[Igloo]

Hey guys, we've got the opportunity to send through some questions for Tory Dickson for the podcast this week. So if you have a question for Dicko, post it in this thread, and you might be lucky enough to have it answered.

Please be sensible.

What key aspect did the coaches wanted you to train on during the off season.
Do you see yourself becoming a midfielder?

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

What's been the hardest thing to adapt to since coming into an AFL system?

Of the youngsters that have come into the club since you were drafted, who has impressed you the most?

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

Your gut-running to create opportunities and goal-kicking was excellent for Footscray on Saturday, is consistency in those aspects the key to cementing a spot in the senior team or are you working on adding further aspects to your game - work around stoppages, locking the ball in and so on?

 

[threenewpadlocks]

How many clubs looked at drafting you? Apart from the Dogs and Essendon, were there any clubs that nearly took you or were very serious about taking you?

What are the noticeable differences for a mature aged draftee heading into the 'system' rather than a 18 year old?

You were a talented Tennis player and I'm pretty sure that Easton Wood decent youth cricketer. Do any of the players have any other sporting talents that we wouldn't know about?

Who do you reckon is a good candidate for be the next captain for the Dogs?

I was watching at Footscray last week when you were playing, you looked a class above. Your goal sense is amazing and your footy smarts are great. Who do you think is the most natural footballer is at the club?

How much does Macca connect with each player? Does he have favourites, and if so who are they? Does he take time out to personally talk to players when they're struggling, or explain what you need to work on personally?

Just to reiterate.

Please be sensible.

Whats his thoughts on the other forwards at the club?? Mainly Crameri, Jones and Stringer.

Not a question, but damn we need him up and going. Gia is our only natural forward with Dickson sitting out. We see Gia's impact every time he comes on. We need Dickson out there from the first bounce, but he has to earn a game first.

I think you can also put Hunter in this category.

Well maybe it's THE question we need to ask. Let's not dance around the key issue.

Why are you not getting a game after your great form at the end of 2013?
Do you think your form has dropped off a bit since then? If so, why?
Are you expecting a call up to the seniors any time soon?

 

[Testekill]

Just how different was playing for Noble Park to when you were playing at Frankston & Bendigo?
Who is, pound for pound, the strongest player at the club?
How often do you sledge opponents on the field?

 

[Testekill]

Please be sensible.

Ahem. This is the second time that this post has to be pointed out.
