I'm at training

Wells is here - not training w main group - w Goldy, McC, Wills and others doing handball drills and laughing

Can't see him working w main group drills...I'll do a lap

Hate to say it but i told yo so.recruiting 32 year olds with a history of calf injuries on 600k was ludicrous.

 

[SchuPie]

Btw - Kirby working w forwards in drills (Moore/ White / Mayne) he looks great
They're trying to work out their patterns and individual nuances. Rough edges but coming together

 

[Ketchup]

Hahahahahaha. it's only taken a week for our conditioning staff to * it up

Well done guys, well done. keep up the high standards.

 

[SchuPie]

Having said that Wells not in main group, so many are doing their own programs today
Grundy Broomy Aish Wills Langdon Reid Sier Crocker McL McC Goldy Oxley etc
Some are working really hard individually

 

[SchuPie]

Moore dominating - so impressive
Billy is taking part in full drills

I'm assuming no tackling or being tackled for Elliott?

I think the majority of people were saying that.

Not sure - assume so but it's been a pretty willing sessions with some serious tackling in some of the drills

He just threw himself backwards into a big contest

Queue premature meltdowns over an unconfirmed calf injury in the early preseason. Never change Bigfooty...

Tom Browne is usually pretty good with this stuff.

Yeah, but even he is saying he hasn't got it confirmed yet. And even if he has tweaked it, it's December. Remember how Reid injured himself late preseason last year and people were screaming? He then played 17 games in a row before going in for PCL surgery. No soft tissue injuries since. Wells doing the same conditioning program as him. People need to calm the **** down, it's still early days.

If he's missing games during the season then maybe the 'I told you so' posts might be justified. Until then it's just ridiculous.

Appreciating the updates, thanks.

Yo Schu, i'm assuming if Wells is laughing and partaking in handballing drills he likely hasn't done an injury? How's he look?

Individual programs. This will please Scodog10

It's odd Quicky, when I first arrived that's what was happening...since I read the post about his calf I haven't seen him

I can't see him in any of these main drills

Who knows - mind you, we're 4 months from round 1 so he has time on his side

 

[Baltimore Jack]

Let off here for @CollingwoodFC.
Initial rumours Daniel Wells tore his calf are now downgraded to a minor injury.

Yeah the "I told you so" thing is very premature.
It's just worrying that we've signed this bloke on an expensive 3 year deal and he's already re injured his troublesome calf.

It's justifiable that people are having serious doubts about how his body will hold up towards the end of his contract if he's already injuring himself the second week of pre season.

Front-loaded contract ?
You would think that our fitness staff are smart enough to be aware of his injury history and age .. and adjust his program appropriately
