Yes agree.
I scratch my head asking how a young boy like that needed surgery after just joining the club.

Heā€™s a unique case. He was going to do year 12 no matter what. Because of the full time study commitments, he was never going to do the fitness training that the standard 18 year olds do. Less training meant he was more susceptible to injuries. The club took the risk because the VFL experience was too important to miss.

The alternative was to not play for a year. Not a real option.

I wouldnā€™t be too worried, Dan Jordan reckons heā€™s a Monty to play senior footy at some point this year, loves the kid

No. Some have already had their first training session.

Theoretically
Though some question if our players actually turn up, despite being apparently physically present.
So a philosophical conundrum.

Bit like @nackers cat.

Thereā€™s been either a distinct lack of training or lack of training reports.

I might be able to drop past for few minutes & get some dodgy iphone photos

And that, I would guess, is a reflection of the deep disappointment of members after the last two seasons and their deep lack of confidence that next season will be materially better.

I hope the club understands this and refrains from making the kinds of ridiculous statements about whatā€™s expected in the coming season that theyā€™ve made in the past. A bit of realism would be greatly appreciated.

@benfti Has Moz got the capabilities to get high disposal numbers (20 or so) or is he low numbers high impact type of forward.

337

yep - any expectations should be about the fundamentals of how we play. Finishing x, y or z will take care of itself.

338

I got a real good one of my finger the other day

339

So far:

  • low numbers when forward
  • high numbers when midfield!

Just hasnā€™t been fit enough to run quarters out midfieldā€¦ yet.

What do you think, could Irving end up being a Derek Kickett style of player?

If Mozzie starts dobbing left foot torpedos then weā€™ll well and truly have a cult hero on our hands
