Whose it meant to be?

You know, I can't remember. But they (not Gilbee) were speculating about Bob Murphy retiring.

If you take out his 2 possession game where he got injured, he's averaging over 20 touches a game.

The thing I liked the most was hearing he was notching up top
speeds again with his running, the mental scares are slowly being healed by the sounds of it, surely the ankle injury wouldn't be a setback mentally

Yeah the first month back they had him on limited minutes and intensity, you can probably tell by the lull in his numbers. However the second half of the year they've got him basically going 100% without restriction. Fairly confident the hamstring issues are behind him now, he played 15 consecutive weeks (in VFL and/or dev) and he hasn't done that since his junior days.

From memory he only played about a quarter of that round 5 game where he got 9 disposals and 4 tackles, too. Whichever game it was he was on track for a very good one.

Great to see Freezer is leaving no stone unturned to succeed. Hope he can stay major injury free from now on. Look forward to what he can bring to the Saints in coming years. His numbers over the last half of the season once he was allowed to play full games was very encouraging. With another preseason of conditioning into him, he should be cherry ripe Round 1 in 2018

It will be a big plus for the club if he can get up and running for next season because the guy has talent

That was great snooping

 

[Brains Trust66]

The important thing about his games this year was not totally about the amount of disposals, although that helps for confidence, but that he got through so many games on the Trott until Armo fell on his leg . Hopefully he will be full of confidence in his body next season . I want to see him murder Collingwood especially all those supporters who laughed at the Saints for picking him up . Also it will be a great success story for our medical team if he makes it in the AFL.

Is that Nathan there on Big Footy?

Don't call him Freo. For some reason it makes him seem dirty and scummy.

Funny enough, it was one of my pies supporting mates that tagged me in the post. He's still a bit pissed by us getting Freezer...

Was told yesterday Stkilda have made Nathan not do this now all off everything done with the club

it is much safer to do this through the club - they have all the medical and training history and they have the best interests of the player at heart

Actually think also this is a good move given the investment of time by club too

I hate the campaigner, but his methods are very good. Got a very good track record of keeping all of his athletes healthy and injury free.

Why do you hate him?

 

[saint66au]

SO he went to this bloke Woodford without running it past the Club first? Not ideal and Id imagine the Club wouldnt have been overjoyed

If that was the case....I'm guessing the club would have been horrified when they found out.
