Training 2026 Training Reports

[freoextra]

Switta, Worner and Ryan looking the best they have for a few weeks certainly putting their hands up for selection. Whilst no chance for selection Simpson is standing out with his immaculate disposal and some strong marking.

Wait why is young not training?

Have not seen him at training since his “minor” injury.

 

[OldGregg]

Whilst Pearce being in rehab does not make you confident of his return it is a very positive rehab at full speed, could be more of a final test to fitness.

Agree
Very quick, short and sharp movements. He looks fine to me … but not training with the main squad is concerning

 

[freoextra]

I swear Banners is strutting through training with a smirk knowing the shock selection is approaching again!

 

[freoextra]

Pearce back in main training, confidence is returning!

 

[freoextra]

Amiss has run off training has a fair limp ( had it last week as well) he is battling something.

 

[Shoeless Joe]

With someone as valuable as Youngey, let's hope they play the long game regarding his injury

I'd much rather see him miss a game or 2 now and play the rest of the season without injury (dreamin' I know)

Amiss back for the main match sim along with Pearce in a great sign.

Probably just found out King Huskii is his Buddy.

I need a Young update

Proper match sim A team v B team.
Walker, Swaggy, McDonald, Switta, Pearce playing in the A team.

Judd playing very well first time I have seen him standing out.

Again Simpson is the standout for the B team, big Cox is in the B team.

Who?

You could imagine watching it, I’m not leaving till they finish!!

You are doing the lords work FE...I tip my lid to you.

Question...are you a true believer of Simpson and love him to death or do you believe he is close to a call up to the AFL side purely on what you see at training?

 

[freoextra]

That looks to be a wrap, slow starts but Pearce, Switta, Swaggy and Worner all firming for selection, I got a very strong feel that Ryan is not playing ( they are still working on his fitness).

Murray, Scerri, Davies and Simpson the best of the rest.

Didn’t get a debut vibe today more of a sneaky Bailey vibe.

Sadly coming from a long way back after preseason injury and just starting to show what I think we are all excited about. This is really his first standout session this year.

His kicking skills are close to the best in the club but I am not sure he is anywhere close to selection.

Cheers mate, appreciate your insight.

[BREATHLESS_987]

Not to be captain pessimism, but have we ever had a player not even appear at main training due to injury and still play that weekend?

 

[Quazar2]

my "uneducated guess" is Young will miss, which utterly sucks.

I'd also prefer they go the long term route with him too, but flat as if he misses Round 1 for the 2nd year running

Young and B .Cox firming up as misses at this stage. Hopefully all the others are good to go.

If young can’t get his body right this year I might lean into the trade him Camp

If he can't get his body right this year, the club would have to pay another club to take him in a trade given how long his contract is for.
