Alright, keen to here the predictions: how does Brayden George find a spot in the seniors?

Surely there’s an alternative to “waiting around for Zurhaar to get injured”?

dont have to wish for injuries... isnt it called depth, and both pushing each other to get that one spot in the team. If form not up to scratch the other comes in

For the track watchers that have been this year what day is typically the biggest session of the week? Keen to get down but would prefer to watch the players with ball in hand rather than doing repeat sprints

Goat looks to be ok - stitched up.

last time I went to a sat training it was cancelled and the year 18s were out there training.

 

[Rod Stroker]

I don't think that Larkey can play 2nd ruck. He's not that guy.

Probably why we assigned Darling for that role, who wasn't horrible.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Are they doing training up on the Gold Coast again before Xmas like last year?

Pretty sure they are on their Queensland training camp then

 

[JZTIME!]

Ah well, Squires Loft it is then

 

[King Corey]

Ah well, Squires Loft it is then

Coincidentally that's where they're holding their preseason camp.

At Southport? Same as last year?

 

[Boro]

Sunshine Coast this time...I think at the Maroochydore facility

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Wouldn't really like to see a 191 cm guy in the ruck with no wrestling allowed - hmmm....

The boys are in Echuca

 

[DuckYeah]

Alright, keen to here the predictions: how does Brayden George find a spot in the seniors?

Surely there’s an alternative to “waiting around for Zurhaar to get injured”?

He gets fit enough and maintains enough explosiveness to make the coaches think a forward line with him, Curtis, Dovaston (all being well) and Zurhaar is viable. Maybe he pushes further up the ground. Supposed to have a decent kick on him, or at least he did.

We've scuppered ourselves with the medium forward/small midfielder double combo. LDU still our only midfielder at 6'2 or taller, and we've got a handful of blokes at a very similar height who much prefer playing forward. I'd be trying to push Zurhaar into the midfield a bit; I know we've done it before, with mixed results, but it seems like the clearest way to a) give us some grunt in there and b) relieve the half-forward glut ever so slightly
