Training For 2023
- Thread starter caesar
- Start date
I think Jack will struggle to force his way into the side (and it was obvious that he knew that) and Georgie's papers are well and truly stamped - we have a plethora of young small forwards ahead of him.
Graham needs the biggest preseason ever.
Got back doored by Port We have picked up 2 quality mids.
The toe injury hopefully dosent derail his season

not doubting your source but I find this hard to believe given his apparent involvement in recruiting hopper and taranto...
Certainly looks positively engaged at training , encouraging that hes at training from the get go and is looking super fit , dropped a keg or two from what I see
seriously Zippaddee concussion issues is not something to make fun of
Yeah.. even did half the pre season for 2018 before he pulled the pin which caused a bit of a stir at the time.
Could just about use the same report with the weather we had today mateSummer 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.
Tony Braxton-Hicks
There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Have had internet issues all day 3 hours on the phone so report will be brief.All of PRE waiting in great anticipation
Got told Marlion will be back after Christmas.
I asked Lambo about Tylar Young, he said "Only been playing footy for 4 years, will work well with Truck, a Tarrant type with more speed" he was impressive today again.
I am going to say it, Cumbers is FLYING!
Junior showing a bit of spark today.
Now they are getting into more football oriented work Tom Brown is looking good with the proviso i said the same last year.
A lot more contested and scrimmage work today.
Nank all good and back in the fold.
Rehab:
Lynch not doing a real lot except for an hour of run-through's.
Tarranto who was absent last Thursday and in rehab today but was doing a lot of running.
PRE regulars will notice that there is the lack of my usual Shai love and that is because he hasn't been there
, (absence makes the heart grow fonder I guess).That's it, all i can remember, this morning was so long ago.
Cheers
