Training For Redemption in 2022
- Thread starter caesar
- Start date
There are injuries, and then there are injuries......Dusty didn't get injured in 2019 & 2020.
we will say 50-50 as not to upset the AFL too much for using a sub to get Ross on for some minutes.
I were not going to post as not main session and some players missing or being managed but seeing you asked Dion not out there at all.
Marlion doing his paces in rehab but moving alright.
Gibcus and Riewoldt in rehab being managed I would say.
Tigga and Lambert not there I assume being managed?
Hugo & Dow trained fully.
Dusty putting in the hard yards with some conditioning laps thrown in as well.
Nice one cheers mate. Never know when main training is...
Do you always go? Where do you sit to watch?
I was about to get up and go to the office kitchen ,
... cant know , got a hard on hearing about Dusty
Pretty much always go, no sitting just stand on the footpath on Punt Road peering through the fence.
Main training generally 10:30am 2 days prior to game day so will be Thursday this week.
"Oh look there's Mr Pervert again...."
Do you get any horn-beeping at times Julius? I noticed a few when I did this years ago.
Surely by now the club would let you in!
So according to Peter Burge:
Pilot medical update: Martin, Prestia, Pickett, Ralphsmith, Dow

"Dion had a couple of things going on the other night. There was a bit of an issue with his ankle and his Achilles and his lower calf as well, obviously all linked. Halfway through the game, he reported this to our medical team and we made the decision to sub him out of the game. And he's actually crook today (Tuesday), he's at home, so we haven't had a chance to look at him on the track. We have our main training session this week on Thursday so we'll assess him then to see where he's at, see if he can do some running or participate in any skill work, so we'll have an update after training on Thursday."
Dustin Martin, personal leave
"Dustin's been training with us now for a week and a half. Last Friday, he completed quite a big session out here with the other guys who didn't have a game last week and he did a huge workload in terms of total kilometres, some intensity, some handball games, match simulation type training. And he's trained today with us as well. He's looking really good to potentially be available for selection this week. We've got another main session on Thursday and all being great in that, then I'd anticipate he would be up for selection."
Marlion Pickett, hamstring/personal leave
"Marlion had a bit of a hamstring issue after the Adelaide Crows game which was two weeks ago, which had settled reasonably well. Then Marlion also took some personal time and got back to Perth last week, he hadn't been back in Perth since late 2020 with all the restrictions. He didn't play in the game last week but he had a really good session today (Tuesday) and he's going to resume with the group on Thursday in our main training session and we'll make a call on selection after that, but it's looking promising at this stage."
Hugo Ralphsmith, ribs
"Hugo's going really well. He's done all of our training the last few weeks, albeit non-contact. Today, we did a little bit of work with him around the contact side of things which didn't go too badly, but we need to probably have another look at it again on Thursday with full contact in our drills. At this stage, it's a little bit of a questionable one for us, we've got to make a decision after Thursday as to whether we move forward into match play on the weekend or whether we take another week."
Tom Brown, calf cork
"Tom was dealing with a significant calf cork and we had the VFL bye last week which gave him some extra time to recover from that. He resumed training today and he'll be in train with the group on Thursday so I expect he will play on the weekend."
Thomson Dow, quad cork
"Thomson was pretty close (last weekend). If we go back to the Adelaide game he had a significant corkie and with the five-day turnaround into the Melbourne game, he didn't quite have time to recover. And just with that previously corkie the week before, it was just a safer option with the younger player to miss last week. He actually trained last Friday with Dustin and the rest of the guys and did quite well, but is a little bit restricted still. He trained today, he'll train again on Thursday and be available again this week."
Samson Ryan, Achilles
"'Samson has a little bit of Achilles tendonitis. We had the bye last week from the VFL which certainly helped settle that, but we've just taken the safe often to miss a game this week, given he's one of our bigger games and plays pretty big game time playing in the ruck at VFL level. The safe option is to make sure we get this right and don't have a lingering Achilles issue. He felt good today so I'd say next week we'd be making a decision on his availability."
