Training 2021 Pre-Season

[Spuddd]

I wouldn't be surprised to see him re-join our VFL. But may chase bigger dollars in suburban footy - if bigger dollars are still available post covid.

Probably not bigger dollars in the local scene anymore, but a well paying job would be a lot better than an 85-100k rookie contract.

That being said, if there is a spot on the list come the end of the rookie draft and he wants to be at the club, I'd take Crocker back purely to play in the VFL.

He's not up to AFL standard, however he acts as the Collingwood version of Udonis Haslem at the Miami Heat. If he can bring the group together and galvanize it after what has been dubbed as 'the off season from hell'. I cant see throwing away a one year rookie contract as the end of the world.

 

[Horaceg]

Great to hear! The players all loved Crocker. I wonder could he be drafted to our VFL side. Great for that level of footy.

Crocker needs to get the tatts right first, look what happened to Shaz when he finally exposed his....cut!

I'm showing my age here... none of this era players have got Tatts right... Bones Maghee and Bulldog Murray had the look years ago

Elliott needs a good 2021. We seem to be moving away from our previous high tatt ratio philosphy. I'm hearing it's the real reason we traded Stepho.

I don't think Croc or Shaz have them right for any era but if they want a gig at Collingwood they need to fit in better. All or nothing.

Yep. And not accompanying the tatts with a ciggie is inexcusable:

Good old Wingnut
With those ears they could use his head as a wind sock to determine wind direction when participating in goal kicking exercises.

For those hoping to see JDG out there, a quick peruse of his Instagram will show he has been going hard these last few weeks. Looks to be training 4-5 days a week with Benny Crocker. Bloke looks like an absolute animal which has me firming.

Bring back the Crock?

6 year deal at $650k is what our recruiters would negotiate, then justify it by saying they're saving $250k per year on AT.

650 over 6 years....not sure he’s even worth 100k per year

 

[lyfsux]

Training the house down?

There it is the first time of the preseason
with many more to come

 

[Darkyprotector]

Bring back the Crock?

6 year deal at $650k is what our recruiters would negotiate, then justify it by saying they're saving $2k per year on AT.

You know better still recruit you

Your obviously a smart football expert
Cheap laughs by a narrow mind
Crock
Worked his arse off

With all due respect, (and I absolutely love JDG, I reckon the fortunes of our next 4-5 years hang on him if he can become a consistent damaging mid which I believe he can) 20 second snippets on Instagram do not prove his fitness. The proof will be when he comes back for pre season and completes a full pre season.
He needs to run and get fit and act like a midfielder on the track.

The same can be said for most of the boys and this pre season we will get an idea on how seriously they want it, or are they all just happy getting a good pay cheque and going through the motions are our club.

I'm closely looking at those who don't need to be there in the 1-4 year group but do rock up.

I'll be keeping an eye out in 2 weeks.

 

[unplugged]

Can someone remind me if DeGoey has done full preseasons in recent seasons? I feel like he has but there always seems to be the "hot spots" in his legs and whatnot.

The good news is that there was a dogs poster earlier who has seen Jordy recently and reckons he looks stronger and fitter than he’s ever seen him. I’m crossing my fingers that he saw what Petracca did last preseason and now the penny has finally dropped.

“Hi Tim, we’re really interested in bringing you over to the pies. How do you feel about long term back ended deals?”
