Training 2011 Preseason Thread

[Godzke]

I know we have the "player watch" board but it would be easier to keep track of how everyone's progressing in one thread imo (i know mods would disagree since they worked hard on getting more ppl to use that board).

Post your reviews of how each player is shaping up as you hear/see it. ie test results, time trials, general observations, etc.

Word is that Neagle has shed 8kgs (according to Boucks - thanks to whomb for bringing it to my attention) and Carisle bulked up. Any others?

yeah i agree it would be good to have everything together if its on the topic of pre season. I know people always put up pics and info so it would make stuff easier to find, provided it doesnt get hundreds of useless posts. But yeh im in support of the thread so keep it up please.

Easier? It's only one more click. Although, the way Bigfooty chews up the usage, it's probably another GB.

Dozen more clicks if you're following a dozen players, and given almost every player needs a massive preseason then it's a bit hard to track by subscribing to individual threads.

Looking at some of the pre season photo's on Twitter, looks like young James Webster (NSW Scholarship player) and David Meli (International Scholarship Holder) are both in training with us.

On the AFL pre season list, says that Darcy Daniher is "fighting fit and aiming to complete his first full pre-season training campaign".

Interesting for us about Webster and Meli though..

 

[Godzke]

Both are one year away from being drafted aren't they?

What's the ruling for us to get em? Father/Son-like nominations?

Webster is eligible this year, Meli is available next year but some have suggested we may just take him and provide for him in a full time football enviroment the tools he needs to potentially make it as a footballer.

That's not implying he's a Peterson/Taylor type player who can't handle full-time AFL?

 

[Ben the Gooner]

NSW Scholarship holders are eligible to be picked up with a club's final pick in either the national or rookie drafts, depending on which list the club wants to put them on.

Meli will be our final rookie spot.

Hopefully people give him a bit more time than they have Quinn.

For the record, I think both are two of the better kicks in our squad.

By that I mean in the best 22 (kicking wise).

Quinn is a potato

People said the same about Stynes.

Quality pun.

Who do you mean?

Can someone look at the EFC website and look at the pre season photos.

Page 2, Photo 7, who is the player 2nd from the right with the white hat backwards (possibly Mariglianis?)

I am not sure, pretty young kid and have not seen him before.

Can anyone fill me in?

Thanks

 

[Godzke]

yeah looks like him

You're looking at the beep test in the gym yeah? In between Bock and Winderlich.

AND ****ING ROFL AT BOCK. My god he looks like an awkward bastard.

 

[Kong]

they would both be in the top 22 ranked players in out squad, as far as kicking skills go.

With the pictures on the 5th page it's has a picture of Winderlich talking to Hird with the caption "winderlich talking to THE James Hird", funny stuff!

Yeah it is Marigliani, if you look at the 5th picture you can see his face

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Did we need to either delist or promote Bock after his two years?

 

[Godzke]

You thought signing Bomber was sneaky...

We have our elite midfielder in training already.

 

[The Donners]

People said the same about Stynes.

If he was playing football today he would be. An agile ruckman is now the norm not the exception.

I've been saying for weeks that we should get him to nominate

 

[beev]

Anyone know who is first on the right (the red head next to Wellman)?
