Ross has confirmed he is unlikely as is Blakely

 

[Docker82]

You don't see how Clancee would be harder to get around than Deboer?

Slightly but not by much tbh.

I went to WC training and to my surprise I was nominated as a possible midfield selection....I turned them down

Your fault for walking briskly. Their vision would have been drawn to the quick movement.

Sounds like you could be an umpire, if playing isn't your thing anymore. Your haircut doesn't look anything like this, does it?

Before this thread goes the way of the dodo now that the season proper has started, just wanted to say a hearty thank you to all who ventured down to Freo Oval (and any associated bakeries) to provide geographically-challenged folk such as myself your insights into how well we've navigated the wastelands that is footy off-season. You truly are the good people of the internets!

No sign of Clakkas Clark today at training today according to Bridget Lacey.

Anyone get down there today?

Popped in for maybe 15 mins

A few not on the park today - Clarke, Pav, Macca just to name a few - only counted maybe 30-35 out there

Sandi doing light work

Split into first and seconds team of what I saw. Interestingly Croz in the 2nds. Also Crowley out there also in the 2nds. Didn't think he was training with the group. Found it more interesting watching the 2nds team. At times, very messy but other times beautiful skills.

Both teams focusing on set plays, throw ins... defensive 1 on 2's.... kicks inside 50 to 2 on 1's... position kicking inside 50

Mz, Suban, Deboer, Clancee all out there in the 1st team. Couldn't see blakey or weller so I cant give any insight on where they will likely be this weekend. My tip is Peel

 

[Nickos66]

Do the 2nds squat train with Burley's or Sherrins?

Couldn't say tbh

Forgot to add - Mayne is moving fine - he will play forward in my opinion with tabs assuming he's good to go

Tabs train at all? If so, who with?

Cheers for the info

Sherrins. The AFL should just bring in Burleys since they are a far superior ball.

 

[JamFrank]

Interesting selection table this week, by the sounds of things. We're all guessing Suban to be out, but who's the unlucky one to make way for Tabener? If MDB, who becomes sub?

 

[Grape Bear]

I expect more meltdowns when the squads come out tomorrow.

 

[beetz]

Burleys aren't the same as what they used to be, they have fattened them up to be just shy of Sherrin size. I much prefer the Sherrins now.

Huh? I always remember Burleys being bigger and fatter than Sherrins. Sherrin's being pointier.

 

[clogged]

There's an extremely strong likelihood that no one gets dropped. Lyon values consistency in the team week to week very highly.
