Please dont start this again on this thread

At risk of upsetting people again, i want to say that giving players breaks when injured seems to be a common theme down at MFC, does anyone know if other teams do it?

Could this be a reason for the 1 - 2 weeks turning into 2 - 4 weeks as it takes them longer then expected to get back into it?

Tapscott,Grimes,Williams & Spencer were the only ones I noticed whom did not do full match day rehersal. Grimes and Williams expected to join next week,Tappy a couple of weeks away whilst Pencil looks great and is not far way as well.

Hang on... I thought Spencer was 10 weeks with a knee injury and possibly a longer term injury..?

Is this now not the case?

Cheers for the report. Great to hear the team spirit is up and about.

Someone else mentioned it first, i was just asking a question. Settle down fella!

and yes it is the same question as i asked on the other thread, just people decided to call me racist (absolutely no idea why coz i was saying the complete opposite) and the thread got closed bfore it could be discussed.

I spoke to Pencil at the Family Day, the six to eight weeks is his preseason, will not be considered until he is right up to speed, his knee is fine, so it will be a judgement call as to when he can play

Thanks JCB, A question I have is what makes you think that viney is ready to play this year specifically. I usually hear he is ready to play mostly on his physique alone, is there any specifics?

Cheers

His fitness,class is just what we want.Another star is born IMO.He has just got it.!

Jetta/Strauss train either look like playing this weekend? Cheers JCB

Hi champ- both players trained well.Maybe short of a gallop.I believe both may strip with Casey this week.Jetta's parents were there today and said his shoulder is holding up well.Both good emergency type players IMO.But you are the champ-your opinionI'd appreciate.

Complete opposite?

BJ is right, don't derail the training thread.

Start your own and ask the question.

Jetta/Strauss half fit would be better than Joel Macdonald, who would have to have played the worst game of defensive football I've EVER seen last weekend...

Tappy another 2 weeks away is very disappointing for me. This kid will be a star but injuries hold him back.

I believe it's the same injury, the hip as a result of the fall on the sprinkler. They did a "clean-up" op at the end of the season, and that's what he's coming back from.

yep, didnt u see the moderators post when he closed it?

something about unwarranted allegations wasnt it?

false allegations is something that filth supporters do, not demons.

people have discussed the question anyway so there isnt much more to say.

. Trenners is really excited to strip this week also.

and Kelvin Lawrence. I wouldn't be surprised , based on training today that he strips this week.

Thanks for the report.

Just out of curiosity, why do you use the term 'strip' to indicate a player will play? never heard it before.

im suprised his still standing after the amount of damage he took last year. thank god it wasn't one of the stick or ceramic players who took the bumps tappa took.

We all have had bad days and nights, that is why I got suspended trying to protect WYL that's life.By the way I can cope.I am just a battler like Joel,we get there in the end.

You are correct.He may always have a resticted pre season where he swims a lot instead of doing running work as a main fitness routine.

One will get a huge shock when they see him now.By gee I'd hate to get on the wrong side of him.I even thought today, his body may be too big for his injured hip.The guy is just HUGE.

My mate just spoke to jarrah and he said he will be back on Friday unless something comes up

I can confirm that all going well- that is correct, although it maybe the weekend.,this is what was mentioned today at training.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
