Eagles voice doubts over Malceski's knee

This is what Sumich had to say:

Did anyone go to training at Subi last night? Is he talking @@@@ or is there some truth in this?

[TheGrimReaper]

He's most likely foxing and playing mind games.

[Robbo]

Maybe their jealous that Malceski is back playing footy while Mitch Brown will be out for the year after having the conventional reconstruction.

[NMWBloods]

I agree.

The only thing I wondered about was Malceski's match fitness on a big ground, but I doubt that would be apparent in training.

Hard ground - fast open spaces, Can't understand why you would want to play, we might even get good consistant bounce and have a fairly level playing surface to play on. (hopefully no holes to fall into.........) Is it planned to be dry in the west?

Suggest that a week off would be a non essential criteria.

Roosy / coaching staff may call a desiable late change if he is sore after training?

I would guess playing.

^^ Huh?

I have a problem with this concept: Sumich + mind games. Surely the two are mutually exclusive.

I mean, one must have a mind in order to play games with it.

[Lucky Knickers]

If the unnamed Swans source

scoffed

at the suggestion - I'd say it's probably true.

[TheGrimReaper]

I just fell to the floor that you actually agree with me.

[Destructive]

Running scared, I'd say.

Or, perhaps, he's hinting that Malceski's knee might get a special attention by WCE players, making sure Malceski is taken out early in the game.

I wouldn't be surprised if they used illegal tactics. Wouldn't be the first time either.

Just make the players wear Barry Hall masks and watch them squib.

Roos was on 2ue sports today this evening. He said mal pulled up a little sore, but had nothing to do with his knee. He said it often happens at training that if a player pulls up a bit stiff, they just take them out of training. He went on to say that this was the benefit of closed training sessions as nobody notices them doing this on a regular basis. He said away games make it difficult especially when the eagles offices over look the ground.

Thanks - good info.... I was concerned as Mal's knee was mentioned on TEN's news last night - most likely they were building on that Herald Sun article.
