Apparently Bomber mentioned in a "presser" today so I'm safe to post the news without drawing too much attention from the opposition.

I'm told from my reliable source that geelong may well go into friday nights game without Mooney unless he's 100% ..... at this stage the medical staff have told Bomber he's 50/50 and have suggested another week.

You'll remember a few weeks back the coach said they would aim at giving players an extra week on top of the normal break for routine injuries (refer Chapman - Mackie - Ottens as recent examples). I think Hawkins will get another chance as Mooney will propably miss - especially with the 6 day break working against him.

I think it's a smart move at this stage of the season.

Have'nt been able to get confirmation on Chapman but he's done everything at training this week.

Not bad news, cheers.

By the way, what exactly is Mooney's injury?
 
I notice you say Chappy is likely to play... is that serious or is he still in doubt? Worried about him coming back and tearing us a new one!

How has his training been?
 
I really want to see Lonergan play another in the seniors, the kidney game he had 15 touches and 6 marks and I really thought he had just 'made' it as an AFL player and was going to take off as a KF.

It was the first time he'd shown that he was capable of playing AFL football. But he played the game in defence, so I'm not sure where you got key forward from, because he'd never shown anything special up there before.

Well if he was playing as a defender that game then alright, we agree he looked like a player. He's only played 8 games and kicked 8 goals. I am quite sure at some stage in the prior 4 years he's done something as a forward.
 
Glassjaw said:
If he names his source then chances are he will no longer be privy to any information, so really, why bother asking?

Doubt the guy when he gets one wrong.

Due to the nature of his 'reveals' wouldn't their source become apparent to them sooner rather than later?

With respect, Jumping Jack, credit will come when you post things in advance. Credit will not be forthcoming when you post something that has just been announced at the presser.

If you know it before the presser, post it up. If you don't want other clubs to know, use the private forum (Scratching Post). If you don't have SP access, ask a mod.

He brought us Lonergan in for Mooney 24 hours ahead last week.
 
Anyone had the opportunity to get down to training for a REAL update on Mooney, Chapman Hunt? :)

Did you see any VFL games last year (inc the grand final - 6 goals and BOG) ?

Also, was clearly part of forward structure planning during trial games in pre-season.

I hate to steal Jumpin Jack's thunder, but he was an hour late on the Mooney out Lonergan in news...

JJ posted an hour later.....

That is all :D

That's fantastic ......... only one thing I'd point out though.

You quoted a mate ............. i quoted one of the players involved as confirmation that it was FACT (not if / but maybe)

Can I just say for the record ... this is not some sort of competition to outdo each other on "news" ..... as I've said many times in recent posts ... if I've got something worthwhile I'll share it - otherwise I'll keep my mouth shut.

All trained well. See training thread for further info.

You'll recall also that Mooney trained well the week before but did'nt play .... the difference being that he has'nt done the "full bore" competitive work that will test the shoulder.

Same applies this week which is why he's quoted as 50/50 from my source (who has'nt let me down for a long time).

He may very well play ........ so don't shoot the messenger. Will propably be selected so in any case we won't know until 7.30 tomorrow night perhaps.

JUB JUB - Did you read my post ? I stated in black and white that it was mentioned in Bombers press conference ...... the purpose of my thread was to state that he was 50/50 and also confirm that I had had this information passed onto me by my source which pretty much outlined that Bomber was not "playing games" as was recently the case with Ottens.

I'm not after any "hero points" on BF or crying out for any credibility awards .......... just sharing what I'm told (when I'm able to).

I just wish I'd posted when I was told at lunchtime (before it was released to the media) ........ i'll know better next time.

This isn't a case of shooting the messenger mate, I have believed all your news thus far, and have no reason to stop doing so now. Just reporting what I saw - though you are right about the competitive stuff. Only two that had any contact today was Ottens and Blake.
