Is the soft drink sugar free?

and high in electrolytes...

just as long as its not red cordial - that'll keep them up all night

 

[Paracleet]

They're allowed to drink though right? Just only on the evening before off days and not at all when injured right?

Very much doubt they would be allowed (or want to) drink alcohol the night before a game.

Ross has said , Alcohol is only permitted during off season. Once pre-season training starts, that's the end of it.

Back on topic, so its:

In: Pav, Griff, Sherridan
Out: Keps, Afro Boy, MdB

I think these changes are about helping the team to maintain the rage against Melbourne and getting Pav finals fit. So changes in the engine room for 2 players who really want to prove themselves for different reasons and of course Pav will take 3 of their defenders, maybe 4 Although after last week it will be pretty interesting to see how teams strategise against the Fremantle forward line. All the talk prior to Sundays game was 'where are the goals coming from?' then 20 goals appeared. BAM! Still a game that requires hunger and sdetermination as at AFL level any team is good enough to beat any other team on their day.

So no beer allowed in the fridge at home? I'd like to see how that would be policed.

Impossible to police but they would be more professional than that.
Their career is on the line, essentially.

I think fact that Ross Lyon has told the players not to do it should be enough. I would do as he said (within reason......yes i'd turn gay for Pav) if he was my coach.

Wouldn't you?

No way they would even think to try to police it - these are professional players. Ross will be building an attitude within them of being totally professional about not hindering their performance and following team rules. They will self regulate to a large extent and there will be huge peer pressure (positive attitude and direction) from other teammates (just like military) to act in their own and teams best interests. Those found wanting performance and attitude wise, or if anything against team rules comes to light - will suffer the consequences - we as supporters may not know it but it will be happening - can easily think of a few examples since Ross has arrived.

Uncompromising attitude is the only acceptable attitude.

Wow um... I saw SonSon out drinking after the Richmond game around Swan View.

SHHHHHHH.........

 

[muckypup]

These are, by and large, 18-30 year old guys who train there asses off. The steam is gonna come out somewhere. Having said that I am sure they are very professional and I havent seen anything to make me think otherwise.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Yep I see Crowls having a drink or two at he Raffles every now and then - big deal, it's not the devil in moderation.

 

[StingBitten]

Boonie put away 52 cans on the Ashes flight to England..... how many could a Docker put away after a finals win at the MCG? I'm going to say 3.

Must be on much better money than I gave him credit for.

i'd back balla to put away 53 before he left the qantas lounge....

 

[RickSanchez]

Probably a dumb question, but since Geelong v Sydney and Nth v GWS are before us, will that have any bearing on whether Pav (and possibly others) will be late outs?
Say if Geelong won and North were dominating? North game will still be going on I think before final teams/changes must be announced.

According to Ross?? No chance.

According to the rest of the world? yes.
