Training - Thursday 8th May, 2014



Recommended Posts

@ Ascobar, Ethiopia? What are you doing over there?

@ Saty On topic - What is happening with rucks? In training who dominates out of Spencer/Jamar, Gawn (If he can compete) are we heading to a rotation system like baseball pitchers or will we stick to the best man each week? Or perhaps I could rephrase is Jamar really back long term, would be wonderful.

Thanks

Going to take the morning off again, here is something for you all, especially for the country and interstate posters, as you know I can talk to the players, if there is a question you would like answered, and I can get to the particular player, put it here, if rubbish appears I won't bother, I'll print them off in the morning

Novel idea, saty.

Gawn: any chance he'll be elevated purely to play forward?

Tapscott: what have the coaches told him he has to do to get a game? Just interested to know what he is working on.

Watts: what the hell happened with his back? How is it now?

Tom McDonald: any chance we'll see him up forward when Garland returns?

Strauss: are they trying to turn him into a forward? Or just round out his game?

Salem: sub again this week? Or will Roos let him have a full game?

Dunn: when is he bringing back the mo?

I would be interested to know from Tyson how Roos compares to Sheedy, given the stature of both as coaches. And I live in Ethiopia, so does that mean my questions get the highest priority ;)

Are you the Ascobar from Addis Ababa?

Il be the first to put my hand up and say I have been critical in Saty in alot ways but very respectful for the mountain of work he does going to training and providing valued inside info. Especially for someone like me that lives 3 hours into the country.

A job well done Saty. This place would be alot more dull without you.

Said before don't take anything personal unless it is a personal insult, pet hates - sweeping statements without factual backup, and unjustified bagging of indiviual players just for the sake of it

across all the online footy forums salty is the best poster

Saty - if you speak to Bernie Vince, can you please ask him for his sister's phone number? Either sister will be fine.

Here's a fact - they are both smoking hot.

Cheers.

I agree BB.

I dont think the Tribunal came up with the guilty judgement. It may have come down from the new CEO.

if it was a pre determined decision, it was obviously made because they thought it was the direction the public wanted the game to go, clearly they were wrong when 92% of people voted they thought he should get off, and the other 8% was Damien barrett with fake names.

Would love to know if any of the admin there have seen Dr Peter Larkan's latest tweet, that if Viney had indeed "pivoted" on his left foot at that speed, he'd likely have torn an ACL. PLEASE ask Mahoney if they're getting in a qualified medical professional to vouch for the stupidity of the AFL's argument.

Sat if you see Josh Mahoney can you ask him how much consideration they gave to the likelihood of an increased sentence for Jack in deciding to appeal.

He won't get off.

He may not.

Maintaining your subversive seed planting.

Good win wasn't it?

Unfortunately I don't believe it's what they think the public want.

I think it's all about limiting the potential for future lawsuits from players related to acquired brain injury.

I know the obvious answer is for players to sign some sort of waiver, but I think legally there would still remain a duty of care and it wouldn't work.

Better move quick - Aiden Riley has already snatched one up.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
