Training Pre-season 2019

[Jhye Clark 13]

Cool. I'd already thought he missed the draft. Didn't know he had another year to go.

He's playing an over ager.

The views on women’s footy are far and wide and I think there’s many aspects to it that extend beyond the actual AFLW matches themselves.

It’s the smartest thing the AFL have done as it will get many young girls interested in footy, and thus secures them future members.

But alas let’s get back to discussing preseason 2019 I think.

I agree, smartest thing they've done since going national.

Ah fair enough.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Tom Hawkins 2nd pick in the AFLX draft. Thanks Danger.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Now Tim Kelly.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

And now Blicavs.

All picked by Danger or across the teams?

All I want to see from this night is no injures and the night scraped from for future years

Danger picked Hawkins and Blicavs.

Kelly is on the indigenous team.

At least they are our durable players.

I thought about this and was initially worried but I realised they will be given time off training for this and probably miss a session of match sim. So in that sense I don't think they are any more or less likely to get injured

I'm not sure Ablett will be that valuable as a forward given he struggles to get his arms above his head. Time will tell.

How many marks can he get before someone does something to upset the shoulders? Crumbing ..chest marks etc sure but I think he may better elsewhere..

Blicavs and Hawkins are on Danger's team and Kelly is on Betts' indigenous team.

How can anyone set out to select a team based on race yet it not be called racist.

Exactly. I've been arguing this for years with the Aboriginal all-stars.

Why was the comp's best player not selected?
Dusty, I refer to of course.

.

He's captain of the bolts and can't be picked twice.

Oversight....I dont know.

Maybe the plan is for him to just float through the F50 and shark the packs, take the quick snap, rather than be a straight up marking target?

Good one.
Is Dusty injured, unavailable?
If this is to showcase the best, there must be Dusty in one of those "teams"
Buddy of course is.

I've been away for about 40-50 pages; might just do the same [emoji849]

Whilst I also think Gaz could play back like he did in the 3rdQ V Eagles am very excited about him spending time forward.
Should definitely kick a few but could also do a SJ and rack up plenty of goal assists - good move by the Club

And he is 34 years old, father time comes for them all you just never know when or if the wheels will come off.

Primarily protecting him with really short burst in the midfield.

He can be really effective Brent Harvey played forever well I can see ablett in that type of role

Dusty generally snorts coke in the off-season so maybe he's on a binge.

They had to nominate, Dusty probably just chose not to.

That or he's quietly injured.

I tend to agree but I think the most apt comment regarding G Jr is write off champions at your peril. I have done it enough to learn it often burns you. You can make a strong argument that he is quite simply the greatest player ever to pull on football boots so just everyone should just chill with the great man. Regardless of anything else it is so fantastic to see him end his career here! ABLETT'S are well ABLETT'S and we ****ing love them!!!

I agree I'm not writing him off I still think he will be effective for geelong.

How effective will be upto him like all veterans it's about the big moments. He isn't going to be able to take over games or play big minutes on ball anymore.

Just plays his role and with that much talent good things happen. Hopefully he stays healthy that's no.1
