JVR looking big and lean. Checkers doing exactly what we would have hoped for. Great news all round.

With the long term injury of Viney, can we get another player, like they did with Henderson? Can’t recall the term for it.

What’s the go with Salem and CJ?

Tbh that’s pretty great as for injury outcomes. Also pretty amazing how far technology and medicine has come.

Hopefully he’s in surgery by Monday at the latest and then has a quick recovery. They mentioned a couple weeks, my guess would be closer to four to six. Hopefully it’s a break but just a hairline so it’s quicker.

Ah, makes sense. Wonder when he copped it, if he should have gone under the knife straight away to maybe have a chance. Sounds like he won’t play a game. Hope I am wrong.

Can they not do a surgery to get Viney going? Or is it too late?

Don’t be offended on his behalf.. This isn’t about him, it’s about the trade going balls up. No one’s called him a [censored] bloke or anything similar. It’s a shame what’s happened to him but it’s worse on us what could have been but hasn’t.

I’d love to know what medicals they did with him, he’s played so few games in total in his career. They would have known just how bad his body was, and if they did, it still makes me ponder why he got a three year deal.

Didn’t really ever begin, he’s always been injured. I think he’s in the 40’s for games played

Side conversation - apparently Geelong likely to get Butters.

What’s going on with May?

Sounds familiar!

Has there been any more BBQ’s or walks on the tan, yet?

Unsure - however it doesn’t change that I’d still take a packet of smiths chips over Petty.

Surely someone with no money concerns can pucker up for the rest of us 😂

Unsure of why - but archive.md works if you put in the URL. It’s not working for me right now as I type for unknown reasons Will bypass the paywall.

It’s not a popular opinion but fully agree. I think he’s a seconds player at best. I’d prefer any of our other defenders before him.

I’ve always thought that Petty was a better forward than backman. If it was up to me, should have traded him when Adelaide were going to throw the world at him. I think he struggles anywhere on the field and really needs to hit the gym. He’s always being out muscled.

When’s the next training and first practice match?
