Pre-season training

Read somewhere (not sure where so sorry don't have a link), that training resumes on Monday for some of the squad, with the rest due back on 27th November (ie 2 weeks later). Does anyone have any further info, or know who will be starting now, and who later?

I know that the late starters will include Tarrant, Hase, Crowley, Mundy, and Peake. Not sure who else though.

The aflpa agreement entitles them to 8 weeks leave, so the players returning next week will be the guys who didn't play in the finals series like Walker, Solomon, Dunn, Campbell, Warnock, etc. I'm not sure about guys like Thornton, Gilmore and Duffield who played wafl finals.

Have the rumoured injuries to Mundy and Peake been confirmed?

Not if this is anything to go by. Mentions Crowley's injury, but says nothing about any injuries to Mundy or Peake.

Victorious Aussie reps return home

Fremantle’s three International Rules representatives – Ryan Crowley, David Mundy and Brett Peake – have arrived back home following Australia’s victorious campaign against Ireland.

Crowley played in the visitors’ eight-point loss in the opening Test of the series in Galway, and all three lined up in Australia’s 38-point victory in the second Test in Dublin.

The 30-point aggregate series win meant the Aussies retained the Cormac McAnallen Trophy, which they claimed by taking out the 2005 series in Perth and Melbourne.

The second match in front of a sell-out crowd at the famous Croke Park was eventful for Crowley, who scored a vital goal and injured his left knee.

An MRI scan taken upon his return to Perth has revealed damage to the posterior cruciate ligament. He will be on a restricted program until the Christmas break, and will resume full training in the New Year.


Good news is that Crowley's injury isn't as bad as we had first thought / heard.
