Training For 2023
- Thread starter caesar
- Start date
With the absolute 0 info i have, if Cumbo is known to put a bit of Mayo on things then Miller could see right through it is how i read that situation.Summer training, 10 degrees felt like 6 degrees, rain coming in sideways, visibility poor and the ball a cake of soap, spent the whole session dodging the rain, (very unpleasant

Absent or rehab today:
Pickett: (Hasn't been spotted by me at least since the boys have returned so i am hoping it just a case of club allowing him more time in WA with his family seeing he has supposedly been working hard over there in the break? All speculation on my part i have no idea why he is not here).
Shai & Tarranto.
Tom Lynch & Colina only made a brief appearance and then there is Jack Graham who in injury update it mentions he has had toe surgery so walked a couple of laps but we won't see him till January and then probably only some running.
Nank was in rehab but he has been back working hard from day 1 with 1-4 year players so doubt there is an issue there.
The Good News :
Sonz & Banks, (who had some hip surgery in off season), are back in pretty much full training and both topped off their session with some commited lap running. Just on Sonz, i was suprised in the first lot of shuttles which included all comers, (bar the big men who did their own), he came 2nd to KMac
Tylar Young & Seth Cambell were best of the new arrivals Young impressive again and Seth very clean in wet & slippery conditions and spotting up forward targets.
DRioli : Loved the way he finished his session solo with repeated up and back 50 metre shuttles to exhaustion. It is strange that in shuttles he finishes at the back of the pack but on game day he seems an aerobic beast, expect to see more of the same from him in 2023
Star of the session:
Probably Cumber's, just a constant presence and was pinging goals from everywhere with that awkward kicking action of his, although early in the session i thought Miller may have done him some damage in ground ball work. This drill is where a couple of players had the impact bags and banging players as they gather and give off ground balls, Cumberland slipped and Miller, (i think in fun), smashed the bag into his head 3 times whilst he was down. Noah got up holding his head, working his neck and walked away from the drill briefly to a medic but then resumed. For a tough guy he does seem to exaggerate the extent of what seem to be injuries only to miraculously return. The thing is Miller saw that he was hurt? but didn't even give him a second thought or check on his health afterwards, hopefully that means Miller is finding some mongrel
The Old Firm:
Prestia & Tarrant looking in tip top shape.
Cotch JR8 & Vlaustin showed they were not immune from hard work and completed session with 4 x full ground runs just the three of them.
Cheers all, still thawing out at home.
Virtually no contact as a punter plus he is wearing a helmet
I know you like bagging him but his issues with concussion were very serious
I'm not bagging him. I want a statue.
It was his decision to retire that droves us to a flag
You are certainly the king of dumb comments, well done.
If he didn't retire Hardwick wouldve persisted with him and Riewoldt
43 years and still no flag.
His decision to retire forced Hardwick to change the forward line and virtually the game style to fast, keep the ball in play all the time.

But as a kicker. They pretty much don’t get tackled. Or tackle anyone themselves. When Darren Bennett was playing for San Diego as a kicker, he did what would have been a reflex thing in our game and tackled a receiver trying to get to the touchdown line. The U.S went into shock, it was just about front page news and was constantly on the news show. He was nicknamed the “Mad Aussie”… Because he was risking damage to his kicking leg. I always thought he was a bit of a pea heart when he was playing AFL. They thought he was insane. Funny people the yanks.
He didn't retire until after we won the flag. He played in the 2017 VFL grand final.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
The only fact is as soon he stopped playing senior football we started winning and then winning the flag.
That easily can be taken out of context. Who says the media team didn’t capture one moment where a joke was shared and he had a laugh. Did it mean he was laughing and having a great time for the full day he was out there?
Don’t read so much into a media clip
Not everyone just quits their job despite not enjoying it.
What’s your source?
Nah, he played the 1st 2 games of 2017- we won them both.
Elton then played rds 3-5- we won all 3.
The 1st time we played with just Jack and the smalls was Adelaide in rd 6. We lost by 76 points.
At the back end of the season Soldo played alongside Nank in 5 games- we won 4. Soldo came into the side the week after we were thrashed by the Saints.
