Apples' Training Reports

[Saintly Viewed]

Imagine how good our midfield/forward line would be with him fit and firing. Oh well, it was worth the risk, I guess.

With a fit Wells .....
We'd be even better, imagine the havoc in opposition defences with Wells perfect passing

And I still remember how he roved for a goal earlier this year -- it was scintillating.

It sounds like all of Howe, Moore, Goldsack and Treloar will be available to play. That's fantastic news. It gives us the opportunity to make some decisions about the backline. Treloar gives us another potential match winner. Happy days!

Would it be unusual to make 4 changes from long term injuries?

If Moore and Howe are fit we won't be picking Goldsack

Goldy would be a risk anyway. Am shocked hearing how upbeat Bucks was concerning him. Think Howe, Appleby and Treloar an outside chance.

Moore too much of a risk and if he breaks down again, our chances against the Weagles are hurt and his trade value goes down even more.

Agree, he's a fair way back at the moment in my eyes. Moore is definitely ahead of him, he's about on par with Reid in my opinion.

 

[Adz]

I thought Reid, like Elliott was done?

Why?

 

[Sea fog]

Why?

He hasn't played all year and is coming off an ACL. He said after last week's game that he is way off the mark.

Reid hasn't played for a while and is made of glass.

 

[Quicky]

Would it be unusual to make 4 changes from long term injuries?

Yes. But I didn't suggest that. I just pointed out we had options available which is good news for us. Not sure i'd classify Howe as a long term injury either. I can see two of Moore, Goldsack and Treloar returning similar to WCE vs us earlier in the year. Plus Howe.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

I thought Reid, like Elliott was done?

He was declared out for the season on the day he did his calf a few weeks back, but a week later he was back training and the club said there is an ever so slightly possibility of him coming back.

It is far too big a risk NOT to play Moore. Kennedy would destroy Madgen, Langdon or Howe-he is simply too big and powerful. The number of frees he would win because our undersized boys would be grappling and chopping would be record breaking.

Sounds like Coxy's gonna have a field day this week then!

I think because he’s only 6 months off a reconstruction. He may have built up the strength in and around his knee but the fact is the graft will still be weak and the risk of re-rupturing remains high.

Goldy body does not concern me. If it was just that I'd play him without question. The issue is that he has a long history of being awful coming off a spell.

 

[barrackers]

Has Daniel Wells been sighted lately? Is he still in a moon boot?

No moon boot at the VFL today, looking trim too

Bucks’ response had been quite realistic - along the lines of ‘FFS, he’s just back from an ACL, are you for real???’ but then he probably reflected on the mistake he made with Ben Reid (writing Reid’s season off when Reid clearly intended to come back and was working hard to do so) so Bucks probably thought it best to just play the game.

Would rather reid or moore over goldsack

Goldy was way out of touch,imo,in the twos.
Howe will def come back and I wouldn't be surprised if Treloar joins him in WA.

I got the feeling Treloar plays, Bucks has seemed to have kept a bit of a lid on it, saying its unlikely he will get up. But I rekon that's pushing Treloar harder to get back. He is our best player, and has trained without fault the last few sessions from all reports. If the risk of re-injuring himself is low he simply has to play.

I reckon wild horses couldn't keep Treloar away from Optus Stadium on Saturday

Medicos do not ride wild horses unfortunately.

 

[noideaatall]

Treloar, Howe and Moore. Roll the dice. If they play the best they have been all year we need to play the best we have been. Without something more down back we are unlikely to make it.

Pendles was just on radio and said Moore wouldn’t be playing this weekend.
