The challenge for Syd is just to become a good person with values , footy comes second in this instance .

What’s with the (apparent) change of heart?
You’ve been sniping and slandering him for weeks?

None is "slandering' him.
We all know how good he can be and we don't want to see another talented kid ruin his career because he didn't do the hard yards.
Get in there Stack and work as hard as lambert and Castagna and you will be rewarded.

He was accused on this site of "keeping WA breweries in business" and if that ain't slander its certainly sniping - and there were other cheap shots too.

I'm with you on wanting to see SS playing good footy for us next tear and beyond.

Really ?
If you can’t get you act off the field right , don’t expect his onfield performance to be great . End of story !

This surprises me Zipps, I just naturally assumed you were permanently drunk due to your un-dying love of Castagna ;)

Disagree.
He was a very footballer who never became the player he could have been. In one year maybe 2010 or 2011, he averaged well over 20 disposals a game and played some terrific footy off halfback.
That was about it unfortunately but he could play for sure.


Connors was a top shelf talent, with unique x factor football traits that were very rare.

Unfortunately we never saw his best
 
Stack won't make it, he was a longshot in any case

Does not have the mindset to make the sacrifices to make it
 
'It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas' :)

Ok it's been a couple of training days since I posted, look I haven't really been feeling the vibe this pre-season until today, it was like a cloud had been lifted.

So much love, so much voice, so much laughter and so much encouragement which had been strangely missing until today.


So as players head for their Christmas break so the last 2020 training report is penned.

I'll start with what we all know a lot of these boys should be playing AFL footy the reality is many will still need to bide their time.

Love Love Love: This young bloke's personality is infectious, the loudest and most encouraging on the track, 196cm and blitzed the other big men in the shuttle today his name is Bigoa Nuyon. Can he play footy? don't know but i love him.
Smoothest Mover: Hugo, killed the shuttles today and has taken all before him in the endurance runs, looks a player without actually having seen him play in a contested 18 on 18 game, has he added kg's to his frame and does he possess the defensive aspects Dimma would require?.
Reality Bites;): The dreaded shuttle found out poor young MRJ but every player to a man came up and gave him either a pat on the back or a cuddle and said welcome to the big league son!
On the road to redemption?: Now I have been a massive sceptic on whether CJ would have the desire to redeem himself at Richmond and how he would be received back into the fold, he was back in full training with the boys today and the interaction with the boys which included Nank, who has been hitting the tack this week, is very encouraging. Just needs to kick an off field habit to succeed.
Adonis returns: Noah Balta made an appearance just to show everyone what a perfect physical specimen looks like:)
Rehabing: Lambo, Cumberland, Garth. Lambo has progressed to sprinting, probably at 80%, and running copious amounts of laps accompanied by Cumberland.
Midfield: Basically just putting in the miles ready for the proper pre-season post Christmas, any number could no doubt slot right in.

My Christmas Wish: Is to see RCD exploding from the centre square at some stage next year.

MERRY XMAS ONE & ALL

Hate to tell you the obvious here
But times have changed greatly

I think youve said previously you have a connection or friend at the club?

Do you know Syds actual status? Is he back in WA for family reasons, holiday, or because the club has put him in time out etc etc??

Never, ever, ever! :D

Not a huge amount of skills work conducted over pre-season so my posting has been more to give people something instead of nothing, more fitness related and all 3 would be tracking ahead of where they were this time last year.

Santa has come early! Would the shuttle run give you an idea of MRJ’s chances to play games next year, or is it not that relevant? He looks sharp and likeable in the RFC website, just wondering how much I should temper expectations early on :D
