I was in no way suggesting that we rush anyone back. Agree that it's the price we pay for a longer season. Other clubs like the Cats, Swans and Hawks have managed multiple consecutive long seasons so we need to manage our playing list to be able to go the distance again and again if we want sustained success. We had a lot of end of season ops and having viewed the rehab group running laps the other day in stifling heat I'm not worried about their fitness. Also not concerned about a player like Clarry not training with the main group at this stage. He seems very fit based on what I observed and no doubt a player of his quality can slide into the main group at any stage without skipping a beat.

We often make a big deal when a player finally gets a good full preseason under their belt which is why I am worried that we have so many players that are not going to be getting a good full preseason under their belt. More so because we went deep into the final series in 2018 and we hope to do the same in 2019. I just hope we will still have legs in late September if we are there.

Here's the comparison with other teams injury lists.

Goody's got a lot of catching up to do. ?

Would love to know how this list compares to other clubs at this stage.

Agree with this. He'll play as a forward, do some rucking in forward ruck situations such as ball ups deep in the forward line and throw ins. Might do some relief ruck work. No need to throw him to the wolves. He's a project player blessed to be learning the craft from Stafford and Max and as an understudy to Pruessy.

You decide. Actual size comparison.

Here's the Gary Pert segment.

I believe the pre-game t-shirts that the players wore last year were classified as being salmon coloured.

Thanks for the photos @Satyriconhome.

Looks like a pony tail but I guess that's in the same category.

I'll see your photo and raise you this one.

I don't think that is considered a man bun but I'm no expert on man buns.

Way to break a story @DeeSpencer

In fairness most of those guys are recovering from post season surgeries. Clarry had both shoulders worked on. At least they're all running and keeping their fitness base up.

We of course expect a full report.

Love this level of detail. ? Brilliant.

Nice. I hope this is permanent.

Joel Smith and Declan Keilty training with the forwards. As is Corey Wagner Kade Kolodjashnij, Tom Sparrow with the mids. And Bayley Fritsch. James Jordon and Aaron Nietschke starting life down back. Christian Salem is with the backs. As is Guy Walker.

Feel like I need a Rosetta Stone to decipher this post.

When do they typically return to training after the New Year?
