Good read, proper journalism, stark contrast to the crap you get in the Herald Sun all the time. No opinions/ego, letting the subject tell the story. Like the comments about leadership. Some times the coach/coaches can go on all they like but not get through to individuals doing the wrong thing, sometimes when team mates give the message it can get through however. A few of our boys have the talent but not the application on the track or the field. Strong leadership on the field/track might be what we need to see the best out of guys like Yarran and Lucas. It's why some young players do better and progress better in the AFL among the older more mature and outspoken players than they do in the VFL playing with other kids, fringe players and VFL listed players. It's why Melbourne's rebuild is going so poorly and their young players aren't fulfilling their potential.

Good fun!
Robbo and Curnow looked as if they'd slept there and had just woken up.
I liked where Yaz was trying to look serious for his photo but cracked up.
And the promotional shots on the field. (Sigh...) Good old Princes Park, eh.
How I miss it on game days... reminds me, I must make sure I catch the next open training session at least, for a PP fix. 
Go you good thing! Start the season already! Come on. I'm champing at the bit!

Liked the video but to call it amazing is bit far fetched.
(audio-only) Mick admits he got it wrong on 5AA regarding Arizona.
Players hated freezing their arses off and kicking a footy in the snow doesn't simulate match-day. Looking for a mountain range in the southern hemisphere for late spring altitude training. (Hello, the Andes?)
Likes the player's names on the back of jumpers.
Leadership spread a good thing - team were too dependent on Judd.

That article is horribly written. Looks like the gap in journalistic quality between The Age and Herald Sun is closing.
Seriously, it was a struggle to read that. Appalling grammar.

You mean, The Aged is catching up?
Catching down sir... Catching way, way down.You mean, The Aged is catching up?
I'm smelling some blouseless about the kid and not too many jumped in to sway me otherwise from my original thoughts and concerns who'd have done a lot more research on him than me. I very nervous about Doc and am not as bullish about him as others. I really hope he proves me wrong in the NAB cup.

Most of us wouldn't know a lot about him unless we concentrated on his dozen or so Lions games. There is a highlights video out there. He doesn't shirk the contest and lacks nothing in intensity in that video but they are hardly going to show physical contests where he doesn't come up with the ball. He's no hard nut type but I reckon he goes when it is his turn and he reads the ball better than most so his game isn't built around clearing paths for others.

Let's see how things pan out this year, but no problem with Waite one year contracts for as long as he is performing. Played some of his best footy over the last two years.
I love to see Waite in the side just because most of the time his strong marking gives confidence to the other players up there.
Still harbour hope that a 22 game season from Waite results in an AA squad nomination.
He played a bit back last year and still managed to average ~2 goals a game. Add to that his 6-7 marks and 12-15 disposals a game and I think that's a very productive season. Bloke just needs to stay on the park is all.
