[sij1981]

So have you worked out what quokka soccer is then?

Trust me you dont want to know !!!

 

[Dockernut]

Bump! Just noticed that he's been listed as only 2-3 weeks away on the club website. YAYAW!

 

[free at last]

So fingers crossed for the lad.

 

[GreatEffort]

Yeeeeeew!

As Mundy would say.

 

[Fred Ziffel]

Just spotted Mora in the crowd at the team huddle on the ground at Peel v Perth game.

The commentators where saying during the broadcast that he's been spending quite a bit of time with the peel boys .

If that was true he would be playing now.

Still 2 apparently.

Ross said that the number of weeks is a meaningless indicator, there's no fixed date coimg back from a knee. I doubt there is any chance of Mora playing with Freo this year. A couple of turnouts for Peel the best hope.

while i was arguing dead against this about 2 months ago, i have also come around to this line of thinking

 

[sumavich]

Isn't he out of contract at year's end ??

 

[BananaOnTheRun]

Isn't he out of contract at year's end ??

yep.

i reckon he'll be back for finals.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Yeh, if he stays fit he will be given a new contract. I assume they are just waiting until the end of year, with the hope he plays a couple of games for peel and looks good. doesn't injury himself.

 

[Nickos66]

As long as he's still not participating in contact drills in training - he'll remain as 2 weeks away.

Training Report

A cold but sunny morning greeted us all at Fremantle Oval today with good news to report for all the Morabito freaks out there.

Mora's work load has now increased to include some contact work with a trainer, plus he did a lot more work with the main group today than what he usually does.

Then whilst we were hanging over the fence in the car park watching the others train, Mora decided block our view of the team's training session by standing right in front of us when he did these 100 metre sprints along the boundary line.

After doing each 100 metre sprint, Mora would then rest for 30 seconds right in front of us until his heart rate slowed enough before completing yet another 100 metre sprint. So we all saw this as an opportunity to interrupt Mora's training session with a series of short, sharp and sometimes personal questions on how things are going with his rehab.

He said it should be two weeks until he has a run with Peel and said that he couldn't wait to resume full training with the rest of the guys. I then said, "The Peel ressies could do with you at moment Mora, as Brad Bootsma doesn't want to have to keep pulling the boots on."

Then Salim Malik interrupted me by screaming out, "Bugger the Peel ressies Mora, we need you out there for Freo!"

Mora then quietly laughed before sprinting away from the maniacs on the fence line.

The rest of the side trained well today with the biggest absentee being Michael Johnson. I am expecting to see Alex Silvagni come in for him.

I counted 31 on the park today and those on light duties earlier were Chris Mayne, Luke McPharlin, Clancee Pearce, Lee Spurr and Zac Dawson.

Pav and Sandi trained well, as did Ballas, Zac Clarke, Ryan Crowley and Son-Son.

Paul Duffield and Hayden Crozier only did some light ball work today and taking the kick-ins in place of Duff was Ibbo today.

But then the smell of Bratwurst cooking from the nearby Freo Markets had me, so I had to sneak out of the ground to go and get one before anyone spotted me.

However one bite in saw my shoes covered in tomato sauce, mustard, fried onions and sauerkraut, but it was still worth it.

Thanks Harry, for all those who havent read the training thread here is the latest on Morabito

 

[couldhavebeen]

We saw him at training today and he was full beans and in good humor .
Salam and the boys had a short conversatuion with him and we told him he would need ear plugs when he ran out onto the ground cause the roar would be that loud and the smile was across his whole face

Good post mate.

 

[basashi]

Still got two....

 

[Malc]

I go to Europe in 4 weeks and I'm really keen to see him run out for Peel before I go!

 

[Nickos66]

In that case, he should be down to 1 week by the time you get back.

 

[Malc]

Wouldn't mind seeing his return when I get back. Considering I fly directly from Oktoberfest in Munich to the AFL GF in Melbourne!

Wouldn't that just top off the trip!

 

[Nickos66]

If you were aiming to make me cry, mission accomplished.

 

[Harry Reems]

He trained with the main group today and looked great. He then went back to his usual runs along the boundary line, however this week his pace and work load has been increased.

Gettin' close gang.

Oktoberfest happens in September now?

 

[Nickos66]

It always has, hasn't it?
