Re: Training today 13 Feb

No mention of Campbell, which I guess is a good sign.
I just see him as an important part of this team as Marshall cannot ruck all game and every week, and I can't see anyone else giving him a chop-out.

Yeah, his teammates could have easily salvaged the situation but they were bloody hopeless. Thanks guys!

Re: NWM in defence.

Good comments in this thread. I appreciate it.

Just think that he could be such a weapon off the wing where he has the space and a little less need to defend. Good kicking to our forwards is so important.

Just hope he has a great season, but if he struggles in defence you will hear from me.

NWM in defence.

Playing NWM in defence is a mistake IMHO. Just like Hill he is an attacking player and will be found out when required to defend. And half-back is not just about rebounding and attacking. He is a young kid who has probably never played a competitive match in that position and every opposition coach ...

Re: Best Team and Magoos - we have good depth!

Ruck depth is poor.
Key defender depth is poor.
Key forward depth is poor.

Can’t agree with you.

Re: Overtraining

Re: Overtraining

Overtraining is as detrimental as under training. Is it time questions were asked of the fitness staff? Players dropping like flies. Yep, I think so. Misson should know better though.

Re: Joyce

I think Joyce looks much better at training than in a match, and it may be a result of not playing Australian Rules growing up.

Can’t say I want him to be successful at Brisbane, but that’s just because I am getting sour in my old age.
