Preview The 2022 Pre Season Training Official Thread

Really?

Post-season injury update didn't mention anything, and it was pretty comprehensive...

Post-season Injury Update

Adelaide's final injury update of the 2021 season

www.afc.com.au

That's what I was told.

Will be interesting to see if it is revealed once the older guys officially return.

Following on from my previous post, I also heard that only Doedee, Sloane and Laird haven't been at training.

Bad news is that Doedee is going to have an interrupted preseason. He has an issue that they can't find a solution for...It's not great news.

That might not be the worst problem for us to face, coming into the year. It could potentially force us to look in the Worrell direction for our third tall, and just maybe a better defensive structure going forwards.

 

[Big Dub]

He's.....different! Don't mind that.
I'm tipping the braid won't last the season though.

Keep until he "graduates", I would have thought. Snip the braid immediately before first game.

Some interesting news I heard last night.

Haggis and the new boys all drove to Adelaide from Melbourne. It seems they didn't want to risk being on a plane with a positive case and having to isolate. Good idea.
As the boys said, they did almost all the first session.
Rachele has already wowed his teammates. Apparently he outpointed Smithers in a one-on-one, burst away from him and delivered a lace out pass to a leading player. A few minutes later, he wheeled on to his left banged in a goal from outside 50. His teammates are already convinced he's a top level player.

Round 1.

Groin soreness?

Yep, if it continues it’s an exciting development opportunity for Josh

That said, it’s not the best look for (likely) our next captain to have three out of four recent injury-interrupted seasons

Why is this board so obsessed with players' hair? Who cares

Ankle I believe

Donald Dickie's mohawk in the 1999 Ansett Cup GF aside, I agree

If he needs surgery it's better to get it done now than in season. I think Brown had a similar injury back in 2019 that required surgery.

Ankle I believe

So stress fracture or something of the like

I believe the issue is that they don't know what is causing the issue, so don't know if surgery is required.

I'm not sure. I don't think so as that would likely come up in some scan, but as far as I know, they haven't found a cause yet.

I reckon Ben Davis sporting the Blade haircut earlier in the year deserves some recognition.

 

[Mego Red]

the audience was AFC media & supporters.

So far, that video has been played 2700 times.

That's not even 2700 seperate people, that's total plays. A tiny percentage of supporters watch these.

The audience is the players.

New boys acquainting themselves with Adelaide's beaches today...Good day for it.

Henley?
Anybody at the Henley beach cafe spying?

Only a matter of time before McHenry and O'Brien take Soligo and Taylor out on the boat

In the warm up before the game, Ben Davis should rock up wearing a leather jacket and black shades.

Before being hauled away for tax evasion, Wesley Snipes style.

Whats he played all up so far?.. 6 games for the club over how many years? 5?.. maybe on $150 grand a year..

6 games.. so he’s essentially been payed about $100 grand or more a game..

Yep.. he’s definately good at scamming s**t so, yeah, tax evasion probably isnt out of the question for Ben..

Didnt Rachele mention in his interview he loves the beach and the lifestyle.
