Training 2020 Preseason

[Olian]

West Coast kicked more in the first half than GWS did in their entire game. That to me is just not anywhere near the level of humiliation that would've compromised their winning culture all that much.

In any case, can't we just agree that I think GWS are screwed, and you think they'll be fine?

Yes we can agree to a disagree. It would be boring if we all agreed.

Pies will be up there I reckon and geelong will do same as last year

Hawks will make the 8 imo too with the Brownlow winner back

Pies only made top 4 due to Wce having a very off game against the hawks last round , 6- 8 but still of best

Geelong make up the numbers come finals , home ground gets them there , plus Ablett, Selwood and Taylor are done

Eagles midfield with Kelly will be improved only query is the ageing Kennedy up forward. At 32 will age catch up with him. Last year was only good for 2 goals a game a drop from earlier years where he was averaging around 3.

Walked into meeting today with the hiccups....a fellow swans fan turns round and goes 'did you hear Buddy is out for 10 week!"

Hiccups gone....A fib that proves the Old wives tale

Hiccups gone....

Hoping they were reading an old newspaper from early Jan??

 

[Punts]

Won’t see buddy till after the break imo

A deliberate fib from her to 'scare' the hiccups out of me....it worked!

Meant they can make the 8 and push with their draw for both

Anything can happen on grand final day

Lot easier to win if you make them

Lot easier to win if the AFL have slotted you in for the win too apparently. #braveflogs

 

[The King!]

Won’t see buddy till after the break imo

Round two they will imply he could play

The speed of that team v the team of two years ago....
Anybody know how Papley is travelling?

 

[caesar88]

Interesting to see how Cunningham, COR and Dawson all go in the one team. They have attributes that kind of overlap with each other.

Via Virgin to Melbourne for the State of Origin match.

I think he has his own car.

 

[Swansujelly]

Good to see Fox in the bp. Was saying last season he should play there as a replacement for Smooch (not that he can be replaced)

 

[caesar88]

Also... Wicks!! Glad he gets a chance with the big boys after what was a stellar first year in the NEAFL!

 

[The King!]

Like the forward line

Heeney broken thumb
Melican hamstring
Reid soft tissue injury fitness
Mills rep game
Lloyd rep game
Papley rep game

Points of interest

Elijah Taylor missing
Ling an emergency
Dawson midfield
Gould, Stephens and Warner all getting a run
Clarke and Thurlow down the pecking order
Gray and Taylor both getting a run


Most injuries will be right soon so we’ll be close to full list.

I’m so very excited by our list and prospects.

No Bell... this despite two articles in as many weeks saying he will bolster the midfield this year. Two draftees are getting practice games before him...
