Training Pre-season 2019

[Vdubs]

No. Is it better? Like Voltaren cause it doesn't burn, but it's not really doing the job.

People swear by it, not at it. Meant to be for animals. Footy players fit the bill I guess.

Cool, I might give it a go myself. If it's good enough for animals, it's good enough for me lol.

I haven't written him off this year- that was last year. He has to prove his way back in. Tough road.

If he's fit the road is smooth.

 

[Vdubs]

Crockatoo until he proves otherwise.
Sadly, I smell Linc, Menzel, Vardy and Cowan with our #5.

Better check with your health provider first, assuming it's not a vet!

Yea but you're a natural born cynic.

 

[Shadow89]

Serious mate, you and a few others have written him off from a media article. That's the definition of a major overreaction.

Seriously 'mate', you need to just relax a little. I haven't come to this conclusion from just '1' media article, I've come to this conclusion from 4 years of less than 10 full games a year, numerous media reports and club statements He's injury prone, and he just got another injury, no matter how small it is. It's not an outlandish statement, it's an insight that you disagree with. That's fine, but stop taking a hostile approach when someone disagrees with your evaluation of the situation. I see it as important in the context of his pre-season, career and contract. You don't. That's fine, and I respect that. But don't just quash others because you see it differently.

We don't know how it'll play out yet. I probably shouldn't have used the term 'game, set and match' as that's disrespectful to Cockatoo, so I apologize for that aspect, but I do feel that this weakens his chances of his pre-season not being hampered. Which then limits his chances of him stringing together enough games. Which then limits his chances of getting another contract. That's my view, and I do sincerely hope it's incorrect for the club and the player's sake.

I think you're the one who needs to relax. You wrote him off from a media headline.

He'll be right.

 

[Vdubs]

Yea but you're a natural born cynic.

As if you'd know that.
We go to the same games year in year out.
You see his potential, and you are swayed by that.
I see his extreme lack of resilience, and I am swayed by that.
Simple.
We see the same player yet see different things

Literally just explained how that's not the case -

"I haven't come to this conclusion from just '1' media article, I've come to this conclusion from 4 years of less than 10 full games a year"

This is getting cyclical, so I'll leave it there.

 

[Grumpy Cat]

Those calling for the calves blood, should remember that's a banned substance now.

Reading between the lines I think Nakia's issue might be a great excuse to miss the indigenous camp.

He should be able to go camping, as long as they don't play footy

You're a cynic mate. Everyone can see that.

Hence my overreaction reply mate. The sky isn't falling.

 

[Vdubs]

That'd be a compliment, but trust me, I'm a realist.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Na you're a cynic. A true blue one too. Glass half empty kinda guy. That's ok.

 

[Vdubs]

Only when my thoughts aren't in sync with yours, but that's ok. You've got to judge somehow.

Na mate, my thoughts are irrelevant. You're a cynic.

Yeah it is banned after the french soccer player became a vampire after having calves blood

 

[Partridge]

No that would be me. VD is a beacon of optimism by comparison.

And the glass isn’t half empty - it’s fallen off the bench and smashed.

Cockatoo needs to get fit, and establish form in the VFL before being selected. He doesn’t deserve automatic selection yet.

Yep plenty more cynical than Vdubs. I know I am.

 

[Landgraft]

So far what I'm learning is that any injury to Cocky, no matter how minor, should be taken as proof that he will literally never play football again and should instead be taken out back and shot.

Good to see the reactions are proportionate as always.

 

[Stan The Caddy]

Yeah I read that. Hopefully it looks like he'll be ok. It was a definitive statement for Chris Scott.
This is how he says 2E wants to play round one but they'll have to see how he pulls up.
"I'm outlining his wishes, my view is whether it's round one or two it doesn't matter."
"It depends how he's running. We don't have a fixed mindset in that decision making."
FFS. Could be an area manager for a government agency if coaching ever falls through.

Whenever Scott tries to play something down it always makes me more worried!

 

[you pick one]

Pretty definitive statement by Scott

There will be no carb..... sorry that wasn't him.

 

[you pick one]

Apologies, never again.
Btw though, where was JOM in their most important game of the year last year?

Regardless there wouldn't be one poster here that wouldn't be doing handstand if we could get 21 games out of Cocky this season at the level Jaeger performed.
