Training For Redemption in 2022

Any chance we can get the great Shaq at PRO soon enough? Love those Pointsbet ads and his humour.

You guys must have forgotten what *smile* our whipping boys copped when we were crap. George, as what must be our #1 whipping boy, is getting off lightly compared to them.
Jay *smile* comes to mind..........
 
Great report as always Caesar. Is the whole list still training or only those in contention for a game ?

Yep whole list required for match sim drills plus those vying for spots will be looking to impress.

He has a history of what looked like lower leg injuries that at the time looked fairly serious.
I’ve seen at least 3 games at VFL level where he’s hobbled off the ground in a bad way and looked ready for amputation only to resurface the very next week and gets in the bests.

Yeah - in that way, Cumberland really reminds me of Jack Riewoldt early on in the VFL and AFL

By year 3 I stopped worrying whenever Jack looked like he needed an amputation

By year 5 he would "hide" everything with a mild grimace (but he'd still show it enough to communicate to everyone non-verbally that it hurt)

By the time we were winning and he was sure of himself as a dual coleman medallist, he became a terminator who never showed physical weakness on the field... hopefully Cumberland takes a similar path as he grows into his skin as a star forward.

One of the few times pre 2019 that he had to spend multiple weeks out was when Chol poked him in the eye at training. Another example of a fringie injuring a regular 22 player.

*smile* Cumberland just been carried to boundary line leg collision with Mansell
Hobbling to bench under own steam now players went to him performance guys went to him and has now gone inside.
Think it was shin to shin both came up limping but Mansell continued on
Any news on “smiles” condition- just a knock?

Full Dusty report please. Is he going at 100% or holding back? Blowing hard or aerobically fit? Sharp skills or rusty and a little fumbly?
