Mega Thread All things Pre-season: 2012.

[Aussiblood]

Ah Salim at last good stuff - my day can begin now.

 

[Seppo]

Fantastic news Salim.
If you take Morabito out of the equation, we could ultimately line up against Geelong with our best 22. Not many clubs could boast that leading into round 1.

 

[Righteo]

Cheers salim, we'd gone a while without a training report. Definitely need to make a permanent "Training Reports" thread when this gets closed down on Friday.

Good news re: Mundy but I've resigned myself to him not playing on Saturday.

 

[summerthebat]

Got nothing to add other than I want to get physical with Salim

 

[Nickos66]

Mmmm Hmmmm....

Forgot to mention Johnson, he did a few run throughs in rehab then joined the main group and trained well,looks fine for Sat

I think there is a difference between having our best 22 to pick from and having our best 22 that are 100% to choose from. what would you rather have, a Mundy that has not had any practice matches or match fitness and risk him being injured again because he is not right to go ( or even Barlow for that matter), or give an opportunity to someone like clancee pearce who has had a ripper of a pre season and would be chomping at the bit to prove himself and keep his spot. If Mundy plays he may push pearce out

I saw the video. He seems to have retained his pace and agility. I wonder how much game time he will get in the Ressies.

And there's a problem with that?

Powerful legs to balance his impressive set of fangs.

I see Todd Curley has resigned...not the best time of year to loose an assistant coach...who's in the mix to replace him?

 

[jedi mind tricks]

And there's a problem with that?

Yes because if Mundy isn't match fit and is unable to be effective in the clearences then we don't have our best 22 out playing. When Mundy is match fit then he shuld be playing.

 

[Falkon]

Unusual time to leave, im inclined to believe he was sacked.

Peter Bell would be good. I doubt he would though.

 

[Freo Shark]

Oh, so its special benefits for sexual favours is it?

Very funny Reg, you see you can see the lighter side of life even if there was a touch of sarcasm in it.

 

[JunglistPosse]

Belly would be a good pick up.

 

[Dudley Leopard]

Muddy Waterman for me

 

[apuchar]

Full on session this morning,1/2 ground and full ground match sims for most of it
They worked hard on getting through the press,also worked hard on keeping the press
Missing were Anthony,Crosier,Walters,Roberts,Mitchie
Rehab only incl Spurr and Forster,
Main group incl Silvagni,Grover,Mundy,Barlow,Mora,Neale,Griff who all trained well,thought Clark was good and was clunking his marks,shoe in for SAt I reckon
Cannot see why Barlow and Mundy would not front up Sat,both looked great
This would be as close toa full strength squad that I can remember,we are looking healthy and in good form ,cant wait to see how we line up against the Cats

I gather Walter's is still in exile?

 

[Lach72]

Nice little sideways dodge in that vid by Mora. Looks confident on the knee.

 

[salim malik]

Mora kicked a great goal front and centre and twisting thru a pretty heavy pack
Showed plenty of confidence in the knee

 

[wild side]

Competition for midfield spots is going to be intense soon.
Mundy, Morabito, Barlow, Ballantyne, Fyfe, Broughton, Neale, Lower that's a pretty impressive group.
Jeez I felt good looking at the injury list and seeing only 5 players on it.
Been a long time since that has happened.

 

[Arcassius]

Unusual time to leave, im inclined to believe he was sacked.

Have you ever held down a job?

 

[yakka man]

Mora doesn't expect to be getting a game for a while though.

 

[Spirit Level]

I am getting real excited for this season now. The injury list is the smallest its been in ages (touch wood) and Ross has things looking up

Bring on Geelong
