Good to see Dixon with a beard again!

And run a lap without tearing his calf.

Spotted all the taller players running in the Lappin video clip. All of them looking lean and fit.

Absolutely no idea how to tag anyone official on my phone but could we get an interview with stephen schwert about his expectations and some insight for what he expects this preseason and how he thought our conditioning held up last year? Cheers!

this bloke is an absolute champion. 2nd year player and 5th in the b&f with 2 bung knees all year. what a guy.

 

[TheSunGod]

He is a star but I'm very concerned that he has had this problem at such a young age, even if the surgery was deemed a success. What are the chances of the problem re-occurring? How will this affect the rest of his playing days? How will he go next year and beyond off a limited training base? Will he ever become the player we all hoped he would (i.e. The best mid in the comp) after this major setback?

Rafael Nadal seems okay.

Rafael Nadal seems okay.

I like your optimism but Jaeger doesn't play tennis, he plays the toughest football code on the planet
He is an absolute key to our premiership aspirations especially after we invested two first round picks into him. Would hate to see him Menzelled.

Hi guys. Have Malceski and Hallahan been given their new jumper numbers for next year?

Nadal gets away with doping.

I don't know about that. He's had knee tendinitis from a young age (like Jaeger) and legitimately would have won more grand slams had he not had the knee condition. Often throughout his career he has had to skip tournaments and take lay offs up to 9 months at a time. You'll also notice he plays a lot of clay tournaments and does very well on them. This is because the clay surface is more forgiving on the knees and is a slower surface.

I guess it's hard to know if this surgery is going to work but, as impessive as Nadal's career has been, he almost definitely would have surpassed Federer by now if he didn't have knee tendinitis. What I'm trying to say is we may never see the best of Jaeger which is a real shame.

 

[TheJaegerBomb]

Menzel did ACLs didn't he?

Look if that's what Jaeger produced at 20 years old with two bung knees I think he will certainly be a very good player at the least. Just gotta see what happens I guess. At least if his knees are ****ed he won't leave us for money.

 

[Experimental]

At least if his knees are ****** he won't leave us for money

My thoughts exactly.

I would hope the the duty of care the club has already shown in getting him looked at by the best surgeon in the field would be enough for Jaeger to know we have his best interests at heart. we have invested heavily in him and I would hope that he would do the same in return for the club.

time will tell

******* hell

******* hell

Relax. . Very early in the pre season. Many soft tissue injuries occur during this time. Neither of them sound terrible.

 

[TheJaegerBomb]

Not what I heard Sunny_. Word on the street is they will never play again

His (Blights) comments are more on anticipation of change rather than anything concrete at this stage regarding Rocket

Hopefully Rocket really challenges the guys soon so they can see a direction / game plan that fills them with some confidence.
