Preview The 2022 Pre Season Training Official Thread

[Trigger13]

It's hard to say at this point, seeing how Cook was in the group who got hit by COVID, and it's able to linger (on top of removing a bit of momentum). Bit unfortunate but he should bounce back eventually.

I hope so. I bloody love him. Could be anything, I reckon.

 

[Golumless]

You got me on Buckley.
The other 2 really left after 2 years?


He's got the talent to become crisps Carlton version. No ticka, no fight though.

If you want some modern versions: Sam Docherty, Elliot Yeo, Jack Steele, Jack Scrimshaw (building nicely), Tom Hickey, Jack Hombsch, Jack Gunston.

That said, there is likely more to say about if you're moving on in two years for opportunity reasons, your career is in a bit of strife. Of course, toughing it out doesn't make you a good footballer either. If you're going for the payday at this point, you're likely to be on track for a good career regardless what you do (though of course, a move is riskier then staying).

 

[Mutineer]

I'm not sure he does, and I'm loathed to question a players commitment. Jackson has not lived up to the pre draft expectations, it happens.

Yep, and he showed way more for GWS at AFL and NEAFL levels than he has showed for us at AFL and SANFL level.

Hopefully he can turn it around but it isn't looking too promising at this point in the season.

Well there goes my theory.

Brett James and Mark Stevens left after 3 years though hey shorty

Mind you I don't think it was his decision alone.

 

[1990crow]

He didn't do the pre season last year. He was rehabbing his shoulder, spent most of the year building his fitness and touch, and only debuted at the end of the year. So he's technically coming off his first pre season. Give him time.

We are a side that is bottom 4. He had his preseason, I think he doesn't really deserve any excuses.
If he's that good, he should be in.

Nah I'm talking about players whose clubs want them to sign on but leave anyhow like Yeo, Hately, Caldwell...

Bucks had his trade organised before his year at Brisbane

Makes little difference to your point.

Makes a big difference. My theory is for 2 years not 3.
Yeo left the Brisbane s**t show, bucks was organised pre draft not sure if Steele was forced out by gws?

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

We have increased from 5 to an impressive 8 fifty-plus game players. Poort have a meager 17 (but, but, but we’re missing Orazio, Charlie, SPP, Slops and Dumont).

I think we could see yet another glorious March GF by the Pear.

Our teams doesn’t look too bad (but I thought it looked OK last week). The Miracle at Milner Street?

[hey shorty]

Tim Kelly

Jury still out on that one IMO

 

[Mutineer]

Jury still out on that one IMO

Why?

Drafted by Geelong and wanted out after 1 year, eventually got to the West Coast when Geelong fought tooth and nail to keep him.

Any word on Big Bad Billy Frampton?

Covid??

 

[Geoffa32]

At his best he most certainly is.

Ok, the ten minutes of his "best" he gives per season he is.

The player he is for 99% of game time, no.

Any word on Big Bad Billy Frampton?

He's pulling a D Mac

Cleverly avoiding some early season thrashings. Emerges from preseason untarnished.

Ready to be slotted in.

Thats some high level thinking by Billy Boy. Who knew he had the brains to match the brawn.

I just hope we don't waste a whole season putting him in the forward line, taking away opportunities from our developing KPF's like Carlton did with Liam Jones.
