Porps was on 5AA a few minutes ago, saying that he still hadn't recovered from the 3 hour training session today.
They asked Porps what was the difference between training under Neil Craig and Sando, and he said basically not much apart from the bikes being tossed out and more strength work.
Any difference between last year and this year? A greater emphasis on running this year due to training starting 2 weeks later than last year.
Bones and Wildy commented on Porps strong physique and he said that he had worked hard on it to make sure that he had the strength in his shoulders to make sure that he got through the year okay - played 22 matches last year.
Porps went on to talk about Tex and what a brute he is now - over 100 kgs and setting new records in the gym. He sounded very much as if he is in awe of the beast that Tex has become.
They asked Porps about Kerridge - how was he looking? Porps said that he virtually had the body of a man last year and had come on nicely this year. Kerridge is one of that group who didn't get chances last year because of our good run with injuries.
When asked who had stood out to him trying to get into the side he said Lynch and Crouch. He said Lynch had been a stand out to him and that there is an opportunity for him this year (not sure about that myself.
He said that Crouch had been very impressive. Reminded him of a Patrick Dangerfield at the same age. All he wanted to do was to improve himself and asked a lot of questions about ways he could do it. Porps sounded really wrapped in Crouch and his approach to his football.
Finally, Wildy said that he had heard that a Crow had recently become engaged. Yes, said Porps, it's David Mackay who has successfully proposed to his girlfriend, but he's keeping all the details of the proposal to himself.
