Post subject: Rusty could be back...faces fitness test | |
|
Balmy saying Rusty could be back this week if he passes fitness test...will be a big in for us...has been sorely missed.
hopefully his thumb has healed enough.
Does anyone know how they do a fitness test on a thumb?? _________________ Go Pies...Premiers 2010 |

That was always the aim, get back by the Richmond game.
Back in 1990, Matthews fitness-tested Millane's thumb by tossing him a football... to his healthy hand.
But I think testing would probably have improved since then, though... _________________ I am vengeance. I am the night. I am MagpieBat. |

Will need a couple of weeks to find his feet I'd suspect. |

He has had that nickname since junior footy days.

You are given 100 thumb tacks, a pin board and a time limit. _________________ Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine! |

If we really wanted to do a fitness test on him I can suggest an arm wrestle with a guy I played footy with. This guy won the World Championship in Las Vegas for arm wrestling. That would test it. Funny thing is this guy, Nick never went to a gym. Just spent years working in a quarry in Melbourne.
Or we could do the 1990 Millane test and get him to arm wrestle Nick with his good hand. _________________ Magpies love pies(Lol) |

Notes from Pies training: Cloke stayed back after session to work on set shots, Sidebottom (thumb) still struggling to grip the footy. _________________ There is Collingwood and then the rest. |
