Stiffy mopped up alright. Bock bock as well.
As do I, was rewatching that youtube h2h clip of him vs Matera that was posted the other day. Was so good at hitting those packs at full speed when the ball was there to be won/or someone was looking to dish it off and you'd see him just glide through and punish the opposition with his skill.
Pretty encouraging reading about the hard yards CEY has put in this off season. Greenwood as well. Hopefully Greenwood is fit enough from their little mini preseason that he can spend a great deal of the real pre season working on skills and general game awareness stuff.

Would suggest also that Greenwood's not content to sit around on the Rookie list .....man is on a mission

I don't know if it's possible, but the thought of Greenwood breaking into the team and playing a Bontompelli like role is the stuff of wet dreams. That's the type of "organic improvement" we need.

I've said that self confidence / ego / strut is a great attribute to have in sport ......Greenwood has it spades, CEY needs to have some rub off on him
Absolutely. If he develops like I think he can, we'll have a very good player on our hands, and one that gives us a POD as well
Loved reading this article, hopefully CEY gets the opportunity to put a submission hold on Dangerfield
He just needs to be backed up with actions or it looks and sounds a bit "Mundine" like

I watched him on fox recently - 2008 showdown replay. God I miss him too. So to remind us all of what he looks like, here he is hitting on my wife. Yeah nah, just being the legend he is, he got cosy for a photo. Absolutely love the man.

Something out of left field and not so much in the "youngsters" category a lot of you guys are referring to. But I'm hoping our skipper can have a big pre-season and get back to his absolute best. Seemed to be holding back a little this season due to his injuries early in the season. A fit and firing Walker can determine whether we finish top 4 or not. Can you imagine our side from this year and a Walker in his 2012 form.
he'll never be that player again because he has a completely different physique now. he has lost all of his ability below the knees.

Agree with this.
There was a replay of a 2011 game during the season and I couldn't believe how mobile and agile Walker was then compared with now.
He's bigger now so can compete a bit better in marking contests but it's not a strength the way his other tricks were.

He's still got plenty of tricks. He's still very good below his knees, perhaps not pre knee levels but still above average for his size.
