I my world there's a saying...

"There's nothing more ex than an ex"

And aint it true Keg, aint it true.

And aint it true Keg, aint it true.

One of our biggest failings over the years imo Baz

Took me two weeks to find out.

 

[Yabadoo22]

So preseason starts back Wednesday for 1st to 4th year players? Are king and bytel ready to go or will they be held back? Both need big preseasons to get them up and running for 2020

 

[Keg on legs]

Does anyone know where I can find training timetables?

I've never been to watch the lads train but might try to catch something in the next 2 weeks if I can

Would be very keen to see marsh trial as an inside mid.

+1 to this

I like Marsh’s story and get the appeal but I think he is a clumsy footballer with average smarts and can’t ever see him holding down a spot, and if he does can only see it down back. Like to be proven wrong obviously cos he’s a decent unit.

He shows glimpses. I reckon Jason Blake spent more than three quarters of his career with people thinking the same thing. He's a jack of all trades fill in with ability to cover a few roles.

A bit of a tidbit from HS article:

Second-year tall King had ankle surgery mid-year but, like Dean Kent (knee), would have been ready for full training by Round 23.

Dan Hannebery will be delayed by a broken foot, Matt Parker has had a minor ankle clean-up and Jack Steele (dislocated kneecap) will start the pre-season several weeks behind his teammates.

Apart from those issues the Saints are in excellent shape, with captain Jarryn Geary (broken leg) ready to start the pre-season.


Lethlean said the club would spend the summer working out where their exciting new recruits slotted into Ratten’s plans for 2020.

“We should be able to play a few tricks with (Rowan) Marshall and Paddy Ryder, how they play ruck and play forward, Dan Butler gives us forward pressure and allows Gresh (Jade Gresham) to play more onball. And I guess we rotate (Zak) Jones, Jack Billings, (Jack) Sinclair, (Seb) Ross and Brad (Hill) through the wings and half forward.

“We have Dougal Howard and Jake Carlisle playing back and (Jarryn) Geary is back into the team so does (Hunter) Clark play back or midfield? It’s all good stuff to work through.

“There is definitely a bit of selection pressure which will be good and more depth so that should drive the boys.”

So it seems like King and Bytel should be ready from day one, hopefully both have a great preseason.

He was rated by Collingwood until he chucked it in.
But he's a Saint, so probably rubbish.

Around 10am

 

[Palantine]

Lethers including Ross with others rotating between half forward and wing. Then mentions Clark in midfield. New role for Rossy I wonder? Doubt it but find it curious.

Im tipping you wont get any gauge as i doubt there will be any match simulation on the first day back with only half the squad on the track

Sure but my tip is he plays fwd most of the year

Well see marsh flourish after a full preseason. Has loads of ability

Has it been confirmed that Ben Dixon finished up at the end of last year?

Still trying to find the door, keeps bumping into the nearby windows.

(Ok im recycling jokes now, but still amuses me)

Looking forward to some photos of training today!

 

[LeonardHayes87]

Hope the club runs with some pictures of pre-season

A) the fans want to see them and B) it’s important to build interest over summer for memberships etc.

I see most clubs have put some out today, fingers crossed we follow suit soon

Would be difficult they did weight session all morning indoors

Outdoor session tomorrow I’m reliably informed .

 

[Sunnyjim]

In every photo every player seems to have a tattoo on the right bicep of a cross ? Must have bonded over the break even the likes of king and Paton have it
