Are you even a Pies Fan as all you done this Pre-Season Kappa is Bag Collingwood and Collingwood Players
If that's all you see TD, it's not really "bagging" when you're stating the obvious.

I'm not too far off a 7:30 2km and I'm not an athlete.

I wouldn't be surprised if ruckmen at other clubs were getting close to 6:30.


Would it make you feel better if I said Grundy was running brilliantly?

What's wrong with pointing out that Grundy will struggle to compete with the elite running ruckman around the ground unless he himself improves his ability to cover the ground? Not a very controversial statement I would have thought.

However, ruckman like Goldstein are extremely rare. That's what makes them so good. I'm confident Grundy's aerobic capacity at this stage of his career is adequate when competing against most rucks. Just not the elite. Obviously it's something he should hopefully to improve as he progresses through his career. He's already shown his capacity to play like an extra midfielder.

You put too much stock in time trials.

I think you need to whipe your chin sweetheart xo :rolleyes::p:thumbsu:
Seriously Popin, you need to move on from your targeting of every comment Kappa posts. It is just getting out of control, uncalled for, and distracts too many threads. I don't know about anyone else, but I am getting a bit over it.

If you don't like him as a poster (and clearly you don't) why don't you just hit the ignore button?

So Treloar is still just Running?



Could this because of the Injury that Neil Reported last month?
Yeah, Treloar looks miles off. Doesn't even look to running well, although that may be a function of his running style. He has a bit of Swan about him, I think. Regardless, he doesn't look like he is going all that smoothly

With Aish, I'd say it is a good chance he is being held back due to that injury last month.

What I read from you and others I am not 100% Convinced he will play NAB Challenge.

With the Lack of Pre-Season he will not make a Huge Impact Early.

Did Aish look like he was Running Okay?

God when Grundy has to play against Blivacs Goldstein ect it isn't going to be pretty, he really needs to improve his running.
I seem to recall Grundy holding his own pretty well against both Goldstein and Blicavs in his last two outings against each - 15+ disposals, 20+ hitouts and a goal against each. No doubt both Goldstein and Blicavs played good games too, but it's not like Grundy was absolutely smashed.

Plus we won both games, which helps.

I'd be surprised if Treloar plays in NAB Cup - hasn't even touched a ball in a contested drill yet from what I can see.

Aish looked like he was running okay, what was his reported injury again? Didn't seem to have any issue with running, but came out when there was going to be contact (and also had shoulder strapping), so I wouldn't be surprised if it was shoulder.

He came off late touching Somewhere on his Leg though Neil said it did not look very Serious
