I thought that was Goodwin (angle of the sun illuminating his hair to appear as a red dog).

Can't believe a schoolboy would be as filled out as that. He looks massive.

Just read on BB from a couple of guys that are at training this morning that T. Slatts is still training with us. Thought that was interesting enough to pass on.

 

[Godzke]

Yeah noticed him in the photos on the EFC website. To be delisted and re-drafted as a rookie? Or can we just keep him as is?

 

[juppy]

He has potential by the looks of it so you would imagine he would have to be re-rookied to be kept. Stoked he is still there atm.

You prefer the bigger schoolboys?

 

[Godzke]

I'd bend over for you any time Donners...

The club's rehabilitation group was remarkably small with just Tayte Pears (foot), Taite Silverlock (foot) and Anthony Long (hamstring) kept away from the main group while David Myers was restricted to static drills as he was wearing a moon boot.

Great to hear our rehab group is limited to just 4, and that Zaka's in full training. Obviously Silverlock is still recovering from his broken fibula, can someone fill me in what is the deal with the other 3.

Did Pears have surgery on his foot or something?
Long, just a standard hammy?
Myers, why the moonboot? This one is the biggest concern for me. I believe he needs to get a lot of km's under his belt this preseason so he can get into the midfield. Don't want to see where another injury curtailed season would leave him.

Gumbleton had surgery in nearly every part of his body (j/k)

Gumbleton had surgery in nearly every part of his body (j/k)

Not far from it, I think.

There were the ribs, obviously, but also his hand and his knee.

anyone notice the latest pics?

Check Reimers boots out, very plain for him maybe hirdy has told him to earn the boots!

 

[Godzke]

Needs to bulk up a lot more imo

 

[daffo]

He will soon, don't stress. He has the shoulders for it.

 

[Kong]

Agreed, he's not overly defined either.

Definitely has the frame for it though, as well as natural strength and football smarts.

Just imagine when he gets in to good condition!

 

[knightsgone]

Good to see the young fellas Melksham and Colyer doing well. Only good story behind Gumbleton this year to come out of Windy Hill.

 

[FootyGuru]

monfries looks to have put on some size, do you think he is capable of playing in the midfeild this season?

 

[Kong]

Photos?

 

[FandangoDingo]

 

[Kong]

Doesn't really look any bigger to me.

Still has an entire pre season, though.

 

[Godzke]

That guy is responsible for at least 5,000 female memberships. Can't delist him.

 

[Kong]

Haha I don't doubt that

 

[GoldenboyHird_5]

Dunno why he is though... I mean he's tiny?

 

[Kong]

School boy look, apparently.
