Fraser Gehrig back doing ball work

RedWhiteBlack · Tue 15 Jul 2008 3:57pm

I don't know how long it's been since Fraser was doing ball work at training, but I just heard he's been playing kick to kick with Eljay over about 30-40 metres. Apparently he's taking the odd mark with one hand, but when he uses two he looks quite confident. Hopefully this is a good sign!

I think its a good sign that he will be able to kick with his kids when he is older.

Spoke to him on Saturday as he was doing some drills.

Reckons he won't be back

I have positive things to say and unlike some here never hardly ever have a go at players. Hope you have never had a go at players.

By the way just pointing out he will not be back with a little humour. Have you heard of that word.

He's not negative... he's a very naughty boy!

Most of my posts come with humour.

Most of yours don't give the saintsational community much.

No need to get angry.

It's just the truth.

Question

Hypothetically,we're in the 8,coming to the first week of the finals. The G-Train is training the house down,we come up against a side that has a weak backline.

Do we play him?

I would

Sadly ... stick a fork in him ... he's done.

The problem with your hypothetical is that sides that make the finals don't have weak back lines...respect what the G has given this club but the chances of him returning are very,very slim.

What about if we send him in as a pinch hitter(king hitter). We send the train out on angry pills.....roughen up(wipe out) a few opposition key players?

I say yes

That's why it will work a treat.
All these fairy floss metro's won't be expecting it. Good old bloody Fraser will come out throwing haymakers,sending the opposition into shock. It will be good old fashioned back to the 80's brutality. For good measure I say we bring in the man mountain Rix,send him on a hurtin mission. Between the two of them they could take out 5 or 6 before the opposition knew what hit them,literally.

We wouldn't be popular,but winning finals isn't about popularity!

Dam straight its a good sign

agree with ya Jonesy, theres always a few teams in the comp failing in their backline and it would be worth unleashing the train on the occasion of opposing them.

sounds like ur wanting G to play his last game one grand time and bring the stadium down...anyway

also agree with the final winning popularity, which dissapoints me

the saints are not remembered by any opposing clubs, apart from Port and Sydney to remain one game away from sharing the spotlight of hollywood-fame over Australia for entering their way into the AFL Grand Final..twice we had the chance..but who remembers the unfortunate two contestants in the Preliminary Final? the saints did play the pre-premiership team both years 04 05 in the Preliminary

If we look like missing out, give him a farewell match.

Otherwise, the next time I want to see him on the ground is doing laps in the back of a convertible and waving to the fans.

Great champion, but time's up... sadly

Oh My God....it's just hit me,this scene and speech is just tailor made for the G Train come september!! Infact I think it could of been made with the train in mind for this scenario,genius Stallone,genius!

makemytime · Wed 16 Jul 2008 11:34am

go g-train, come back for the finals, deserves a farewell

So people are interested in a bloke that doesn't chase, doesn't work hard and is no longer all that interested in playing AFL?

He's done. Move on.

Has already had one.

Saints in 20?? · Wed 16 Jul 2008 6:16pm

How many farewells does Fraser need ? i wouldn;t want to be the guy that carries him off.
Remember vs Tigers '07 ?
Will he give his jumper back to that little girl again ? Does he do that just to get it dry cleaned ?
