I reckon a question around where he sees the improvement needed to win the flag? And will it come it wholly from within plus the draft, or does he see the need for adding some mature first grade talent (i.e. not the Elliott Himmelberg type)? In either case, what does he see as our greatest need (inside midfielders, winger, etc)?
He is very forthcoming.
Western Sydney or Canberra?
In that case, ask him who his favourite GWS Board poster is!
Both!
I suspect some players would lurk.
This. The players always without exception spend time with the young fans. They politely answer even the most inane questions my kids have asked. And not just the players - the membership team is also exceptionally responsive
Brilliant!Went into the club today and had a good chat with some of the coaches. Few points:
*Aleer is under the pump to hold his spot this week
*slammer hit the training track which was earlier than expected
- Keefe comes up every week at match committee about coming in as third tall
- Go home factor is actually part of conversation at match committee which doesn’t happen at other clubs
*Gawn is out for 2-3 weeks but the 4th game they play is a short turn around so possible he misses the 3 weeks due to short turnaround to follow
- Cooper was busy filming a new clip
- the overlap run from defence. We are very good at taking advantage of it when it presents but can struggle to set it up
- Conor Stones move to the backline in the VFL as been such a success that he is pretty much next in line as a defender
- picks like for like replacements when injuries occur and what they play in VFL is where they will play at AFL. If we have an injury up front a HH won’t be playing forward for example or Cumming playing back
- said to him”who is your favourite player and why is it Bucks” he had a good chuckle as he said it’s cause he does his job
- told king as I was booking a September holiday at quarter time, he laughed and said so was he
I love our club. All the players were very welcoming to my young blokes and giving of their time. Alicia Eva took my oldest (6yo) for kick to kick to warm up before her training kicked off

Any discussion that Derksen could be a chance? Is he injured?Went into the club today and had a good chat with some of the coaches. Few points:

Went out sick from the VFL on the weekend so doubtful. Only comment I got about derkson was he was up against it with the guys in front of him. My impresssion was more that Aleer was more likely to go out to retain Fonti (rather than alter for Denison) in the side cause tigers don’t play a tall forward line.

Nothing to seeKingsley strongly advocating for Brett Montgomery for the West Coast head coaching role. Brett’s family are in Adelaide whilst he coaches us, so he may have been lost to us even if he doesn’t get this job, as there were reports that the Adelaide sides wanted him as an assistant coach for next year.
Kingsley ponders next run-with role, backs sidekick for Eagles gig
Adam Kingsley says the Eagles would be mad to look past Giants assistant Brett Montgomery for the vacant coaching role
Great news!!
ya reckon 1 year would be adequate? or should we go after Kenny?
Yeah ... let's risk losing him. No one was ever interested in Ken ... Kingsley is different
I agree. Culture has done a 180. Players love him and it creates security that might help players sign on.
