I have a super hot missus . :) . Married to her for 20 years ... She is still super smokin hot scary good .. you cant worship them just because they pretty . So I know these things.
Who said anything about worshipping them? Congratulations on your hot missus, im very happy for you, but as someone who's been in the music industry for over 20 years you're not talking to someone with a lack of experience with smoking hot women, so you can go have a beer with sweaty blokes, and I'll take the hot woman home instead. To each their own. ;)

Set back for Newman with a knee injury he has no damage but will be a little off for a few weeks you would imagine. Good news is Rosa and Emac are back with Wellingham back later this week.
Sinclair with a finger injury. Explains why he wasn't handballing, just throwing the ball, in the drill I saw him involved in

Obviously the boys struggled in the heat unsurprisingly which goes some way to explain why they seemed flat to be

Don't like the fact Lamb is tipped to not return for the next fortnight and likely being unavailable for Nab matches.

The nab challenge games are a huge opportunity for rookies to showcase what they can do and push for a spot, if Lamb misses all of those he'll be struggling to make a senior birth without several weeks of consistently good WAFL performances.

WTF is with Lamb? Hurt his knee I thought? FFS!

Don't know if I would like to see that - not out on the footy field. :)

For me the worst part about this preseason has been the long injury list. I hope the late start to preseason training doesn't effect the player's performance next season. It's great to see Mckenzie bact in full training now.

I've said this before but I feel it needs repeating. At what point does the football club turn the microscope on the fitness department? Honestly since 2012 our management of injured players has been appalling. And we seem to just let it happen every year. I can't understand why the question doesn't even seem to have been asked. It's incredibly frustrating.

Yeah but if your hot woman already home you gotta do other stuff with the 23 hours and 57 minutes of the day .

Does anyone know who won the 2km run?
The video uploaded on the club website just mentioned Gaff and Masten being at the front - no mention of Cavka so I'm guessing the first year players weren't running. Also mentioned Sheed turned a few heads with his effort which is pleasing considering he's put on some size.

I agree to some extent, however nothing compares to the preseason of 11/12. It's heartbreaking losing a loved player for the season before the first ball has even been bounced. All the injuries currently are of a shorter term and recoverable, and whilst I don't want this trend to continue, if we can make it to round one without anything long term I'll be relatively happy.

I imagine if you dived into the detailed preseason threads on most clubs they'd all be complaining about having an injury list roughly equivalent. As long as we're not missing any key players come round 1 i'll be content.

Bulldust, ours is much much worse and three times as long. Half our players are tubed and in intensive care, the other half have tertiary syphylis. Its the worst I tells ya!

It hasn't been ideal but our injury is no way as bad as some years Ie 2010/11 2012/13.

Scooter and Darling are the only real concerns and at worst they will be lacking some fitness come NAB cup but it isn't the end of the world. A big bonus is having Waters and Nic Nat doing a full pre-season.

Most of the injuries are still from 2014 anyway...

Selwood is more of a concern than Darling. Just because the setback and his role on ball.

Darling as a forward can be worked into the season. Probably hurts his capacity to get more midfield minutes early on.

And obviously Newman isn't available for selection round 1 at this stage.

Losing Selwood had no impact on us last year, and unless he miraculously improves to what everyone hoped he would of been when he was first drafted (ie as good as Joel), then it won't affect us this year as we have guys that can tag (and miss targets Selwood style). It gives more of an opportunity to the youngsters like College, Sheed, Duggan, Cavka etc which is a good thing IMO.
