Koz and Roy Boy having a water fight.

GW, reporting on the stuff that matters. 

Importantly, who won the water fight?

 

It’s a wrap. Short session but great vibes. They’re champing at the bit to get the season going.

Leb is a very happy lad. He said it’s good to be back in boots. About his injury- listed as a skin infection, he thought it was an ingrown hair at first but the medics said it was likely a spider bite and it became infected. In any case, it’s been cut out. It’s his big toe which is now sporting three stitches and he temporarily can’t bend it. He’s not playing tomorrow but has been told he’ll get a run vs Freo next week. 

Must be a Collingwood official paying off Spider’s to try curtail our season…

It's very impressive that you didn't say ''chomping''.

After reading these reports I'm still none the wiser on who is playing tommorrow! Surely it cant be that hard to have some sort of an indication based on personel present!🤪

I’d give the win to Koz, because the water fight ended when Roy squirted his bottle at Koz and Koz doing Koz things, sidestepped in a flash and the water hit Selwyn.

😬

Patience PF. Kev was here and I’m sure he’ll furnish a comprehensive report. I hope so lest we incur the wrath of big bad @Roost it far 

Absent: McAdam

Rehabbing: Melksham and McVee lots of running. Moniz-Wahefield. Tholstrup and Kentfield not doing much.

Not playing tomorrow: May, Salem, Petracca, Viney, Spargo, Gawn, Langdon, Fritsch, Henderson, Windsor

Train-on: Roy George (Culley not present).

Leaves the other 28 available to have a run tomorrow:

2 van Rooyen
8 Lever
13 Oliver
14 Billings
16 Laurie
17 Bowey
19 Langford
20 Lindsay

35 Petty
36 Pickett
37 Chandler
38 Sestan
39 Mentha
40 Woewodin
41 Brown
42 Johnson
? George

 

 

You know who’s really excited to be playing tomorrow? That’d be Harves. He’s rapt.

Also, someone on here suggested a change of nickname for him, perhaps Bull or Bison. I ran it by him and he said it’d definitely be “very cool” to be called Bison. I said I’d make it happen which I shouldn’t have said coz how the hell can I make it happen?! 🤷‍♀️

Luker says his recovery will be loooong. Minimum two months. He’s doing very, very light exercises and stopping frequently. He’s still barely recognisable. 

TBH I probably wouldn't have recognised him before, Sounds like he has quite a few mini-pre-seasons and weight sessions on the agenda.

There's your answer!

Anyone know how Kolt is tracking

 

Given the nature of Kolt's injury he just turns up to training but he is not doing any running or drills. Today he spent quite a bit of time with his friend Kentfield - gentle stretches etc, hand-balling, etc. They will both be a couple of months away based on official and unofficial reports.

Did some running with the main group - a big step forward from last week. Don't expect him to play tomorrow though.

Yeh he trained properly for a good half hour but came off and put sandshoes on.  Looked uncomfortable but just needs to heal

Is Windsor going to play?

Don't think so - but he did not come out with the "early group" but I think that was mainly because that group was doing some serious running, given they are not playing tomorrow.

Based on what we saw today I expect the Casey game will not have any AFL listed players, and as reported earlier it may be that Roy George has a run in the main game (even though not on the list?).

The ones i listed at the start are not playing tomorrow, the trainers said so.  And they did bulk running at the end of training.  Not ideal for a game at 10 tomorrow morning.

This was:

Trac, May, Langdon, Gawn, Salem, Spargo, Viney.

Luker is a long way from being back to how he was pre-illness. On Monday he seemed in good spirits, today not so much ☹️

My emoji finger gets tired easily.

So thanks everyone🥈

I had a giggle at Clarry introducing himself to Henderson "hi mate I'm Clayton, nice to meet you" as if he didn't already know.

Was nice to see the guys get around him too.  Can be daunting first training with a bunch of blokes you don't know


Had the pleasure of meeting our newest player, Jack Henderson. He seemed a little overwhelmed, (by being thrown straight into the fray, not by meeting me, at least I hope that wasn’t the reason 😅). He’s small in stature but has a presence about him. The boys were great in making him feel welcome and he’s ”stoked” to have been picked up by us.

I would have replied “Clayton who”!

i suspect it must be very hard to know that yr teammates are gearing up to play against opposition and you're stuck in rehab and recovery

 

My squad prediction:

B: Lever, Adams, Hore

HB: Bowey, Petty, Howes

C: Sharp, Rivers, Billings 

HF: Pickett, van Rooyen, Sparrow 

F: Chandler, Jefferson, Turner

FOLL: Campbell, Oliver, Laurie

IC: Langford, Lindsay, McDonald, Verrall, Fullerton, Sestan, Mentha, Woewodin, Brown, Johnson

Was Turner there?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
