Actually before this gets taken out of context I was referring to the fact he had his back to the action while the training was on! The A League fans will know what I am talking about.
Agree.
MM seems to know who needs a cuddle and a bit of love and who needs a kick up the tail.
Seems to pressing the right buttons with Jones - hope we see results when the real stuff starts.
FWIW - life will be a lot easier with Levi and Hendo alongside him than it ever was at the Dogs.
I assume putting the gloves on with White is some sort of ritualistic hazing for the rookies.
This is so true. Sometimes its also the one person who needs the cuddle or boot but at different times.
Also went today - very wet.
Haven't been to training for many years but a few observations.
1. Daisy Thomas must be one of those guys that lifts the mood of all around him. He was the most vocal and always smiling/laughing while doing the outdoor drills in spite of the pissing rain. I can understand why MM would always love to have someone like that in the group - even if it cost us plenty of $.
2. Menzel has put on some serious muscle - he would definitely have the size to spend more time in the heat in the middle.
3. Cripps looked like he was carrying a bit of puppy-fat last year. Body shape has changed considerably. Much more muscle upstairs and legs looking far more more athletic. I so hope he and Whiley can make big contributions this year - will transform our set up as a team if those 2 can be competitive in the guts.
Gibbs and Murph seemed quite quiet during drills. Jamo and Rowe far more "out there" (as was Thomas as above). Adds weight to statements form a couple of years ago that the group in general was quite introverted.
Oh and did I say Jones looked like Coleman/Kernahan/Ablett morphed into the 1 player!!

The bloke with the coffee cup looks like he should be in the crowd at a Western Sydney Wanderers game!
You've got an issue with me, buddy?
I.e. Chris Yarran.
MM gave him a giant rocket up the tail after his dummy spits as sub - then slowly cuddled him back into the team.
Exactly what was required!!

Were you perving on Jason Johnson inside at the cafe???
I was looking at this guy who knew the guy that he was looking at, that knew the kid that was looking at him and the guy in the white shirt was looking at the guy with the sunglasses who was looking at Malthouse, who gave him the finger which made him angry........I think it went like that.

But if you don't get there til 1/4 time....do you just go and sit with your back to the game the whole time?
