Cholly's nothing but X-factor. Questions should be based on why he left the Huns especially now as they are all media-pumped and expected to be great under Dimma.

2024 Training With The Ooze Crew
- Thread starter tommystigers
- Start date
From what I've seen of Kosi at the Dorks, he looks impressive and maybe the Dorks are tone deaf considering his hint on saying he wanted to play with someone like Lynch who could be a great mentor, which the Dorks never had or bothered to do.
I were expecting a little more dominance in certain areas from Samson in match sim today such as at least breaking even with Nank in centre bounces and maybe a couple of contested marks forward, he was ok at stages but would have liked to see more.

Looked great and a left footer to boot!
Thanks again for your report Cesar. Lefau not there. Any news on him?
Because of the lack of defenders, even though I listed Lefau in the forward line, they started him in defence for the first half before moving him forward later, laid a few tackles and a couple of possessions when he came further up the ground , not his best hit-out .
As injury replacement for Sun's KPF King, Chol was good enough. He lost his spot with a full list of KPF.
KPF Injury at HFC will benefit Chol. He mainly got used by us as ruck replacement which is not his forte. He had no ruck duties at the Sun's.
I'm happy with a Kosi type. The opposite of Chol.
I hardly get to see the Hawks play but I do like Kosi highlights
Go Justin!
”RICHMOND
Justin Martin (ankle): Took some steps back into training on Wednesday after being sent off to the rehab group after a minor ankle tweak. Should recover in time to face Collingwood.
Tom Lynch (foot): Unlikely for pre-season matches but the big forward has been running on grass and is still hopeful of playing in opening round.
Josh Gibcus (hamstring): The youngster has lifted to be included in almost all of training after a slow build to nurse through his worrisome hamstring. Should be cherry ripe for some pre-season action.
Jack Ross (toe): Off-season toe surgery has put the brakes on the winger’s pre-season, he is still building up fitness so is touch and go for a pre-season meeting with Collingwood.
SHAI BOLTON (ANKLE): NO WORRIES FOR BOLTON, HE HAD ANKLE SURGERY POST-SEASON BUT IS BACK IN FULL TRAINING.
DYLAN GRIMES (CALF): THE VETERAN IS TAKING IT EASY AND AMONG THE REHAB GROUP AT THE TIGERS BUT CLUB CEO BRENDON GALE RECKONS HE WILL PLAY IN OPENING ROUND. WHETHER HE FACES COLLINGWOOD ON FEBRUARY 27 IS YET TO BE SEEN.”

He lost his spot to casboult last year. That doesn’t say much for Chol..
Was mentioned on the news as using the concept of camels being able to perform and thrive under the most difficult n harshest conditions as a motivational symbol for the players.
Much prefer the concept of thirsty camel or perhaps hump day as a motivational tool myself.
Dildoro has called the club inquired about Justin looking to sign him in mid season draft
Chol, Kosi both lost their spots. Casboult plays a good role for the Sun's. They often have 3 KPFs
I don't mind Kosi in for 3 years. He has had some good years but, now out of favour.
Modern 2nd KPF just have to kick a goal a game.
Chol on 5 years is crazy. Maybe heavily front ended
I'm not sure what Hawthorn was supposed to do, just go out and get a Lynch. If it was as easy as that every club would do it. Nor does having a Lynch as mentor guarantee success as a forward as Miller, Bradtke and even our Chol clearly demonstrates. Anyhow I'm sure he had forward coaches those five years at Hawthorn, but mediocrity like class can often be permanent.
So yeah from what I saw of him at Hawthorn he is lucky to be on an AFL list. However, for what it's worth I supported trading him in for a rubbish pick. Our KPF drafting has been criminally neglected and we were desperate. If he can crash some packs and play a role until we get someone better that's good list management. But not going to pretend he is something different here than what he was at Hawthorn unless he actually proves it playing for the club. Hope for the best but don't expect much.
Upcoming Open Match Sim:
Someone asked me when training was on this week as they were coming to Melbourne but I can't find who that was.
**Anyway, new time for Wednesday Match Sim - Open Session is 4:30pm to Approx 6:30pm

Miller was a defender but has done alright IMO so far. Chol is no KPF and Bradtke not even worth a mention. None compare to a KPF. He is 23 years old and just on 50 games. Worth a look at what he can become when seasoned and more experienced. I had doubts on Grigg when we got him, but he came good through age and experience.
Yep and Kosi has already shown a more physical edge than Miller. If he can get the ball to ground, crash packs and create spillages, that’s a good outcome and what we sorely missed alongside Jack last year (we had Pickett in that role
). Bonus if he clunks contested marks and kicks more than a goal/ goal and a half a game I reckon
Anything over 25 goals is a great result for Kosi.Yep and Kosi has already shown a more physical edge than Miller. If he can get the ball to ground, crash packs and create spillages, that’s a good outcome and what we sorely missed alongside Jack last year (we had Pickett in that role
