Summer Blease

Match fitness is obtained through playing matches. The injury timeline; the "X" quantity, represents the amount of weeks the player won't be expected to be playing. Once a player is in a position to be able to train etc to his full capacity he is deemed no longer injured, hence the "X" coefficient has been served. In saying that, the 10-12 week timeframe is the estimation of when Chippa will be able to "pull his boots" back on again. Getting match fitness back is another story. Some players get it through the VFL. Being a FB and not a midfielder it could be argued Frawls could obtain his again through playing in the big leagues.

It is my understanding that when a star gets injured and is reported out for "x" amount of weeks, that number is indicative of weeks from injury to resumption of duties and includes any subsequent rehab they will require. Acquisition of match fitness is usually done through the VFL or sometimes AFL if the player in question is good enough. And it goes without saying we will not risk bringing him in too early. No matter how dire the situation is in the backline (hopefully not) there are other ways to plug a hole then to risk the welfare and longevity of one of our most promising players.

Thanks for all the reports guys, really impressive from all of you. WJ... you should take more time off work- we appreciate your efforts more than "the man" does

Whoever does take "Chip the gorrila keeper's" place will be under pressure from whoever doesn't get the nod (I am pressuming it is a choice out of Warnock and Martin for the proper FB position) and also the likely candidate will be under pressure to keep their place in the team outright from the impending return of Frawley himself. Needless to say there is a lot of pressure to perform, so the motivation is there. At least we have an opportunity to see if our perceived defence depth is worth its salt. I've had my little hissy fit over Frawl's injury- broke a couple of pencils in my room- now I actually look forward to seeing how we deal with this. Pressure coming for spots from all areas of the field will hopefully see improved team performance and hopefully less reliance on a dominant backline. Bring it on!

Anyone care to make any predictions? UFC 126 coming up, what a card, wish this was 127 in Sydney! Silva V Belfort Griffin V Franklin Jones V Bader I'm going for Silva because he is Silva, Franklin over Griffin due to experience and superior stand-up and Jones over Bader because I feel he is the most dynamic and explosive fighter going around. Will all be close matches though. Tough to call! In other news; Couture is taking on Machida at UFC 129 (will lose because Machida is actually good, as apose to Couture's recent opponents) UFC 130 sees the third rematch between Edgar and Maynard, Thiago Silva V Rampage Jackson (holly [censored]) Mir V Nelson and Alves V Story talk about stacked!!! Brock Lesnar and Junior Dos Santos are kicking off at UFC 131- Apparently they are the next coaches on the next series of TUF!!! Which also means the next series of TUF is going to be the heavy weights again!! This sport just gets better! Carwin to fight at 131 also.

Tapscott, Blease- are we going to see some NAB cup action? Is Tapscott training with the main group now? How are Martin & Warnock travelling? Excited about Scully, I mean it was obvious from the first time we saw him play he was destined for greatness, but by golly gosh he never fails to impress. How does one put money on him now for a future Charlie? I'm not a betting man, but I will take that punt.

Well taking a positive from a bad situation this gives us a chance to actually test our depth in defence. There is a spot available for whoever can stand up- maybe a chance for Martin to give it a crack. From all reports he is doing well in training.

He's suspended?! This place lacks a certain something without him. That's a shame! Wonder who he upset hahah. Anyone else having troubles getting into Demonland through Firefox? Explorer runs fine, I still get the error msg with Firefox.

Does a girl have the capacity to incite excitement in a call though? A memorable specie/tackle/goal, whatever kind of play requires a big roar of a call, not a shrill scream. I just can't see a female commentator ever doing it for me. If that is seen as sexist, so be it. Just keeping it real.

Yeah, this could have been so much worse! 12 weeks from now takes us to 15th April. We play Gold Coast on April 17th, with a round 5 bye coming the week after. A conservative approach would see Frawley back on April 28th for an away trip to play West Coast- with Frawley missing a total of 4 games only (2 of which are against a Fevless Brisbane at the G and the new kids GC away, so pressumably easy wins). If we played it even safer- a round 7 return against Adelaid at the MCG could be on the cards- that would be a conservative approach of a May 8th return, more than 15 weeks rehabilitation and missing only 6 games. It does suck that we always get these injuries, but it will give us a good chance to see how we can cover for him in the backline. Also gives Warnock or Martin a chance to step up, hopefully everyone will be covering for Frawls and his absense isn't noticed too much. Who do we think is going to step up in his absence? A joint effort? A knight in shining armour perhaps?

Can you erase yesterdays training session where Frawley got injure also? That would be nice. Where the f is e25 been lately btw?

How is one supposed to sleep now? I am [censored] myself. Any mention of MFCSS and I will literally spew and throw my laptop into the wall. The club making a "statement" sounds ominous indeed. Tweet us or something. [censored]!

Only just finished watching then. Wow, what an event- best event for a long time!! I wouldn't have liked to score that fight but I tend to agree with the tie. Maynard definitely won the first 10-8, could even be argued 10-7.. Edgar took the second, third may have been a tie- give the edge to Edgar 4th and 5th, but my golly gosh it was a close call. Look at it this way- if Maynard didn't smash him in the first it would have been a decision to Edgar. Edgar with more takedowns and submission attempts all round. What a fight! Edgar tank saved him, must be frustrating to fight a guy who is always on the balls of his toes- Which leads us to Guida... hahaha I have never seen movement like that. He didn't want to just stand there and trade with Gomi and I don't blame him- for a guy who usually defends with his chin he didn't want to trade with him- respects the power. Kudos to him for actually finishing the fight like he predicted. Agree with Silva. What an animal- that guy is scary. I also used to like Vera but he can't fight off his back to save his face- last two fights, two visits to the surgeons- Jon Bones Jones cracked his orbital (Will never forget that one) now Silva literally [censored] slapped him into next century. His nose was a sight for sore eyes after that one- vicious break. I think he is done. I respect his standup but you need an all-round game to mix it with the big boys, and that he aint got. Who is Thiago's next opponent? Winner of Bones Jones and Bader? Either way it is going to be insane- (UFC 126 btw- Franklin/Griffen Jon Jones/Bader SILVA/BELFORD what a card!!!) Agree- Crispi would have got owned by Aldo, Poirier very impressive standup, Crispi has some heart- not the best standup. And Stan- wow... I think we have a serious contender here... Can't wait for 126- brilliant card.... Bring on 127 in Sydney.. needing to see this [censored] live please!!

It is about having fast twitch muscle fibres, or something like that.

I have never heard of Dorothy Dix either. I thought you were having a go at rpfc- she is in the Aussie vernacular? Really? I swear to god I went to a sh*t school!!

Hahahaha your next door neighbour is a douchbag. A "deeluded" fool, it must be said.

Wow, really goes to show how important it is having the "flashy" types at your club also. Wonder how many youngsters we can convert with Jurrah, Howe and Scully et al at the helm. We have an exciting team to watch. Happy times ahead. FWIW by the time I have a kid Billie Stretch will probably be in his prime.

Court order Shmourt order; if, and that is a big "if" she has more photos they will get out eventually. She seems to have a legion of deluded supporters- one way or another they will get out. If we don't see them soon I call b*llshit.

I don't see why it would, we enjoyed it when we were young. The message of "happy happy joy joy" is still prevalant today.

I have come to the conclusion that all our marketing endeavours from here on out are going to be targeted to a younger audience- and they should be. The youth represents our future membership base and these are the minds which are impressionable.

I have now seen the pics. Hoorah. What an unfortunate set of circumstances. What the hell was going through their big heads? I think SG needs some help too! And NR, I have heard of manscaping but that is a closer shave than a Gillette MACH 3 FFS.

Anyone want to PM me the link to these pics? I must be the only person in Australia who hasn't seen them yet. Yes that's right, I am publicly asking to view man penis. In any case this girl is an attention seeking vengeful piece of work who is using every form of social networking medium there is to extract her "revenge"/get herself 15 minutes of fame and it just stinks. It is troubling to think that any mentally unstable (and if you have watched DA's link you would understand) person with a computer and Internet access can cause this much mayhem so quickly and easily. WTF is with these stupid footballers also? Why can't they just play their sport, be good role models and NOT take naked photos? If you are in the public eye, don't do anything you don't want them to see. So simple.

It's Megan Fox (the d*ck tease from Transformers) WYL... Hahah Consueala and her Lemon Pledge... gets me every time!

Not yet, a couple of beers and some redtube should do the trick..

I ah, need to find more important things to do with my time...
