AJ Watch

[royboy42]

It's hard to imagine that his body would be up to the rigours of even a NEAFL game by then. He's been out of the game for four years. I wasn't expecting him to play NEAFL until mid-late season. I'm tipping a record NEAFL crowd on the day that he does run out there. Personally, I don't think I could watch it. Every twist and turn h makes that game would have me on tender hooks.

"'On tenterhooks' - the meaning and origin of this phrase"

www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/on-tenterhooks.html


A tenter is a wooden frame, often in the form of a line of fencing, used to hang woollen or linen cloth to prevent it from shrinking as it dries. The tenterhooks are, not surprisingly, the hooks on the tenter used to hold the cloth in place

However I imagine you feel pretty tender if you are hanging on a tenterhook.

Thanks.

You must of read my mine in one fowl swoop. Give that pedant some additional renumeration.

Whether on tender hooks or tenter hooks I am with S.S Bleeder, it would be too stressful to watch it.

[Ludwig]

I will probably be on fish hooks when watching AJ's first game.

This is a technique I acquired from watching Tom Derickx. It's not for everyone, but it's amazing how unsympathetic you become about other people's problems.

Ma! I've done it again, ma!

I saw what you did there. Where would the world be though, without us?
'At one fell swoop' - the meaning and origin of this phrase

The swoop (or stoop as is sometimes now said) is the rapid descent made by the bird when capturing prey. Shakespeare used the imagery of a hunting bird's 'fell swoop' to indicate the ruthless and deadly attack by Macbeth's agents.

For those of us who are purely interested in what's happening with A.J. - far better off.

Between seasons 56-14 . And not a lot reported about AJ as yet. Give us a break.

royboy42 - I don't see your big-noting as a substitute for "not a lot reported about AJ yet"

I realise I could have easily googled that but thanks for the info. I am always happy to learn something new.

Very welcome Rogue.

We're a bit overdue for an AJ update, and I just stumbled upon this article. It doesn't contain much new news, but at least confirms that he's still on track in his rehabilitation, and is due to shortly begin full-contact training.

Awesome, thanks. The last I'd heard before this was Florent mentioning he was inspired by Johnson at training in an 'Ask a Swan' segment a couple of weeks ago.
