I agree that it is aimed rurally and local audiences, but as other have said, 4:10 on a Friday afternoon is just weird scheduling really. Had it been on a Saturday then yes, people outside of the area like myself could make a day of it. Oh well, cant please everyone i suppose.

Got a bit of a sad story on Tassie. I know an ex player really well from the Daniher era. We got talking about the past players club that is quiet big now within AFL circles and the fantastic job Rod Grinter has done in creating that to what it is now. Unfortunately it started because word had gotten around that 'Tassie' has been pretty ill for the last couple of years to the point where he had to have a leg amputated. There was some pretty horrific ex VFL injuries that were still giving him grief even after so many years on from his playing days. Not only that, he was living in an old commission home up on the coast with his wife being his main carer giver with little to no support. No support or help from the AFLPA, so the past player decided to raise some money and help Tassie and his wife Lyn out with medical expenses as well as equipment and other general items. Pretty said for such a legend of the footy club.

How did Riley Onley train?

Well its been confirmed that he will be missing the first 12 games if the year. They can easily place him on the inactive list from here on as it would be considered a long term injury especially if they want to be extra cautious and give him more time off or even the full 12 months.

As in copped a bake at training today?

Wonder if this potentially opens up a SPP spot for Boweys injury.

I presume its Rhett Mclennan, Riley Bonnar or Dylan Roberton

Dont tell me thats the dreaded beep test they're doing out there today..

I think for the first we are witnessing how much of a huge loss Todd Patterson is to our AFLW list management..

Maybe Matty Lennan is the succession plan?

Best mates with Luke Beveridge. Wonder if there will be some form of pulling power there.

Buys stocks on the Gold Coast Suns. Their list is scary good if there is one man that can bring them their first maiden cup its Dimma.

I have no idea what the [censored] you're talking about to be honest.

You're easily pleased. Good for you. Id rather good a good detailed training report in a training thread. As I said, if thats for you, go start your own thread.

Thanks @Demonland and the rest of the track watchers who provided a very thorough and detailed training report. Much appreciated. To the rest, please start a nicknames thread and leave it on there. Some folks honestly dont give too hoots about nicknames and prefer just to come here and read training reports as per the thread title. Cheers, knackers.

Yes you can But there is a lesson to be learnt here and thats never take player on face value from a general supporter perspective. All along we were told he that he was going to sign and all the journo's like Tom Morris were wrong yada yada.. Behind the scenes is a completely different story. We have now learnt that mid year Judd had pretty much made up his mind on leving to WA exactly the same time we were told he was staying. I know players from opposition clubs on a personal level that i bump into from time to time mostly in the off season when they're back home that share some great insight into life as an AFL footballer. One of the bigger resourced training that the AFL have exhausted into the past couple of yearsis extensive media training for players. They're constantly educated on what to say in the general public and in front of camera as well as social media aspect. Judd has been trained well in this area and he pulled it off well. In saying that I hope he his career turns to [censored] at Freo. [censored] him.

Not overly worried. Its going to be short term pain so I have us finishing bottom 4. Can see us having a mini rebuild type similar to Hawthorn. Get 60-80 games into the likes of Langford, Lindsay, JVR, Windsor, Turner, Tholstrup, Taylor, Pickett, Howes, Culley and who knows from there! We'll add two more first round talent next year which is perfect timing before Tassie.

Its funny looking back at the pages on this thread.. lol

Scary part is that there is a few that genuinely believe this. I mean, i have now learnt Oliver is better playerthen Wayne Carey and Gary Ablett senior on here. Anywhere else and the general AFL public would genuinely [censored] themselves laughing at this.

Tholstrup. Haven't heard much so far and really needs a big year next year. Hoping to see him take the next step as a half forward, midfielder.

Nah. Bont, Danger and Dusty could also go up forward and kick goals. They had flexibility in their game, Oliver doesn't. For instance, the highest tallies of goals in one season by Oliver was only 12 and that was back in 2018. Bont 32 goals in 2024 Dusty 33 goals in 2011 Dangerfield 45 goals in 2017

Exactly how Jack plays through injuries according to Wrecker 🤷‍♂️
