I strongly believe he will be back well before 10 weeks time.Looks if he could join main group soon.Did ruck work against Jamar & Fitzy today

Sometimes a break from the workplace is the best recipe. When, a player cannot train, sometimes depression may set in,IMO.Therefore, if the club has sent him home for a while,they know what they are doing. Another player.Leigh Williams was excited today, as he said he was hopeful of regaining training with the main lot.He said that he only had trained with the group for about a week or so.and thank God, he got picked up from that.Another rookie, Jai Sheahan. ,has caught Gawny latest - grown a beard as well.Another, whom, I noticed,Taggart -is a very good build whom looked sharp- club has high hopes for him.

Just IMO- seems to light against the main midfield group,re Maloney,Magner,Couch,Jones etc..may play on a wing, but up against it. Bate seems to have taken his spot for now.One other whom impressed me, that I forgot was Strauss.

He only ran laps and didn't join the main group. I was told this IRON MAN is still a week or two away. But don't forget last year, he didn't play any games either as I recall.

Yep- also trained impressively and will play this week -at least for a half IMO.

Training commenced around 9.50 am today, running laps and doing the same sort of drills that has been reported over the last few weeks.It finished around 11.55 am. There was an air of excitement there today, both from a confidence boost after last Saturday and Ron Barassi was there.Ron was doing some training due to Sixty Minutes doing a doco on the great man to be shown later in the year. He seems to have a great rapport with the new football department and in particular Neil Craig.(age may be a factor though).He said to me that he had never ever seen so many coaches in his lifetime coaching at the same time (reference to our coaching panel). Ron mixed with the crowd and had a photo shot with a class of school children who were at training for the event. Missing were Liam Jurrah and Michael Evans. I'm told both were back home .Jurrah, we all know ,whilst Evans was given a break to go home for a week or two.Max Gawn showed his face for a few minutes. All others were there as far as I could see. Luke Tapscott, Jack Grimes, Leigh Williams and Jake Spencer were the only ones I noticed who did not do full match day rehearsal. Grimes and Williams are expected to join next week,Tappy a couple of weeks away whilst Pencil looks great and is not far way as well. Ricky Petterd and Jared Rivers left early, both looking sore. I spoke to Ricky and he said he had mild concussion from last Saturday and had a few sore spots but would play this week. Nathan Jones left a few minutes after these two and said he would probably play a this week.Grimes, is busting to play. Trenners is really excited to strip this week also. Players who caught my eye at training were Josh Tynan, seems to read he play brilliantly, Davis, hard nut who also reads the play very well and Kelvin Lawrence. I wouldn't be surprised , based on training today that he strips this week. However, the real star was Jack Viney who could play now and be a sensational star, straight up. If you have any questions, I'll try to answer you. GO DEES.

Thanks for update.

as an interested party, what does this mean this year, one earnt if granted a free kick, one against if a free was awarded against you.What happens this year? Please advise.

Hey you are the winner of last year- you never give up. Your the champ.

Loved the statement,--- we couldn't believe our luck when he slid to #309. Make me an offer.What's this we, get help did ya...? Didn;t think you would need any- I can assure you, I picked my team solo.

Thanks for everything JA,although system crashed and I missed some picks,that's life. Look forward to a great season.

System has crashed- stick with it, JA will advise us.

Bring it on and sincere thanks for all you have done- can't please us all, all of the time..

With Jack Viney entering the fray next year Prestia wouldn't get a game.We won't be able to fit in all of our midfielders now that are currently on the list,IMO..

Fair enough- would do the same

Great to reaquaint brotherly love ! A little birdy has told me, he thinks the two new chums are brothers- Is this correct? Please advise.

Agree Nd thanks for pointing this out.JA, support all moves you suggest.

Great pity that Taggart is injured.He would have played first round. Gives the opportunity for Magner, Couch and Nicholson to fit out spots.

Sponsoring Collingwood now ,I see.

Yes- we will win that one.

this thread really shows how impatient we really are,doesn't it.

When do you leave-Just returned- spent 6 weeks there.

Thanks for your thought.I just may leave him for you -Dan. Might even go for my first pick last year- Jolly

Good summation, we just have to wait for Pringle or others to comment further.Rotten luck all the same.

This is the largest inhury list at this pertinant time that I can remember. Especially with back related injuries. Maybe the weights have got to some of the lads.Evans was training early, running laps etc.. Jurrah's injury not worrying me-he cannot sustain a long football season anyhow- so to be right in a few weeks suits him.Agree with Redleg- Evans is the one that concerns me- thought he could be a carrier of the ball.Hope he recovers shortly and shows his wares.
