Training Pre-Season 2023 (First game 18/3 v North)

[RookiePick]

Chesser looking more like a man than I ever have at 40+.

I freaking hope he gets a clean run at it from here.

Probably spent 1000% more time in the gym than playing footy since he hit puberty

 

[Altum Volantes]

So are we assuming big Nic got another dose of COVID and the club is being ‘coy’ about his illness because they don’t want immediate suggestions that we ‘haven’t learned from last season’ and ‘COVID CRISIS ROCKS EAGLES’?

So smoking bongs and whacking off won't nett a rig like his?

I wish

 

[Yeo_Check_Out_ma_Flow]

He’s only been running laps and doing rehab work. Haven’t seen him kicking the footy or joining in drills to any great extent

Probably as far away fitness wise from being ready to play as anyone on our list at the moment other than perhaps Dewar who isn’t even running

Given training ends Friday I doubt he does anything with the main group until the new year

 

[Goroyals22]

Hmm, well we now know that his 'mystery' injury was gastro.

Lap band surgery

 

[BeornJ]

You realise after your misses has a kid, you can’t get any action for a while, maybe NN has been taking his frustration out in the gym

Polygamy

Speaking as a guy who married and had a child with the first girl he dated

Most of the above stems from Gavin Bell speaking to Mark Duffield this morning. Link to the interview is here but it sounds like Bell is stuck down a well when talking so the audio is hard to pick up

I'm really excited for Allen. This could be a big year for him.

Though I also realised he is now older than Darling was when he played in the 2015 GF. Just shows how lucky we were to get a player that has performed at such a high level from an early age.

For people watching training, has Shuey slimmed down? Doesn't look as nuggety as before in one of the recent photos. Wonder if its to help with injury or a position change.

I’m guessing it might have been this photo that lead you to think Shuey might have trimmed down - he does look trimmer in this photo

In person he looks a bit chunkier than this

Its the old baggy singlet in summer trick perhaps?

Love Dark Sharks reaction.

His misso is due in the next few months.

So DS has she been smiling alot? Once that baby arrives you can forget about BJ Wednesday's as well buddy!

I was told it was BJ Wednesday. Singular

“I don’t think we’ll put any limits on any of our younger players. If they’re ready to go and have earned their opportunity, then I have no doubt Simmo will back them in.”


I hope so Gavin.

What he didn’t tell you was that Ginbey will be starting forward pocket, Hewett second ruck and Barnett on the defensive wing

 

[bl4ke]

Can Harry Edwards play forward? 204cm you're well into the modern forward (King twins, 2m Peter) territory.

 

[Dark Sharks]

I think Edwards is pretty limited as a player, hence why he's a lockdown defender.

 

[TOA.]

Yep. When he came onto the scene it was exciting as he appeared to have the size to go with the new age super tall forwards like the Kings. He also seemed to be relatively althetic for his size. He lost the plot completely last year though, especially his athleticism - I’m hoping that was just down to injury.

 

[ziad]

Agreed, but I hold some hope that he is still growing into his body.

Seems way too nice a bloke to make it as a KPF. Unless you are god tier like JK you need to have some kent about you to succeed. Even reknown good bloke Tommy Porkins likes to belt people, let alone absolute Dark Sharks like Lynch or Cameron.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

That is legit blowing my mind.

Harry Edwards to the Brander wing

Harry Edwards to the Brander wing

You make it sound like Brander made a large donation to a children's hospital and they named a section after him.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Ledwards was pretty good off the Brander wing before he died.

 

[FKASC]

Yeah Allen is in his 6th season now. Crazy huh
