TRAINING: Friday 9th August 2024

[Guest]

Any other posters who are here this morning: it would be great if you could do a training report. You know, a real one. 😅

Judging by many recent posts it seems there are quite a few in the Who GAF Anymore Camp. Well this thread is for those who DO still care.

Bad start: I just ordered a cappuccino and got an almond latte instead.

Vids laterssssss 🥳

At least it seems like you don’t have a nut allergy.

I smell a late change: no sign of Taj, and Pup is training with the main group.

Interesting, could be pup straight in over Laurie and Howes or perhaps taking the emergency spot for one of them...

Jeffo’s height on the website is 195cm. He’s now 197cm. Calm down Pickett, he thinks that’s it… he’s not gonna grow anymore.

edit: PF, while I’ve got you and you’re calm… Claz again said for as long as Melbourne wants him he’s staying. He has no desire to leave whatsoever. I asked him if he’s confident Melbourne wants him and he said he’s doing all he can to “do the righty” by the club and they’re happy with him.

I think you can but pretty sure AFL have fined teams previously for doing this??

Tracc ambled around the boundary for maybe 10 mins then went back to the rooms. He seemed really happy to be out here, I reckon the boys were also glad he was here. As were all us spectators ❤️💙

As posted in his injury thread apparently he can't get his heart rate above 110 so still some way to go before some moderate exercise but fantastic he's with the boys.

I reckon being back in the club environment is just as important for him. We know that he will regain his physical form, but it's the mental side of things that will be hardest to overcome.

I hope now that he's back in Melbourne and back at the club, that he is given a match day role for the remainder of the year. Would be good for him to feel involved again.

Salo is 100% right to play tomorrow, according to him anyways. His exact words were “‘cken oath I am, I’m PUMPED!” He stressed that had the medics ruled him out he would’ve accepted it coz *they know more than him.

 

*I said “yes but do the medics know more than Demonland posters, I think not.” I didn’t really say that, but I sure as hell thought it.

Not if it’s a day before the game.

If he's not allowed to get his heart rate above 110. I wouldn't recommend that he has a match day role.

My heart rate hits 180 every turnover.

I told Riv there’s a rumour going around that he’s keen to go back to WA. He laughed. Then he sighed. Then he laughed again and shook his head. I said, “it’s nothing more than a rumour?” He laughed again and said, “Totally.”

[Guest]

I was talking to one of the trainers. He told me Jeffo really looks up to a certain player and this player is a role model for him. I was waiting to hear a seasoned player’s name. But no, it’s Rooey, who’s only 11 months older than him and that might just be the cutest thing I’ve ever heard. 🥹

Roo is mature beyond his years and has future captain written all over him. I love this kid, and he is criminally underrated IMO. Need to move heaven and earth to make sure he never leaves us!

I actually think he could step into the captaincy role after Max. Aside from Lever and maybe ANB, not sure who is a leader young enough to take us forward.

Would have preferred an outright denial rather than him laughing, sighing and responding "Totally" to "it's nothing more than a rumour".

There’s laughing and then there’s laughing. His laugh was one that said “how ridiculous! Where tf is this coming from?”

All good. After training I walked past the coffee shop and Alejandro, my gorgeous Colombian barista called out for me to come back. He realised he’d given me the wrong drink so I got a cappuccino on the house. Ergo our season is still salvageable 😁

[Nascent 9,212]

Where's this rumour about Riv coming from?
