The end is nigh

My guess is they are really impressed with both Sharp and Lindsay

Just curious with all the talk of father sons, is kynan in full training? Hoping so and he’s just not standing out

Played a while as one of the original “quarterback” accumulators. Got loads of the ball and used it well in a time where it mattered little. More half back than pocket, and a weapon anywhere on the field. Has all Australian vibes where you just have to shoehorn the stars in though.

I need more updates on GW’s nail! Is it a just a chip or a complete loss? How long until full recovery?? Will it hinder her efforts at training? I thought the clubs media game was on the improve but the lack of reports coming out about this are worrying

Hoping mcvee’s foot issue is only a minor concern, he’d be sorely missed if unavailable

All for the development. Having secondary positions in the kit bag helps allow the coaches to pull moves whether it be to expose a match up or to cover an injury. I can still see Windsor playing a wing role after a sub is made to give some extra run, but mostly I believe he will have a role to play on the speedier hff’s of the comp.

Would need a few goals (and probably a highlights package worthy run down tackle) in an early game to catch the eyes of the panel. Hope to see it, but pinning more hopes on Harvey Langford building a season worthy of taking out the award.

When this thread bumped I was scared claz had 3rd degree burns from training this weekend 🥵

Just looking for clues everywhere. Given I can’t see a pocket square on trac I can also infer he won’t be playing in the pocket or the square. Half forward role? footy season can’t come fast enough. Happy ‘25. Hope it’s a memorable one 👍🏼

Clarrys shoes lacking the same polish of trac and salo. Bad omen?

I’m more concerned about his actions that cost us kozzy for the start of the year. Went to ground and put his head hip high. If koz went only ball instead of going for contact he would have been taken below the knees. I can see why he’s collingwoods captain. When his career ends I’ll talk about him in a different way. But as it stands right now he’s a [censored] of the highest order.

Love his story. Hope he’s hungry for a big year

Whilst I agree with all you said, Nick Blakey is another recent example

Definitely have heard him state that he’s lucky to have access to both clubs as it doubles his access to facilities to train, etc. staying non committal has allowed him to spend two full weeks training with each club every year, on top of his academy training. Should be great for advancing his footy iq as well as his physique.

Given this information, and the club still not having named him in the round one side, and the fact nobody has refuted my comment midway through typing it, I think it’s fair to say there is a rift between player and club and he is understandably upset by the culture. Likely to request a trade if he hasn’t already behind closed doors. also, please take this as my application to be a footy journalist. but in all seriousness, thanks to all the track watchers, loving the photos and info given this preseason ❤️💙
