Just saw a reference to Spare possibly just overlooked or forgotten, but who is spare?

Halfway and crowded are great but too long. Need something short and punchy, maybe: Frat or Tree ? Dog is in use. Out is too difficult.

Look Patrick, leave it alone! If you keep fiddling with it, it will fall off. Rule changes that have been suggested recently seem designed to make the game look like an u10 lightning carnival. Great, if you want the season wrapped up in a fortnight. And while we’re at it, let’s get rid of the nominated rucks. Another u10 rule we didn’t need.

All I’m saying is that would normally be done in consultation with a coach - someone experienced like a former player who was skilled in this position. The general skill level of ruckmen has fallen off a cliff in recent years - that’s why they all seem to be 210cm with low skills. If the club can’t provide that then he needs to see who he can buy some coffees for - Moore, Madden, Newman etc.

Do we even have a ruck coach? The absolute last thing I would do to win a hit out is to stand next to the modern day equivalent of Mick Nolan – the “galloping gasometer”. TC might be a nice bloke, but it appears that Verrall is always standing on the left side, being held down by somebody with 30+ more pre-seasons, and not using any of his leap. Say what you like about Stafford, at least they practised jumping for the ball. Looks like they have now put him on the injury list. Probably due to being the only one left potentially able to wrestle probably the strongest guy in the AFL. Just seems a bit stupid, and not really teaching him anything.

Are you saying that you cannot confirm your sauce? Journalista?

Started the full sleeve?

How did they go? Were they able to give a genuine contest?

Wonder what sort of odds they would give for Jeffo? Could be interesting if he got a couple of five-fors. Has to make the team first.

I believe it was actually during the 2K, while under intense shelling using live rounds. There may yet be more casualties. Those that survive will be battle hardened. Might be a good time for some players to see what’s available in some lightweight carbon fibre body armour in case anything is needed later in the season. Ideally we don’t lose too many before the season proper.

Can’t remember what phase Goody was talking about now – always thought it was we’ve got it, they’ve got it, or it’s in dispute. Our contest has been strong for a while now. A game style that minimises damage from turnovers is obviously required, as the high contest game will naturally produce more turnovers/clangers. But With a fit Tracc Clarrie back... Kick it up to Roo. They should get flag number 2. (out of the last 5) I’ll see myself out…..

Yes I thought I saw Darcy Moo-er kicking another cow.

I’d say [censored], but definitely open to interpretation. Edit: Well that didn’t make a lot of sense. Didn’t realise that that word that rhymes with log, and starts with F, was rude. Hadn’t thought about it that hard before.

Too far gone, Fence. Don’t want to turn him to drink. 🍻

Nice thread and thanks to all of you track-watchers, Trac watchers, Claz watchers and others. We would all like to get to training more regularly, but sometimes, as Shano and others have found out, [censored] can get in the way. I almost turned off a page or so ago, but I’m glad I saw it through. As others have said, I feel that Trac really has a fire in the belly. But not only that. Several others including Clarrie also appear to be really fired up. And there is a genuine closeness again in the group. Great to see so few in the recovery group. It feels like a good omen for the year ahead.

Yeah nah. Don’t think that will happen. I swear I saw a couple players melt last year on one of the hotter days. Asked somebody about it, but they said it was sublime.

Crikey! This is a bit of an early start even if it is a bit warm.

Gold!

Filth would be filthy at that amount of travel.

I was just glad that people were concentrating on positive role models rather than simply asking him to stand up straight. I think he can be a very handy player. Anything beyond that is a bonus.

So at this stage we’ll be happy if Jeffo is some Hudson, Ablett, Kennedy hybrid? 😀 No pressure.

Thought he’s been a bit quiet 🤔 …still no excuse.

Has anyone seen AJ practicing ruck craft with Max, Tom & Will yet? He doesn’t look big enough to me, but I’ll look at some of his games tonight.
