Tyson will be missed. Not for his below average disposal, but because he can extract the ball in close. Selwood and Ablett now need not worry about that.

Yes, I’m sure they were losing sleep over the thought.

I define a depth player as a mature player you don't intend on playing unless significant injuries hit across the board or to a specific area. As has been mentioned by the club we had 40 players to choose from this week. They are not clearly depth players in my definition. 

Ok, my definition of depth is outside the best 22 so we seem to have differing definitions.

And don't forget you also admitted to holding back supposed inside info on Jack Vineys injury, instead telling the board that he was 'on track for Round 1'  multiple times.

You purposely fed false information into the training threads.  I would ban you to be honest.

 

I was following the Club line lovey

Not my place to disclose info I am not supposed to, it's called principle and integrity        ah that's the issue you have

Yes but if you couldn’t tell the truth about what you knew, you shouldn’t have posted the "on track" line.

I’ve always looked forward to your pre-season training reports, they help bridge that long gap between our yearly disappointments, but perhaps you should not comment on any injury/availability/recovery issues as you are obviously compromised.

I can understand if others would want you banned for a time as you have apparently knowingly posted on here things that you knew to be untrue.

It was interesting to hear the comments from Roos about selection this weekend. 

On Tyson and Brayshaw, “ they have to be carrying injuries otherwise there’s no way they shouldn’t be playing”. 

This is from a man that helped the club get better along with PJ.

Slightly less confident about this game now than what I was a few days ago, maybe it’s because we’re now going in as favourites.

Tyson didn't look injured to me at training did the whole session

Brayshaw, maybe the days he missed took the edge off near game day

If you read my posts on this thread you would realise I don’t believe Brayshaw and Tyson are injured. This is some kind of statement by Goodwin IMO. 

I brought up Roos’ comments in case members weren’t aware.

I don’t think you’d knowingly post what you knew to be false information. I think you’re just trying to save face by saying that you did because the players/staff just humoured you in relation to Viney returning for round 1.

Having recently had a couple of chompers extracted myself, the Brayshaw call is totally understandable for mine.

I still can't wrap my head around Tyson as emergency though, that narrative regarding him last week was that he was BOG by a mile in the Casey practice match last week

No worries, D77, I'll track it down out of interest.

Thought it might have been on MMM this arvo. Which come to think of it I'm not even sure if Roosy is doing MMM radio this year...?

Ethan, saving face on a footy forum, same sense of humour as @Petraccattack I see

 

Nah chap, the original intention was and always was, Rd 1  if everything went right, it didn't 

As anybody who has ever damaged a lower part of the body, in your rehab you subconsciously alter your gait, running style ever so slightly so as not to tweak the rehabbing  bit. this can lead to pressure on another bit that's not used to it

Think this occurred with both Viney and Tmac

I was just given an early heads up but kept it to myself knowing the Club was going to release

Going to training etc and talking I occasionally get a bit of advanced info, if I am told to keep it to myself I do

Hence my early call on a couple of selections last year, coz I was told I coukd or at least hint

Listen to Goody's bit abour rumour becoming folklore

Got a bad feeling about tomorrow with our outs.

Cats will fire for Selwood's 250th and that spud Menzel will kick 5 (3 of them on Wagner). Cats by 30pts... But will be very happy if I'm wrong!

Is Maynard a tagger? Run with Ablett?

You know what, %#%# that!

Various training attendees post reports to inform members on this site about training methods/standouts and they never make out that it’s about themselves. You do!!!!

Many appreciate your training reports but for crying out loud stop making out that you’re the only one privy to information. Your antics are tiring. I quoted you a month ago about Wagner’s progress and you had no decency to reply.

We are a resilient bunch and the discussion about round 1 selection has been fantastic. 

We won’t support the boys any less regardless of which 22 run out there!!!!

Interesting the Tyson/Brayshaw omissions.

If we assume both are fit (even if slightly underdone), perhaps it says something about the mindset of the coaches, especially after shipping out Jack W. Playing well isn't enough, having ability isn't enough - it's about doing everything that you're capable of doing to get the most out of yourself. Are we seeing the bar for Tyson and Brayshaw set very high because that's what the coaching staff think they should be achieving? After all, they were both drafted pick 3 as gifted juniors.

Maybe Tyson was dropped based on his last match? (r23) :laugh: I distinctly recall him turning it over numerous times in the first quarter, costing a goal or two and really handing them momentum. When exactly can you drop a player for the sins of a r23 match? Certainly not with a JLT game.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
