Yeah apparently dislocated knee 2 - 12 weeks? he was running today at training apparently.

Also mentioned he approached Goodwin to ask what the benefit of the army style camp was?

listening to the report you provided, it sounds like he said. "tyson raised concerns with the coach Simon Goodwin, although he now sees the benefit in the camp.

Is it just me or am i hearing it wrong?
 
This also sounds like Richmond preseason training back in 1980. Do a time trial with no water on a 40+ day, because water is a sign of weakness, it's said some needed help from the ambos by the end.

Seems old fashioned, but it did get them a premiership though. Feels like goody is trying to raise the bar, meaning business as coach

Did that report say Tyson was running laps? Surely not that bad then.

Also said the complaint about the camp was a non-issue. From the sound of it with Dom the absolute worst case is he misses round 1 and plays for Casey, I think he'll be fine. He is no doubt a top 10 player in our side but at least he plays a position we have a s**t load of depth in.

I think Barassi was pretty known for that approach - wouldn't let players take water or wear sleeves if it was cold because they needed to toughen up or something. I don't think the ethos works so well with millennials though. Plus the science is a bit questionable.
 
Malcolm blight used to do it at Geelong and Adelaide as well, no water allowed during training sessions

s**t for Dom, poor bastard is struggling in pre seasons didn't he miss a lot last year as well?

Luckily Lewis can literally slot straight into his role in round 1 if he misses out, probably guarantees Melksham a shot at playing as well

Good to hear the boys are being pushed to the limits, wouldn't love to do it meself but luckily I don't have too

As long as Fatty Kent makes it through pre season without choking on a souvy then she's all good

He should probably wear jeans and t-shirt to matches then. Or a tuxedo

That may stop my colleagues from commenting on how fat he is at every oppurtunity.

He's just one of those people - I think the TV adds pounds or neck rolls or something. He looks pretty good at training. I thought he might of gotten bigger. In a good way; not a beer-belly way. But I think that every pre-season about almost everyone so it might not be accurate.

Yeah I know, just think it's hilarious. Have done plenty of that in local footy myself, not fun.
Would have thought professional sportsmen would be using equipment that isn't going to knock them out.

Guess it being an army camp it was supposed to be as uncomfortable as possible

So I guess the idea is that if we don't make finals we can go to war? Or hump bricks around?

I'm actually reasonably glad I'm not a professional sportsperson and AFL player (but if I was one I would probably be like Nat Fyfe or maybe Wayne Carey without the background noise)

I'm OK with the idea that if we lose an elimination final to St Kilda then no one leaves the ground alive
