Training For 2023

Hope she is OK Julius, and hoping she did not break anything.
This little black duck will be out of here for a few days.
Into hospital on Thursday to have a melanoma removed.
Lucky I have a superb plastic surgeon to do the skin graft.
No fun getting old as Caesar's mum will attest
Good luck with your surgery graystar.

Boring… surely he could’ve organized to come on a day when we were doing match sim? Heard plenty from him about other Vic clubs pre seasons and this is all we get. Personally enjoy his insights so would’ve been interesting to see his thoughts on us during a match sim

Very Healthy Group??

I have my doubts about that statement and all the positivity and claims in the Jon Raph article also.

Obviously i missed the week of camp and today's training so I might be behind the times? but I have mentioned other possible issue's previously although nothing mentioned by club or media, except they confirmed the Kaleb Smith injury.

Maybe there is a reason why we have not had an official injury update on the club website since the 16 Jan? or maybe there isn't.

This is an update on the AFL website. Graham on track for round 1 too. No mention of Sonsie so hopefully just some management happening there as well. I agree though, it is strange we haven’t had any official recent injury updates. And we kept the Lynch foot injury under wraps until the last day of preseason training in December!

I saw Graham speak to medico's on several sessions before camp and then going inside without doing anything so I have cause for doubt.

I reported Prestia was in rehab Pre-Camp and had missed a couple of the match-sim games and the report above say's he was in re-hab again today but just managing him :unsure:

I mentioned in a post that I did not see Grimes participate in the last 10 minutes of the match-sim i witnessed on the Monday they headed off to camp and a week later it is reported above that he is re-hab but only management:unsure:.

We do know their history so I will wait to see for myself.

Sonsie whilst he has had a pre-season of sorts I did report prior to camp that he had missed a couple of sessions and match sims.

Shorty has only just re-joined the main group having been in re-hab since they returned in January but was not mentioned in injury dispatches at all. Hopefully he is up to joining match sim?

Lynch yet to join main group with season fast approaching.

These are all questions that i need answered.

Yep I feel we might not be have been openly transparent about our current injuries throughout this pre season. We’re usually pretty good in-season, but seems we’ve kept some secrets this off season

Haven’t heard one thing about Dow from anyone. Not sure if that’s a good thing or bad thing. Prob bad I would’ve thought.

In the match sim I saw he was playing mid for the possibles. I recall the sane from other reports. Up against Hopper and co who were slaying it.
Nothing stands out, at least he's getting exposure against the best
