'In Hine we trust'

Yeah, look, I'm all for IHWT and all, but surely not even Dekka could get anything in a trade for a bloke whose had two years worth of hammies.

Why would Gil be at our Training Session?

The plot thickens

[Soaring Magpie]

Going by That from Balme. Does sound like he won't play at all or Very Little in 1st 2 NAB Challenge Games

It's what I've been saying, in a perfect world he'd play all 3 but it's just not going to happen.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

If that is true then I hope we keep it quiet and pass him off to some unsuspecting club

I reckon the saints might be interested, they like to trade for duds.

Why would Gil be at our Training Session?

Gil "Bucks, I need you to tone it down a bit"
Bucks "Tone down what mate"
Gil "Stop being such a good bloke"
Bucks (laughs out loud) "What are you on about mate"
Gil "Some of the other clubs are pissed off"
Bucks "What about"
Gil "All these young guns who like/respect you and want to come to Collingwood"
Bucks "Oh"
Gil "Can you back off a bit"
Bucks "Ok, I'll ring Jaeger's manager later and say thanks, but no thanks"
Gil "Thanks Bucks, geez you're a good bloke".

Surely not!

Well Balme has a Fair bit Inside Info

I was thinking he Play NAB 1 for a Half. Rest Nab 2 and Back for NAB 3

my sources were correct

 

[suspect footskills]

I heard he pulled up a bit sore after about the first 5 min. Went off. No need to panic though, Balme was overheard saying that if we lighten his load he should be right in about 2-3 weeks

That's a sneaky way of saying it'll be a 4 odd year injury. He isn't saying two to three weeks he's saying 223 weeks. Shifty fat Bastard lol... Gotta love him.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Surely not!

True, it would be as silly as them trading a top ten pick for a player about to be banned for drug use. Should give them more credit

 

[TradeDraft]

- Sier (pronounced like 'Sire') has a beautiful kick on him, and just like in his highlight videos he seems to often get the ball and explode for three or four metres before disposing. Like the look of him.

Great to hear Sier have a Beautiful Kick.

Sounds bit like Swan with his Explosive pace away from Contests

I reckon he might be informing bucks that a certain Boris the bulldog might be taking thymosin β.....

The saw dank at the vet Boris frequents. Sounds plausible. After all he picked up Howe and buried him finger first into the dirt.

Probably the AIS academy U/18 kid who is training with us this pre-season, which this link says is Jack Scrimshaw, who seems to fit your description.

I don't think so, link says that they were training with the teams prior to heading over to camp in the US, that happened last month. The hunt continues... Couldn't have been Ben Reid? Some might not recognise him anymore.

Say a VFL Player or a Father/Son Prospect as I think it be bit early for Acadamey Kids be allowed to be announced

I recall a while ago there was reports we'd signed a kid to the VFL team out of the U18 competition - anyone remember that? If I recall, he was also a lovely loping left footer.

It was probably him.

Probably get injured mid season then.

1st Time I ever heard of that.

Ask MagpieBat or mattys123 as they follow the VFL very closely

 

[lyfsux]

I heard he approached the AFL about a career after football and the only position they could consider him filling was as a goal umpire.

Could be hard for him as well they do take off pretty hard when they run to the side for behinds

 

[Saintly Viewed]

All,

I went down to training this morning (which turned into an absolutely beautiful morning) to watch the boys run around.

They started out doing some standard warmup type drills and a full ground kicking drill, and then went straight into match simulation. Below are my notes:

- Obvious most important insight is that Treloar was fully involved in the drills. No running on the sidelines for him!
- As did Aish. I got movement downstairs a little bit when, in the drill before the game, Aish came streaming out of the backline and passed to Treloar on the wing.
- Treloar looked pretty good a couple of times in traffic and in clearances, but his disposal was sloppy. Not a strength of his at the best of times, but certainly needs the ball work.
- Howe jogged laps, Wills and Elliott were doing strides, but that is about it in terms of non-participants. Goldsack did some run throughs as well. Everyone else seemed to train.
- Sier (pronounced like 'Sire') has a beautiful kick on him, and just like in his highlight videos he seems to often get the ball and explode for three or four metres before disposing. Like the look of him.
- De Goey everywhere early. Looked really good through the match simulation, and has developed a lovely kick on him.
- Witts looked switched on, and covered the ground pretty well. Was probably the best big man on the ground. Cox looked okay, and Grundy had a couple of shockers. Witts had the better of Grundy in the hitouts.
- Play was going well until someone's beautiful kelpie streamed onto the ground and wanted to play. Game was stopped for 5 minutes while people tried to catch the dog (including its owner). In the end, the dog only got recaptured when it stopped to take a leak o the goalpost! Best on ground for the day.
- Marsh and Gault had a couple of good duels, and both looked okay.
- There was some tallish, elegant left footer with a lovely loping gait (not sure who it was - didn't have a number on his back so suspect someone from the VFL list). Beautiful kick of the football.
- Langdon very good and showed a lot of courage a number of times backing up with the flight. Looks in good nick.
- Swanny very solid, got a lot of the ball and a couple of nice shots on goal. Looks set for another good year.
- Maynard came of with a corkie, but was back on a little later, so nothing to worry about.

They were probably the main insights - happy to field any other questions.

The dog was Howe's wasn't it? Just bringing the frisbee for some play with the boys

With all the technology available to them now he could probably walk between the posts. None of them are capable of making a decision without the referral to technology even if the sure of an outcome.

How did Freeman go?

........to Seaford
