Does anyone know if Devon Smith has been training as a forward or mid this preseason?

yes

 

[Runk]

yes

such a smart arse. luv it.

This isn't a bad thing. We're generally one of the dumbest teams in the comp in wet weather or slippery conditions. Let's see if we persist with playing dry weather footy or whether we adapt.

Just watch and smile. Don’t expect anything

 

[Shanghaistu]

Is Cutler in the squad today? Thought he was BOG in the practice game last weekend

Some commentary around that he is injured or something, someone spotted him with the modified group at training. We're not really sure what the deal is yet afaik, but he's not named.

 

[quotemokc]

Couldn't blame the club for not playing senior players in what will be a wet slog

 

[Beerfish]

Not looking too bad atm. Far from ideal but yeah..

 

[Lore]

Okay so with the VFL practice squad announced we still have two unaccounted for, Redman and Cahill.

The ones we either know or assume to be recovering from injuries:
Bellchambers (knee), Daniher (groin), Cutler (?), Stewart (groin), Heppell (foot), Hooker (hip), Ambrose (PCL), Gown (foot), Johnson (ACL), Draper (ACL), Hibberd (knee)

Also I started updating the new spreadsheet and such, for anyone that follows it. There are five or six that won't be ready for round 1 (Ambrose, Gown, Draper, Daniher, Johnson, and probably Stewart, who they never actually talk about).

 

[The Dustbin]

The team is in!


Francis Hurley Gleeson
Ridley Margaret McBride
Zakka McGrath Guelfi
Smith Laverde Mosquito
Fanta McKernan Tippa

Phillips Shiel Merrett

Bench from: Parish Langford Ham Jones Townsend Snelling Lockyer Teakle



A few missing but will be good to get a look at a few new faces in Jones, Mosquito, Teakle, Lockyer & McBride


Comon Dons!!

This will be interesting.

You could have left it at that TBH.

RIP Tom.

Could there be anything more disapointing than waiting 5 months for some footy, then hearing Der-wayne open the telecast...

 

[Lore]

.

Did you take these with your phone? Bloody huge haha.

Looks like you have a good vantage point though, and nice to see Shiel stopping to sign an autograph looks like.

Nope. Nothing. Other than an acl 5 mins in (sorry to the superstisious)

Looks like he forgot to pack his hair products actually.

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Booooo

I dont mind a huddo call, hes alright. Probably a bit too over excited near goal but I feel thats probably an afl house direction

Probably signing a startrack delivery for them

 

[windyhill]

They look huge compared to us. As usual.
