Training 2025 Pre-Season chat

[CatToTheFuture]

I'm hoping so, I've been pretty distracted renovating a house with 3 kids and have barely had time to gaze into Bailey Smith's flowing mullet let alone engage in list management politics.

You know, on reflection Cataholic, I think the Hawks winning just ruined footy for the week

Premiership favourites apparently

Imma gonna go with catempire 's prediction. I wanna believe!

Thinking Zach G may be in a bit of discomfort when trying to sit down tonight

Great pic, that one. Particularly the fact that it shows a key player for us (who is supposedly under an injury cloud right now) absolutely launching at the footy.

Seems like Ollie is every chance of being right to play next weekend, based on that evidence.

I was going to start a thread titled "What do you want to see this season?"

But I figure I'll just post my thoughts here.

What I'd really love to see. Really, really love to see. And it won't happen, but please, indulge me. Is Tom Stewart given an on/off tagging role on Nick Daicos.

If he thinks Bedford was a handful, Stewart would absolutely grind him into dust.

Stewart doesn’t have the discipline to stay on his man in defensive 50, so not sure how he would go as a tagger.

Any observations of Burke on the training track, and any news on how he's settling in?

I think we have every reason to be sure. It almost certainly wouldn't be good.

Still, he would potentially go down in footy folklore as the most talented player ever to play as a tagger. Would be on the podium, at the very least.

Should it be that if you don't know the answer to this question that you shouldn't be in line for the captaincy?




Also, is this suggesting we'll finally be hearing our full song

Let's face it, if you know the second verse to the National Anthem, that's unAustralian and you should have your passport shredded.

We got taught the second verse at primary school and had to sing that - so I know some of it

But more importantly - who knows the original, 'Pro-British' second verse or the 3rd & 4th verses

Dors anybody know what the news is about the Cats on The Agenda Setters?? Ch 7 mate and ch 7 plus on tonight.

 

[Cataholic]

I wonder what impact, if any, the swirling rumours around individual players, Scott, and our salary cap are having on the playing / coaching group?

I'd hope that the club or the playing group have got together, discussed what's going on (no doubt they'd be aware of the rumours) and reaffirm the message of, "we know our truths, let's focus on what we can control, stick together as a group through this period and prove the doubters wrong"


Almost just need to kinda adapt the serenity pray:

“GOD grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.”


Control what we can and know that those who want to spread rumours will do so no matter what is said type thing

You're confusing discipline with role.

Zero.

I think if you gave him the job he'd do it with aplomb.

Just someone big who's fast enough to keep up, can make him earn it and don't be targeted by opposition also Bedford.

Maybe a fast O'Connor.

Maybe Mullin?

Q9 Mark2.

He is the Q9 mark 2

Any more injuries to rucks and I'll be having a fit

What is it about Geelong and ruck injuries.
Brad Ottens nearly destoys his manhood with a metal stake through the groin. Conway coughs in bed and hurts his back.
Whats next, exploding rucks Spinal Tap style?

I'm just happy Mitch Edwards is back playing after he arrived at the club and later that day did his back. I assume he did it signing his contract. Those pens are heavy

 

[Tony Barber]

Interesting that Lawson just said he's spent the summer working on his length when kicking down the line.
Then he told a lie. 'I'm a bit unco kicking on my left'.

I want to be that unco.

I think our Club and culture is more than capable of not overreacting to a routine Audit

Not just an audit in play though.

 

[catempire]

Let's say the over/under for Danger in 2025 is 20 goals for the season. Would anyone be willing to take the over on that?

Sportsbet would be paying out already.
