Having spoken to King in the pre-season, Culley is certainly a live ruck option. They are still figuring out how the new ruck rules will impact the game, and it will be a week by week proposition, depending on the opposition setups

Culley will be used as a second Ruck around the ground, should he play.

“Bruce - an unlikely hero…the rookie…THE ROOKIE”

so Culley not best 23?

With the last touch rules, boundary throw ins are going to be few and far between, except inside the arcs. I hope that's not the justification. I agree though - Kentfield was excellent last week and should be given the rd 1 spot

was about to head down but have been told it's all over. was it a shorter sessionthan usual? Just a captain's run?

Should not even be in contention for Rd 1-5. He lacks competative hunger for the contest. Has shown little in matches to suggest otherwise. Training at a high level VS competing in games are very different. It was an underwhelming performance from Jeffo and Kentfield should plenty more

That logo actually looks ok on the jumper. The Penrite one is very 'clashy' tho

Do we have deputy captains? Is there a reason they haven’t announced ?

I'll take the rose coloured glasses off for you. I've been to almost every summer session at Gosch's. McAdam may have talent, but his application to elite training standards is as bad as I have seen at our club. Sorry Ghosty, but if you are being honest, despite him being a nice guy, he treats training as a bit of fun with the boys. Hardly does anything with purpose. Jokes and laughs around when he makes errors. Goes through the motions most of the time. I really don't think he is anywhere near AFL ready this season. I will be happy to be proven wrong, and it's just an observation/opinion.

Outside mid. Will have kozzy, Langford, Steele, Culley to do the inside work. He will be on the outside. That’s modern footy. Not Goodwin running three inside mids and making the game a Friday with contested possession. The game has moved past that. That’s why we sucked for 3 years

If you'd seen his preseason work, and his limited work in the midfield at the end of last year, you'd realise that is a terrible take on Windsor

Always will have a soft spot for Harmesy. That kick in the GF was incredible and set us away on a bairnstorming comeback. He always gave his all for us. Sometimes limited by his skills, but couldn't fault his effort. Hope the Nut is doing OK.

When is the official Penrite Injury Update our?

Well done on putting this together. I got a Stone Roses - Fools Gold vibe in the opening, which was short lived and then felt like you'd taken us to Revolver at 3am. I think the lyrics need to be more pronounced. It doesn't appeal to me. It doesn't really feel contemporary at all. Kind of lacks flow and wouldn't really rev up a crowd imho. Respect the effort though

I saw chandler injure his calf on Wednesday. I reckon he has pulled up sore.

Matty Scarlett is here today.

Anyone spotted Rivers? I can’t see him in any of the groups

Which boss? The coach ?

Anyone know who is running laps with Miochek? No number

McAdam had joined the rehab

Miochek, Hendo, Viney and Melky straight to rehab group. All in runners

Gawn will be playing Rd 1, barring any other injury. Miochek is on a load rehab and is running. If his toe was an issue there’d by no ‘loading’ on it. Viney is 50/50 to play Rd 1 based on his history with overcoming injury. Whilst there are some injuries to a few players, I’m glad it’s not guys Like Windsor, Langford, Xavier Taylor, Turner, Picketts. They are the players that will determine how we go in 2026. Aside from Bowey, none of the others were in our best 23, aside from those outlined above and AMW, who replaces Bowey

Any info re: Miochek. Have we drafted an injury prone lemon? People suggested on the Monday thread that he had been doing heaps of training pre Xmas. However, I was at sessions before the break and he was restricted then to cross training. What is the issue?

I was referring to posters on here…not the man himself
