Training Training updates 2026.

[Harry O]

McStay pulled away from Match Sim early. Running drills along the boundary

Beau pulled just now. Doing the same.

Did a strong running session for 20 mins. Looks good to increase his game time over next few weeks

 

[Harry O]

Angry Anderson been pretty good. Won a fair bit of possession and has a nice side step. Pity he missed his 2 goals on the run

 

[LuckyLee]

Any notable positional/role changes?
DeGoey and Josh mostly playing on ball?
West and/or Buller showing much?

Elliott a fair bit on ball in that Beau role
Lippa dominant in more his year 1 role
Josh not in defence

 

[Lings of Geelong]

We're winning the flag again, aren't we

Just 3 quarters by the look

Howe with a fresh calf injury according to Cleary

Howe with a fresh calf injury according to Cleary

Bah God, that’s music to Cochran’s ears

[Dead Eye Didak]

Howe with a fresh calf injury according to Cleary

Old mans injury. Could be the tone of this season with Howey....

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

Howe with a fresh calf injury according to Cleary

Reinjuring the calf puts him out until about Round 6.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

So we could be going into Opening Round with Moore and Howe unavailable....oh dear...

 

[IlovethePies]

^Is Cleary generally accurate with his claims?

Moore still a chance - but they will probably err on side of caution. Especially against a short Saints forward line

Howe not in my best 23 this year. Handy depth. VFL captain

 

[Dtennent94]

ENTER THE SMIT

 

[TradeDraft]

Chances of Cocharne Debuting as Risen

 

[Pistol Night]

Howe with a fresh calf injury according to Cleary

FFS. Old mans injury too.

 

[Jen2310]

Oscar Steene take a bow. BOG I would say.
Did everything you would want from him taking the first ruck role without DC.
Dominant in the ruck (yes, against Teakle/smit/buller), went in defence and intercepted, moved forward and took some great marks and kicked a goal.

Awesome news. Like we've always said, ruckman take time and this kid looked like he had the tools from day 1.

As I have said previously anything Howe does this season is a bonus. I would give Cochrane a chance.

IF Howe plays 5 games but 3 are finals then I would consider that a success.

 

[legendstatus]

I don't want to sound doom and gloom but Howe for me isn't a factor any more and missing him probably doesn't hurt us, we won't see much of him this year, be good to see Cocka run around, That said we really need to look for a couple of running defenders at years end.

I think thats a realistic view. This is his last year anyway and given all his injuries, we shouldn't be relying on him. Opportunity for someone else.
