Mega Thread 2015 Training Reports

[Harry Reems]

If its cartlidge he may have been told the full brace for a couple of weeks when walking. Assume it was the blue one?

Looked like a black fibreglass cast with steel rod supports to me.

I asked Apeness how he was travelling a couple of weeks ago and he said back on the track after Christmas.

So does that mean he has extended his contract and it will be a late start to preseason.

I think he's already contracted through 2016 isn't he? The late start to pre-season training isn't ideal.

Not certain,normally first contract is two years, so 14/15 for Appness.

Johnno trained fully today with the main group and his touch was superb. He doesn't need a run with Peel for mine and I believe he will be back for the derby as well.

Great news.

Thanks Harry - made my night.

Johnno was better than superb.In the match sims he settled himself across half back,read the play superbly .gobbled everything up and delivered into the forward half with his normal intelligent disposal.Could have slotted straight back in this Sunday.

 

[Tazmania]

Heard Michael Prior on the radio this morning. Said johnno will have a hard session tomorrow and will probably play in the Derby next week. Woot!!!

 

[pavsbootlace]

I also heard the interview with Prior. I was very excited to hear him suggest that they are planning to bring Johnson straight back into the 1s for the derby. However he also agreed that Ross has preferred playing two tall defenders and Ibbo taking the third. Which means they are planning to bring Silvagni in for only one game? Sounds a bit brutal. Time will tell I guess, but I hope to high heaven that Johnson is fit for next week.

 

[Redgum]

Silvagni may still hold his spot if McPharlin is injured.

that is a pretty serious knee injury. That sounds like broken bone.

 

[Belnakor]

so thats 4 months off... what was his original injury? PCL?

 

[Belnakor]

silvagni will play this week no doubt

 

[salim malik]

I think so but he has had a previous ACL if I remember correctly.

 

[Deathly]

Silvagni may still hold his spot if McPharlin is injured.

He was always going to keep his spot regardless

I love the lack of info regarding injuries. Sure we all want to know the truth. But they are just throwing out scraps.

Ive got a couple of mates going the the NM game and they have asked me where do the boys train in Melbourne before the game as they would like to cheer them on and maybe get some autographs as well.

I have seen this asked on Twitter and the club answer is always that they don't train in Melbourne.

They don't.

 

[Spoken4]

They don't.

They do go swimming at St Kilda though. Get them to sign your speedos?

How does Crowley look? Does he have the sort of fitness to tag an Issac Smith/Bradley Hill?

 

[elsleevador]

Look forward to some reports today? Wish i could get down there. Hoping mundy and pav are fit as fiddles.

 

[Harry Reems]

He's fit alright, he's been running non-stop since the ban came into play.

He's now building himself up in the gym so he isn't training with the main group as yet. I would be great to see Luke Shuey's face if Crowls ran through the banner on Sunday with the rest of the team.

Not quick enough.
If he tags anyone at Hawthorn it'll be Mitchell
