Didn't TOm Browne say the Eddie played for the best 22 side? So our best 22 has Casboult, Eddie, Parkes, Kennedy & Crocker?

Also, every training session photo gallery I've seen so far has involved lots of players swapping sides. From newbies like Parkes to locked-in-the-starting-team players like Jones.

Well when they all change jumpers i guess everyone has played in the best 22 side.....so he's not wrong

Im guessing at some point though they had a best 22 vs the rest

love nothing more than Dow to smash the game out of the park.

Looking back, Dow's draft year has taken a bit more time than the 2018 draft year.
But, if Dow can make it then it's not a bad draft year after all

 

[The Bighouse]

No E in the Parks. Just #26 Luke Parks.

Received an email from the Club earlier for a chance to enter to win one of 50 double passes to a Member-exclusive training session this Sat 20th March.

The session will be closed to the public.

Stockers, Williamson, SPS first preseason. McKay was hampered to start 2020 as was Dow.

Any form of public lockout for training sessions is always on the nose for mine.
Gouger gunna gouge though i guess ...

Why, they want fans in and have to find a way to control numbers due to COVID. This is their solution. No gouging here.

Strange the competition to watch training is for this Saturday after we play Thursday night! I imagine training might be a little bit lighter come Saturday morning for a lot of the boys.

Stockers, Williamson, SPS first preseason. McKay was hampered to start 2020 as was Dow.

No doubt a full preseason makes a huge difference, Williamson McKay and Setterfield have had big injury setbacks during their career, Cunners continuous injuries during most of his seasons, DeKoning has missed through two large layoffs knee and back, Dow had the nagging knee injury last year, Fish had the fractured leg a few seasons back while Stocker had some personal reasons for leaving the hub last year heading back home, SPS has had a great run only missing a handful a games tops and O’Brien has not had any major injury setback while the club has tried developing aspects of his game...
The boys that are entering in their 6-5-4 years are the ones I’m really hoping that can raise their games providing they have a great run without any major injury setbacks...

I would suggest it is likley a scratch match for the reserves and that the Best 22 would not be training.

I still want to know, who do you think is gonna have a BO year?

Fisher for me

Walsh will be AA. Obviously. On ball now. Less rotations. Longer game. He The game is set up for him this year. I see 30+ a game. I really like Setters on a wing. I don’t think he has amazing hands below his knees which hurt him a bit in the pressure of on ball roles. He’s a lot fitter this year. I like his size and athleticism for the wing. I expect a really nice year from him. And yes, Fisher. If he can stay injury free for a change. He’s slippery. Dangerous. Lethal. He’s a lethal footballer. Could really hurt teams this year. TDk when he returns. He really has ‘it’.

 

[BluStreak]

Charlie to have a break out year.

Break A rest from injury.

Fisher reminds me of Barry Sanders in the NFL. So quick in a phone booth you think you have him and suddenly he's made you look like a fool.

Footy fans: "Members should get more benefits, they're the ones supporting the club financially!"
Also footy fans: "OMG, only members allowed or given access, club is so money hungry!"

Go figure.

Members are mostly rusted on, a training session won’t change much for them.
Give the average punter something to like and they may just commit and swell those coffers ...

Like offering members-only benefits to encourage those punters to sign up...

Locking supporters out of training has never sat well with me.

agree. Once per week/fortnight for supporters you wouldn’t think could cause any harm at all.

There are clubs that have training venues without high fencing that cope.

Not sure why, it's a footy club, not a zoo. Entirely reasonable for the club to have closed sessions and exclusive sessions as they see fit.

Pretty sure we aren't the only Club that has closed training sessions.
