He would have needed time to recover from the concussion and face injury so he'll come back fresh

Sounds like a minor tear to the ligament which heals with rest Don’t think he’ll need much rehab

yeah that’s make sense Agree (not being sarcastic)

Either the Pies have plenty of injuries or they rested 10 senior players Bizarre to do that 7 days out from their first game. Perfect prep. But I guess most are over 30. I reckon the Pies are in real trouble this year

I know. that’s what I was commenting on Maybe just stick to the ‘no comment’

Geelong are lauded for turning over a third of their flag team in 3 years, whereas we are painting as failures

Gees the Tigers must have a long injury list, what happened to all the guns they recruited in 2024. Smilie and Hotten etc? I hope for Yze's sake they start to come on as they looked poor

Do any fans feel more optimistic about our season given our solid preseason form and the new game plan already looking to be implemented to a degree I think we'll be around the 7-11 win mark

Only 15 days til round 1 after a looooong preseason and so many changes Bring it on!! Once I see the new game plan and the kids playing well I will be happy

Good signs but only played bottom 4 teams Measured excitement for me

So no Jeffo and Kentfield for the first few games at least you’d imagine. Mihocek and JVR should be wrapped in cotten wool

I didn’t realise how bad the ruck rule is. So if the ball is thrown slightly to one side, one ruck can’t compete for the ball? eg, the grundy example

It’s a Football Ball then. 😂

He averaged 20 disposals and 2 goals per game. That is a rare thing. I would argue he is very consistent given his role and how damaging he is with his disposals. more consistent that Cyril Rioli was, that’s for sure. He only once average 2 goals per game and never averaged 20 touches.

Charlie Cameron, Cripps and Curnow are not A grade over the past two years. At least not better than Kossy. Curnow has only scored 10 more goals than Kozzi and Kozzi plays a much more diverse role and averages 20 touches. What a ridiculous list

Not for North supporters

Any reports from the Casey game?

what kind of a [censored] does a tackle like that in a practice match? should be suspended just for stupidity

Kozzi Pickett 28 touches. Kicked 5.2 He is out of this world

Kicking it almost 70m off 2 steps is not bad not bad at all

Most impressive was his composure from someone so inexperienced. Never blazed away, his decision making is excellent which you can’t coach

Kozzi PIckett ............ Daylight ........... Steele Howes Heath Latrelle

Absolutely Was not trying to downplay our performance. Them missing their 2 best young guns makes a big difference to their shallow list Was very happy with the effort and performance

So Kentfield only came on when Mihocek was injured (according to Chapo) Jeffo must be doing something amazing at training to be ahead in the pecking order in front of Kentfield

How ridiculous are the 2 min simulation scenarios? Practice that stuff at training. People are trying to watch a match and sure it doesn't really matter who wins, but it's still a game of footy
