Preseason 2016
I was walking past the ground this morning and I could see a player running up and down the ground inside. Tom Liberatore with two trainers kicking the ball and him running after it picking it up and kicking it back. It was good to see Tom kicking the ball and being able to put a bit of pressure on his knee.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Nice.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

I pray that he's pushed through the dark days of his rehab and is now ready to rip the pre-season to shreds and get back to his place amongst the absolute best in the competition. All his mates are on holidays, no doubt living it up and he's grinding away.
Observations like yours give me hope.

That's what impressed me. It reminded me so much of exactly what his dad would be doing. Tony would think "that's great you blokes all go on holiday and I will use that time to get a break on you by training twice as hard while you are all sitting on the beach drinking piss"

Re: Preseason 2016
He went on holidays while the players were playing remember.
Bring back the biff

Re: Preseason 2016
Good news. It's easy to forget how important Tom is after the year we had, but we will be a significantly better side with him back.

Re: Preseason 2016
He did his knee about as early as any player could so he's ahead of other 2015 ACL players.
I'm expecting him to play round 1.

Let's hope Koby and Clay also recover for 2016.

Re: Preseason 2016
Has Koby Stevens done an ACL? They had so much trouble working out his injuries last time that I missed what was actually wrong with him.

Re: Preseason 2016
I thought Koby was a week or 2 away at finals time? Unless he's redone something he should be right for the start of preseason?

He had a heel stress fracture.

Was listed as out indefinitely. Hopefully he has recovered.

Re: Preseason 2016
Great to hear that Twodogs. Was at the Whitten Oval that game he did his knee and that was a big downer that day but I'm hopeful Tom can get back to the best.
Tom Boyd is another who's progress I'll be interested to hear about on here.
Looking forward to pre season reports from woofers.

Jakey Stringer is also getting started early going by his Instagram.
Posted a video from FitCentre (James Mulligans centre I believe) putting in some serious hard yards. Loved his hashtag #striveforgreatness
