Preview 2018 Goodbye (To 2019) New; Preseason Discussion

[Marmozet]

Expecting a season similar to 2016 minus the suspensions/mass injuries.

 

[Ports2GetLukosius]

Can’t see anyone getting the number 18 next season as Toumpas still hasn’t finished his time trial to give it back.

I can’t believe they didn’t even let him finish his first 3k before sacking him.

 

[Magus]

At the Noosa camp, every player on the list will be marched into a theater room, chained to a chair, and forced to watch this on repeat for 24 hours.

I have zero confidence in anyone learning from this.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Absolutely no love for my ability to water the grass.

 

[Spadge]

Will Sam Hayes be ready to train from day 1 or has he still got some time on the sidelines?

Same with Hammer, i know the seniors dont come back on the 5th but are they ready for full preseasons leading into Rd 1 or are they still a bit off

Hammer is very likely to play Rd1, may even be a chance for the second JLT.

Hayes is a while off.

Good stuff. Understated how much we missed Hartlett last season. He was in career best form before the knee

 

[Schulzenfest]

Scott Lycett will be loving that.

 

[TeeKray]

Scott Lycett will be loving that.

He'll be all 'up the ******* coasters' the whole time.

 

[Schulzenfest]

He'll be all 'up the ******* coasters' the whole time.

We can save money on hiring Collective Mind by just having Scott yell that incessantly on the team bus. And the Crows can get Tyson Stengle to sing the Richmond song for them.

 

[G3TWOTYAD3S3RV]

Ports are in a black hole.

 

[Us against the rest]

Yep. Can't get interested until draft night. Pick up 3 potential guns a couple of which push for round 1 along with Atley and Marshall.

You can say that again.

 

[Andre]

Hopefully Monty ditches Bassetts Maginot line Defense and has a mobile Defense able to withstand attacks (and invade Poland on the counter).

What I externally hope to see, but am invariably disappointed come our first game against another side, is our players not looking like boys standing next to men. FFS Let them in the weights room, especially our KPP’s, with the 6-6-6 setup.

 

[ozph1870]

Who takes the highly fancied no.29?

Lycett

Lookng forward to hearing Monty interviewed, hopefullt this coming week sometime. Has been rather quiet on the media front.

 

[RossFC]

So who have we got with fitness issues heading towards pre-season?

Ryder with the heel/hip flexor sounds like a week by week thing, hopefully the off-season helps him here.
Hartlett and Hayes should be close to return after their ACLs.
Rockliffs shoulders.
Broadbents ankle.
Marshall had the worst luck in the world breaking into a million pieces.
Hope Atleys back is fine after he struggled with it in the 2nd half of the season.
Dixons lower leg/ankle.
Drews foot?

Missing anyone?

Absolutely no love for my ability to water the grass.

I was going to vote for this but I've got irrigation system

If you add "I watered the lawn but it still died" I'll vote for that

 

[Steve Dore]

I actually want a punch on at training. It breaks up the players boredom at training.

When the players return to training on Monday I expect to see fireworks.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Who will replace Toumpas as the slow coach getting a kick up the bum?

 

[Magus]

Ken Hinkley hopefully.

Does he know the words? I wasn't sure they sung the same song in the reserves.

 

[Pappagallo]

I refuse to vote in the poll until this awful thread title is changed. It’s a Legs Feed The Wolf-tier mess.

 

[TeeKray]

Yes he does.

From his 1 win in a total of 2 AFL matches.

When he kicked his only 2 career goals in his career total of 16 possessions.

Which were match defining goals in a big comeback win on the road.

Against guess who.

I hope you didn't post in the 2018 goodye (to 2019) new; assistants discussion thread then.
