Because under the AFL rules, GWS doesn't need to get permission for anything.

How appropriate that the Bulldogs have a player from Labrador training with them.

Maric is the first player since Miller that I've watched playing for MFC thinking "seriously, this guy can't cut the mustard at AFL level".

I find it pretty funny Richmond are considering a spot for Maric on their list alongside Miller. Good luck with that 9th spot Richmond, you wear it well. :)

From what I hear Couch was a solid midfielder for the Collingwood VFL side this year. Meat and potatoes mid, gets a lot of it, not quick. His dad was a late bloomer drafted at 21 years of age I believe. Obviously our Collingwood connections know him.

Insider trading.

I like the meat and potatoes mid description. If he gets alot of it, I hope he's not carrying a tool shed. :)

Sounds like a couch potato to me :)

Sauce?

Does anyone know if Tom Sunberg is training with anyone, Collingwood VFL B and F winner, thought he looked ok and might get a gig.

Saucer of milk to the Moderators room please!!

Thanks.

Have merged two "Permission to train threads" into one. We'll keep it here in the JT Board (Drafting and Trading Board), seeing it is relevant to this board. Have moved the original from the Message board to here. (JCB's one).

Cheers.

PERMISSION TO TRAIN LIST (updated 11.11.11)

 

Richmond - Pat Contin, David Fahey, Glen Grgic, Ben Jakobi, Addam Maric, John McCarthy Leigh Masters, William Wheeler.

 

I am going to go out on a limb and say that Willy Wheeler is a dead set chance to be rookied by Richmond ... however (my disclaimer) ... he is quite short, about 170cm I think. Unfortunately (in my opinion) gone are the days when football ability was football ability regardless of how tall or short you were. Willy is a GUN!!! Full stop. I watched every game he played this year. I am not a relative or friend of his. Trust me. I just worked for Coburg FC and he is an absolute star footballer, BUT... he is 170cm at best. That is a BIG factor in recruiting and no doubt the only reason he wasn't drafted. But at VFL level he is a brilliant little player and so composed and skilled. 

I REALLY hope he gets rookied, as I have rarely seen a talent like him as an 18y.o. small boy playing VFL 1's. I hate the fact that height is an issue these days when looking at drafting talented young, players, but unfortunately it is... and yet useless 188+ athletic midfielders with relatively little football ability get snapped up and talked up as the next big thing due to their amazing athletic ability. 

Anyone remember Diesel Williams? Tony Liberatore? Would hate to think that there is no place for this type of player in modern football.

Not a big factor in saying you are going out on a limb to say Richmond will pick him up. The Herald Sun nominated it back in July.

By the way, he is 176 cms tall

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
