Training 2022 Training Reports

[Ge3ks]

If it were a like-for-like recruitment need, in lieu of Valente's departure, then you would expect Bailey Rogers to get the gig.

But I have heard Freo insiders suggest they are looking for a versatile tall that could fill a need if we get players forced into Covid isolation. Strom or Schlensog would be good in that regard.

 

[Eski3]

You would think if one of the Peel guys was getting it we wouldn't have applied re Rogers and Schlensog. So it sounds like it's between those two.

I still reckon the club will elect to watch them in the first half of the WAFL season and make a decision at the MSD

 

[Ge3ks]

I reckon they definitely pull the trigger pre-season, for the Covid backup plan, and just keep the MSD as an option if any of our players get placed onto the long-term injury list. (Let's hope not)

Anyone expecting anything wild and weird being tried out from the Freo coaches this w/e? Or anything you wouldn't mind seeing (eg positionally)?

I'll get the ball rolling...

Kicking more goals than points. Crazy, I know.

Well they are conjoined siamese twins, so it makes sense that they would have to both be there. Imagine the wistful looks if they were separated.

 

[DragoDelph]

Can we all try not to be baited by the toast no matter what happens?

Just a nice, nonchalant couple of weeks.

 

[Spirit Level]

Is Fridays game still on Kayo with the venue switch?

Kicking more goals than points. Crazy, I know.

That would require Amiss to play. Maybe the 2nd practice game?

Perhaps we have trained just to win the first centre clearance each quarter, lock the ball forward with a wall and just kick points (I'll say deliberately but we know we are even better at doing it accidentally) so the ball never returns past half way? Final score 0.36.36 to 0.0.0.

there's a play some of the better teams utilise called avoiding injuries to key players in practice games. I wouldn't mind us giving that a go this year.

That’s something you can do??

Roger that! WAFL star finally gets Dockers training date

Bailey Rogers has been given the go-ahead to start training at Fremantle in a two-week bid to try and convince the Dockers to add him to their list ahead of the AFL’s list deadline.

thewest.com.au

Now I finally get it... it was Luke Polson wearing Bailey Banfield’s number that I thought was Chapman playing at full forward last Friday. He is a big unit.

Might be getting ahead of myself here but Sean Darcy

looks like he's going to be unstoppable this year. He may be the strongest player in the AFL now.

 

[nurries]

Pav just said he is injured

Thumb injury should only keep him out this week

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Pav just said he is injured

Thumb injury should only keep him out this week

Yeah I saw, was in the paper this morning. I'm at the point where I'm not too concerned on any Darcy injury, seems to heal up within a quarter anyway

 

[mattis117]

Pav just said he is injured

Thumb injury should only keep him out this week

He would play it there were points up for grabs I reckon

 

[Purple dynamite]

The west deflection reporting for the big news about to drop out of the smeagol nest.

 

[Dayts]

Might be getting ahead of myself here but Sean Darcy looks like he's going to be unstoppable this year. He may be the strongest player in the AFL now.

View attachment 1333003

No doubting he’s fit and freaky strong but he still looks like he’s carrying a ton of baby-fat on him. Imagine what he will look like in 2 years! Just a big slab of muscles

Would like to see us moving the ball out of the back half immediately after turning over the opposition much quicker than we have over the last 2 seasons
Replacing momentum killers like Conca and Hughes with the likes of Clark, Walker and Young should see a big improvement in that area.
Forwards will benefit with more one on ones then.

 

[freo_leo29]

So Rogers, Schlensog, Cullen and Polson to train with us

No Strom or Wade Derkson who seemed an interesting proposition

I'd like a fwd that can ruck (in case Lobb goes down) so Schlensog or Polson for me

 

[Retzlaff]

Pav just said he is injured

Thumb injury should only keep him out this week

Great news to have Pav fit and available next week

Or, hopefully being hit on the tit on the lead!

He just loves getting a band-aid, a spray of the freeze spray and a ruffle of his hair and a jelly baby from the Doc then he's all good to go again.
