Still waiting.

I assume they have in the hour since....

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

I assume they have in the hour since....

You'd hope so. The club would be showing rather scant regard of supporters if the boys were still in the rooms.
