Training For Redemption in 2022

[Dont Argue]

Didn't you bring that one out for his old man who was the spitting image and could never put on weight

No.
His dad was 2B. ( and wasn’t 2B )
Darker lead

Getting some Snake Plissken vibes here... good signs!

Lachie Johnson is the son of Chris, high pressure player, a very Richmond like small forward. Lots of niggle too.

Did the Paddle Pops look at him and reject?

 

[Quickdraw]

I’m running a book on nicknames for Harrison Bourke.
I’ll go first.
HB ( as in the pencil )

Good one, DA.

Maybe just "Pencil"?

 

[Brodders17]

Not be a doomsdayer but I'd rather a young bloke do a knee than get glandular fever.

The "advantage" of a knee also is that every one knows you are injured and cant play.
His recovery from glandular fever might allow him to play VFL early in the year, but his fitness levels may not allow him to play good football this year.

WIll is positionally a very important back up player for Richmond.
We are already very thin on inside contested players. It means that someone else gets to be developed to play the role, in the twos that may be better suited elsewhere.

Good get @Roksman on Patrick Balta.

Also good to see Harrison Bourke:

Grandson of the great Francis Bourke and son of David also listed to carry on a family tradition

If he can make the AFL list it’d be 4th generation.

Had a scroll through the pics of the magoos, geez young hairyson looks like his old man, built scrawny too.

 

[Eddie from Elwood]

He's certainly got the old mans neck!

Has he ever............bet you he could spend an eternity lifting weights, and never put on bulk like the old man too

 

[Leysy Days]

OK, reports on all these others players are nice Caeser.

But how is the next dominant big man to grace the AFL tracking.

Assume it involves picking the ball up from his shoelaces and drilling 40m passes on his left.

Samson Ryan update please!

 

[tigerman]

Good to see a Bartlett and Bourke in the same team. Disappointed we couldn't find a Barrott and a Clay. A Hart would have been good too

And good to see Stevie Morris as playing coach. What a great clubman he is, he has done his dad and family proud.

@Leysy Days , I have mentioned Samson in positive tones already this pre-season and pumped up his skillset below his knees and his delivery by foot which put some others to shame.

I want to see how it translates in a scratch match and how he goes around the ground for confirmation that he has made real progress.

 

[craig]

I didn't think they made 66kg 20 year olds anymore? Tom Brachar makes Patrick Naish look like Arnold Swatzenegger!!!

and doesn't the 'beaker' gene run strong in the Bourke's ?

Thankyou Kind Sir.

Sounds like the next Jack Dyer is tracking nicely!

what's the opposite to Gladstone small?

Sadsand large

Hi @TigerFlag2017 everything being equal training should start at 9:45am on Thursday. I do plan to get there but will be late as I have a 9:30am Covid Booster booked with CoHealth in Collingwood. So maybe closer to 10:30 for me which is no drama as they start with a 25 minute warm up before they properly get into things.

@TigerFlag2017 , I did say all things be equal, (well they're not!). No training or packed car park, maybe they have gone away on a camp, gone somewhere for a time trial or all isolating because of Covidd, who knows.

Anyway TF hopefully you didn't make your pilgrimage after all.

Mate, just dropped in and witnessed the same. I'll have to try again in late Jan

Sorry about that it has been Thursday like clockwork for the pre-season, unfortunately I don't get a first hand copy of their schedule
