[Mav]

He looks to be training?

His loads will be managed

 

[The Warlord]

Polecs feet are f’ed, I told you this last year and how he couldn’t train at Port. It’s why they wouldn’t offer the longer term contract. He has to be managed, there’s no other option.

Relax Captain Bringdown.

Relax Captain Bringdown.

I am. It’s not a worry he’s not training, he’s done it for several years now and still plays good footy.

Calm down - he got through last year and played some pretty good footy for us, so I'd back us to have our heads around the issue (if there is one).
Not to mention, we've had guys with foot issues before (BJ, Wright, etc.) who have worked with ballet coaches to help fix the issue. So it's not new for the club.

Just don't jump to conclusions in...what are we now...December?

I’ve seen the issue first hand, It’s completely disgusting, he has real problems transitioning from pirouette to assemblé and his sissonne basically doesn’t exist..
lucky he has some good instructors.

Sammy's feet never came good. BJ has played about 10 games since he hurt them.

Not that it's necessarily the same thing - you'd hope we were smart enough about it that it won't be an issue. Even if it's just that we have a bit more potential depth on the wings and can manage him during the season as well.

What is it with grown men shaving off all their body hair?

Don't want to be pragmatic or anything but daresay massage is a big part of rehab from big training loads. Shaved makes massage easier for masseuse and more comfortable for the victim (proper sports massage bloody hurts).

Back in the day it only happened when some poor campaigner passed out at a party and the boys whipped out the shaving cream and razor. Half the mo or the legs. Every now and then a manzillian. NTTAWWT.

 

[andana]

I thought they shaved if they were using a lot of bandages. Cut down the pain.

I used to work with an ironman tri-guy. He waxed. The reason...

It is a reference to Ben Cousins turning up for training one day with every hair on his body removed, granddad.
