Training 2025 Pre Season and Training Reports Thread

[Mofra]

Sounds like Richards is training today. Bodes really well for our round 1 team, he's just so important to us and likely to show some improvement again this year given his increased exposure/experience to AFL midfield roles.

With Treloar and Bont out, he’s really our only mid that can be explosive out of the stoppage.

As you say, he is beyond important for this first 4-6 rounds.

Desperately need him. A midfield of Libba, Sanders & Kennedy would be horrifically exposed in open play.

Gabelich reckons Treloar is ahead of schedule.. might be a smokey for rd 1

No need to rush him.

 

[TheScriptorWL]

No need to rush him.

Even if he’s well on track. Give him a little more time, Bring him back in round 2 against Collingwood. I think we can handle the Kangas without him.

Any other opponent in the first five weeks will require his experience, if he’s available l.

This x 1000. Or if he's ready.... sub option? Injection of pace & experience late in the game tends to be the way subs are best used.

Think he would be the worst option as sub with his soft tissue issues

If he was touch and go I'd prefer to get another week's conditioning into him. No doubt treloar is important to winning a game but he is more important to winning a final. I feel he is exactly the type we need to be conservative with.

This is what we want to see more of

In relation to Bont's estimated six weeks out of action, does the six weeks commence when he is first diagnosed as having an injury, from when Opening Round begins or from when we play our first game the following week?

From injury

But be aware they’re saying 6 weeks minimum.

“Bontempelli is expected to miss at least the next six weeks, with a return-to-play plan to be finalised in coming days.”

I have no illusions.

I generally don't trust our injury list as the club has a habit of extending timeframes out without telling us

 

[premiers2017]

I was told last week before the hawks game- that treloar believes he is a chance for round 1- now seeing the photo makes me feel even more confident. Tbf the club were not super specific about his injury

 

[cleveland]

I have been told Bont reckons he will be ready by the Carlton game.

did the same person inform you that Donald Trump will never be president of the USA twice and a house in Seddon will never go up in value

 

[Martyn_30_]

Richards,West and Dale are all expected to be available at this stage.

Would be huge. We are owed some luck with injury news so fingers crossed!

You just cannot mess around with calves, see Kevin Durant snapping his achillies a few years back rushing back from one.

Amazing. Richards and especially Dale are much needed. Dale is so so important.

 

[Pencil case]

If Richards, West and Dale play round one we’re a lock to win.

Our depth is pretty solid to cover injuries, add those [emoji639] in we will field a very good side.

When your “worst” players on ground are Harmes, Vandermeer & Gallagher, that’s the same as last year essentially. That means we don’t need to dig too deep.

 

[stefoid]

If Richards and Dale make it back, give Treloar another week.

Happy to report I have joined the Dogs calf injury list after being in th mosh pit for Slipknot last night

I am also on the calf injury list with calf awareness and shin splints
