How is Ottens going??

[nut]

Not a troll just Curious how the big bloke is going. Is he fit and playing well in the practise matches????

 

[BlueNWhite]

Has not played in any practice matches to date. Is on a modified rehab program and should be right for round 1.

 

[Jack-Packenham]

According to reports from the club he trained well this week and may play in next weeks round2 nab cup game or regional challenge match.

Ottens will be a very good player if he can get fit. Problem is that back Injuries are very hard to get over so ie. Gary Lyon.
If he does came good than you have one of the best players in the competition. If he doesn't than you will have a handy player that will contribute.

I believe the correct terminology for Ottens at this time is "in cotton wool". Has been moving freely, and his absence from the field is merely a new philosophy Geelong have finally adopted that keeps injured or underdone players on the sidelines until such time as they are fit.

Spot on. All the talk early was the past mis-handling of our big blokes and how can we handle them better in 2006. Ottens looked fit as a fiddle first session back after new years. He didn't join the main group but did stationary skils and proceeded to do about an hour and a half of sprints. Don't forget that he played in the unofficial practice match prior to the official ones started and took a few strong grabs. And you can't tell me that the look of Kingy in some of the recent shots doesn't excite you (the fact that he's as big as an ox and looks super fit, not in the gay way.........not that there's anything wrong with that). That could also be the reason behind H not playing so far despite not actually being listed as injured. He did drop off a bit at the end of the year in 05 (maybe broken jaw, maybe just the rigors of a full season) and I'm sure that the coaching staff want him and all the big blokes to be Cherry Ripe for round 1.

I think the term is "why risk him in the Fat Rats Cup".

No you don't.
But keep kidding yourself.
It's mildly amusing.

Good to hear they're getting the big man ready to fire for round 1. There's no need to test him out in the NAB. I hope they keep that philosophy going for the rest of the year.

You guys are so funny.
When was the last time Geelong won a grand final?
I think it was before the Vietnam war even started wasn't it....giggle.. giggle.

Squeel like a pig!

I thought it was wonderful when Richmond hired Terry Wallace, a proven premiership coach who took the Bulldogs to their first flag since... oh, right.

I remember now, The doggies never made a grand final under Terry. Then Terry broke contract and ran when he realised the pressure would be too much. Fantastic character, that plough.
