PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 11 December 2024
Thanks to all for their reports What is up with Sestan being in rehab? I like the sound of what he offers (though I have never seen him) but his presumed position is getting very crowded and he surely must make a debut in 2025, and a decent one at that, if he is ever going to make the grade and remain on the list. I guess he was a low risk high ceiling sort of pick anyway.

š® didnāt know they had one. Amazing what modern technology can achieve way beyond IVF. Will he be a FS Cat or Demon.

As long as he kicks bags of sausage rolls I donāt care what he eats. He an TMcD can share a wooly mammoth for dinner. Sounds as if he could be a Pedersen clone perhaps.

As long as there are not too many clangers.

Surely you meant the olā 5-13? So when Harleyās contract ends and he pleads to trade to the dominant Demons, will that cause a conflict? š¤

Thanks all Can we afford to be confident re KW34 and CP5? Sound reasonably positive.

The Roy George Thread
There was at some stage a suggestion that Shane McAdam may decide to retire. Havenāt heard anything about that for a while. Not saying that he should, but IF he did then I would hope it wouldnāt be anything like Angusā forced retirement after list finalisation.

Grandson of a gun
Were he a grandson of a Cat, a Magpie or a Blue there may suddenly be a new rule - grandson of a player >250 games.

Fidnig a god prof raedre cna b quiet dificlut soemtmies Wait for the HS report that 31 has checked out, cleared his locker and headed to Geelong or Colonwood. at least Verrall wasnāt described as laconic. Good call. .. for what? Maybe a parasol would be a better choice.

The Kalani White Thread
ā¦. I guess they will figure āwhy canāt we have them all?ā Expect a one off rule change š” If possible, they looked even worse in those beige pajamas. Seriously, in either of these, how could anyone sing with any heart or commitment, āwe are the navy bluesā? How about 70,000 friends.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 2nd December 2024
Clayton has played far less time as a forward than has Tracc, so expect fewer goals. Or are you maybe suggesting cause v effect? Spargo may feel he could be fit for round 1, but given the others vying for his spot (whatever that may actually be) he may have to wait.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 2nd December 2024
fr_ap - exactly what I was thinking. We have a young gun on a wing, touted by some as Tulip#2, so why not continue his development there? I think poor Spargo would be happy to be playing at all - sadly he does look like he could be someone who injury has set him back too far, with others streaming past.š¢

Not before time IMO disastrous? If he is really that good stand by for a one off rule change by AFL HQ

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 2nd December 2024
Sure depth is vital, but come September, late September in particular, IF all are fit there will be some terrible disappointments all around. It happens, and overall would be a great problem to have.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 2nd December 2024
Looking forward to the headline in the HS reporting the huge rift in the Magpies camp. Only one turned up to training. If Max is in the smaller group there must be some massive newbie that have shown up. Clarry behind Billings is a worry (though later reports sound better)

Forward line fix?
Surely as well as quick decisive movement into the F50, delivery to moving targets (or into space ahead of moving targets) instead of to the tops of the heads of a stagnant pack of talls and smalls who want to take speccies is needed. Movement to create space behind even if you know the ball wonāt necessarily come your way is positive team work. If you always do what youāve always done, you will always get what you always got. And that hasnāt worked over the past three seasons. So ā¦.?

And we shouldnāt forget that Max also needs a competitive ruckman at training and in preparation. Donāt underestimate the value Majak Daw added to our 2021 list despite never playing a senior game - he helped make Max better. I believe that I even read somewhere that Max said as much.

Defensive forward - ANBās replacement?
Cant see, currently, that he has the tank of ANB, but then few have. Chin may be close. ā

WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?
Wentworth too is just about Victoria - so 3 of the 6 NSW are borderline Vics. Zero Tasmanians is a huge anomaly historically - if repeated the 19th team will be filled with āgo home soonā players.
