[60 Yards Out]

Is that the same as joined at the hip?

Not quite, but similar. In my day, joining at the hip used to lead to marriage anyway— at least in some circles.

Ironically once you're married your hips never touch

 

[HFF]

Probably not the place to ask this but I’m shocked that there is no new 2025 apparel from the club and Nike yet.
Where’s the 2025 merch in terms of hoodies and beanies, training gear,
etc.
All they have done is drop the 2025 jumper and clash jumper as well as one new grey t shirt and we are less than a month out from the season

It’s very disappointing on all fronts from the club and its sponsor partner.

Not quite true, the hip pocket gets touched regularly.

Are we the only club with no new apparel? Just the 2025 jumpers and t-shirt

Swans fans have complained about the same thing, just looking at one of their boards.

Seems piss poor really. Aren’t we big enough for these flog companies to prioritise?

Really hope we drop them ASAP, surely we finally get Adidas back

I think the community camp might be the reason for a 5pm start tomorrow. Possibly a late return for the players meaning no early start the next morning.

Definitely no special event on tomorrow, just normal match sim I reckon.

Nah, i've been told its because they want to prepare for practice games starting at a similar time.

Ah that’s fair enough. Smart move.

I’ll be preparing with a cold one at 5pm.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Seriously, it seems like we have a lot of niggles and injury risk coming from impact / collision during our match sim. I wonder if at some point during the preseason there is less value in doing more match sim and more value in the non-contested parts of development (running and skills) to minimise risk of injury. I'm just waiting to hear that someone has done a knee or shoulder.

Pendles has spoken about this. I posted this article in the thread a few days ago.

Scott Pendlebury reveals major shift in Collingwood training to prevent concussion

"I have found for us there’s been a lot less contact, some of the drills we’ve taken out as well to avoid those."

Tbf they didn’t even start to do match sim until a couple weeks ago.
We have had no injuries come from match sim this preseason that I’m aware.

They’ve already altered the program significantly to reduce the chances of impact injuries and concussion. Sometimes it’s unavoidable, it’s a contact sport and if you practice without contact completely you’re going to be smashed to bits during the season.
We’re actually in a pretty good position compared to a lot of other teams on the injury front.

Get Jordy and Titch up and rolling and we're looking sweet

 

[Big Bryza]

Exactly. You think you are prepared, but footy can be cruel sometimes
Like we let Adams go end of 2023 when he could have been handy last year with our injuries.
Its the risk you take.

That was 100% his choice.

 

[sr36]

Pure athlete. His skills look good too. Once he gets some experience I think he’ll be a handy player

I thought Tew was surprisingly composed in the VFL last year too. Improve his kicking and add the core strength he needs and then look out.

Scott Pendlebury Names The Collingwood Recruit Who’s Been “Best On Ground” In Pre-Season Match Sims

Scott Pendlebury has revealed the new Collingwood recruit who he says has been “best on ground by far” in the Pies’ pre-season match sims.

articles.listnr.com

Pendles rating Perryman the most impressive recruit in match simulations. He's feeling Luke Ball vibes, which is handy while there are concerns with how many games Mitchell will play, and if De Goey needs more of a split forward

They love eating at Etta on Swan so we'll do that after
