Training Training updates 2026.

[Peters_Nuts]

Well, Jen's updates are certainly a roller coaster today.

Josh training with the mids and DC looks good!

Though she seems to think De Mattia is a chance to debut...

Could HDM be a tagger option? There's a single-mindedness there.

Seems to think he's a Lipinski replacement on the wing

back to a wing before bringing in HDM

I'd put Josh Daicos back to a wing before bringing in HDM

Well this will be interesting if he gets selected. He can show us what he's got.

Where is swadling training ?

FMD a HDM debut?! Jeez!

 

[yeah man]

It would be genuinely hilarious if DeMattia debuted on the wing of all places and actually put a good game together. Poor bloke would be set up for an absolute rinsing on debut. Hopefully we aren't that desperate

We’ve been missing a true A grade whipping boy this year. WHE retired, Cox is out West and both Houston & Schultz are playing too well. Lipinski is old news, time for some new blood

Can't wait to call him a mutated spud when he predictably shoots a blind backwards handball overhead for a direct turnover. Good times ahead! Godspeed

 

[Bianconeri]

I'm back on the HDM train

He has a good season in the VFL last year and had a strong return game to the VFL on the weekend. I don’t get the angst.

It seems to me Harry has been copping it for the past year.

Hasn’t he been injured for a
Month?

 

[WanderingDude]

Well this week ain’t quiet. Hammered. VFL and AFL. Players down. Voss down. And virtually no games experience in available VFL players. Time to find some stuff out. The journey is great. I hope the scoreboard is too. Go pies.

 

[yeah man]

Hasn’t he been injured for a
Month?

Yeah he had a back injury, returned against Geelong. I actually think it'd be way too early and that the predictions of him debuting aren't based in anything real.

 

[BillyElliott]

Hasn’t he been injured for a
Month?

Yes. I'm hoping he was in black for numbers only.

 

[No SPIN]

HDM turns the ball over has no right side and is a poor decision maker - I think others are ahead of him.

It'd be great to add HDM as someone to flay. But WTF is wrong with you if you don't rate Ned Long as an A grade whipping boy. But from a whipping sense, what I've loved most this year is that after years of squibbing the whip, Elliott has put his hand up and is finally willing to get flayed. It's been inspirational.

Ned Long does inspire some truly feverish whipping from some, that is an oversight. Maybe that was my disrespecting the whipper more than the whipped
