So your saying this article is a load of crap mate?

Are you actually attacking his credibility? Can see this Training Thread vanish one day...

No i'm not at all, not in the slightest.
More the credibility of the FFC website actually.

I think the club puts out what it wants to put out with regards to training reports. My reports are based on my observations alone so it's always good to hear from the other training reporters such as E-Shed, Salim Malik, John The Gardener, Gaskin, Irish Docker, JMT and Couldhavebeen etc. for balance.

It was just Salim and me leaning on the fence today though, even Bluey was a no show.

Did Jason Weber give you a nasty look today Harry?

My apologies.

I've never been too critical of the FFC media; except that they maybe portray and exaggerate what the supporters want to hear. They've probably got no clue we've got our own source(s) of info and have little need for their 'official' reports.

In my view, official training reports are sometimes peppered with deliberate inaccuracies targeted at a particular audience, as are some threads on this board. I find it best to go with the flow of misinformation.

No, but I was thinking of marching into the club rooms and handing myself in.

I've worked in media departments of professional sporting organisations (including a very brief few days with Eagles in the 90's, don't worry I had a chemical bath afterwards). If things haven't changed much since then, I'd take what the guys who go down to the park say over what's written on the club's website.

In short, Hill is clearly being 'managed' more than they suggest and Ibbo is still on lighter duties. That doesn't mean he's not "recovering well" or things are generally going in the right direction. I'm not suggesting all out conspiracy theory stuff. Anybody can get it wrong, even Harry , but if forced to chose, I'd take what I read here TBH.

No way Harry you might get "dirty" and that's not the look for you .

Your reports are too valuable to BF .

Stay away and keep the binoculars focused on what is more important who's got the best chance of running at Flemington
I mean who's training the house down and has Bluey fixed his bloody car yet.

We can only hope that Bluey's absence is due to him replacing the water pump and fan belt on his car.

Luke and Ibbo on the track this morning running through a series of rehab exercises,great to see Luke out there and looking healthy
Apart from those two not much action at all apart from a small group incl Sandi, Clark,Fyfe going through a short hand ball skills drill
Not sure about Ibbo making the trip,wait until Fri to see if he fronts up for a full session

Thanks for all the training reports...always more interesting and no doubt more accurate than the official releases.
Im I the only one concerned that we won't be seeing L-Mac suit up on game day again this year?

I'm not concerned about it at all. He'll play, but not until he's 100% ready and not for more games than he has to.

 

[BananaOnTheRun]

i think they know that if luke comes back underdone and reinjures himself, that'd be the end of his season. we seem to have taken the road of getting players 100% right before throwing them back into senior footy this year.

 

[Dan42]

Would any good posters know what time training starts tomorrow.

Seem to recall Ross mentioning in one of his pressers when questioned about resting players in the last few games he said "I wish I had rested Mc phar hammer in the run up to last years finals" or something to that affect.

"Phar Hammer"... classic Ross.

9.30am they usually come out and warm up. They then start the training at 9.40am and finish at 11.00am.

I recon we could do a whip around but it will be a waist of time if he can't hear the water pump and won't fix it

Ill see you there

Very light session today.

Mundy just ran a few laps then had a long talk to the Doctors. Ver doubtful to play, he needs a rest.

Walters just ran a few laps.

Taberner split into the WAFL group so he might not make the final team.

Pav trained well.

Moller moves very well for a big dude. Crozier trained fully and is a good chance to play. Hill trained fully

Any consideration at all that his Brownlow chances might be considered ahead of his need for a rest?

 

[dockerfemme]

I joined IrishDocker at training today. We met a new chum who might join in here at Big Footy. There was a poor turnout from the Big Footy contingent - no sign of the great effort that Ross looks for.

The only additions I have to yakka man are that I did not see Ibbo or Zac Dawson train.

[jedi mind tricks]

You would think Ross would rest Mundy so he is ripe for finals.

Would like to see Hill and Crozier come in for Mundy and Sheridan.
