    Wasn't the comment more that he "wasn't in as good shape as the start of last season"? Rather than him being a long way underdone? I thought he was being asked to work on his offensive game?

    Maybe I missed something...

    I think it was also said that he hadn't done the work.

    Who rectifies that?

    You would think our conditioning team would be all over that during pre -season (analysing GPS data) and would rectify it then & there.

    Yeah but we hear all the time that if you miss (or dont do the work) preseason you basically play catch up for the rest of the year and cant catch up.

    Yes you would. It hasn't been lost on me that once Mitch Wallis was available Liberatore was sent to the VFL.

    Libba wasn't getting to as many contests as last season and the ones he got to he wasn't influencing them in the manner we have grown as we expect.
    To me that comes down to either carrying an injury or not being fit enough.

    Re: Libba

    I don't really want to see Libba playing at North Melbourne next year. Bevo is making a mistake IMO Libba needs to find form at AFL level.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Is that off the cuff, or is Libba being linked to North?

    Re: Libba

    Couple of months back a rumour ( a Mate with some pretty reliable sources and has been spot on a few times) told me Libba was on his last chance at the club, at the time I took it with a grain of salt but the current circumstance may suggest there is something in it.

    Re: Libba

    On a brighter note according to today's HUN Libba had 132 ranking points last match with the VFL side. 104 came in the second half. It was the fourth-best half of any player in the VFL this season.

    If it doesn't there would have to be serious questions asked about what is keeping him out.

    Yes speculation will start which is something we don't need on top of the JJ contract.
