Preseason Training 11/11/24 (and onwards till someone creates a new thread)

“Didn’t get a full pre season”

Duursma probably done a 4-5 week hammy

And if that’s the case it sucks. What would change that if you knew? And generally if someone isn’t participating in full training or is in a rehab group you can make your own educated guess that they might be carrying something.

I appreciate the curiosity but either way sounds like it’ll keep you up at night so lose lose

Reckon the surface at Tulla is shithouse Guelfi complained that it’s like concrete the other week.

This I can get interested in, but have heard nothing else like that. Maybe they copied Marvel right down to the injury inducing surface? I’d be more worried about the fact they train in swirling winds so often then play in protected spaces.

4 weeks from now is early January, still plenty of time to get fitness work in.
Its not as if he’s Stringer and you gotta worry about him laying into Christmas turkey over Christmas break or the KFC featured Zinger deals in the new year.

Either way though, Duursma’s durability is a genuine issue. He basically gets multiple injuries every year which sees him spend time on the sidelines. You’d love to just set and forget him on a wing in your best team because he’s a very good two way runner but it’s hard to build around a guy who has so many regular setbacks.

Yea, He really does provide that defensive coverage, the amount of tackles and spoils early season he was able to do based on his work ethic was great. His general play and disposal was sometimes a bit hit and miss, but his shots for goal were brilliant, confident and consistent. I like him as a player. I would sacrifice Duz to the wing if Durs is not available.

Yes he’s had soft tissue problems, but there is still a chance he plays every game next year and beats his PB of 20.

Duursma is our new Fantasia.

Not a great track record.

At Port he did get dropped as well at times.

Yea and we dropped BZT and they seem to play him week in week out. Fark Port. Personally, I think when fit Duursma is the type of role player you want playing for you. Consistent runs hard, defends and is a threat going forward.

They’re getting an injury list together as soon as they liaise with The Alfred Hospital Trauma Unit… and the morgue.

“Duursma was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He was then transferred to a better hospital where doctors upgraded his condition to alive.”

Guys. Check your messiah hopes at the door. The only thing certain about Rosa is he is not Dodoro… There are 3 possibilities. He might be worse than Dodoro, about the same or better. IMO theres a risk that if he doesnt completely turnover our talent spotters and influencers his recruiting performance will be about the same or worse than under Dodoro.
