Heres some quotes from the afl.com.au story about the ATSIC All stars game.
"Fremantle recruit Des Headland and Dockers’ team-mate Troy Cook were brilliant, picking up numerous possessions and running the Blues ragged. "
But this quote is my favourite...
McLean was impressed with Headland’s scintillating display.
“Dessie won a lot of hard ball for us, and threw his body on the line. He’s got a lot fitter and he’s lean and mean at the moment.”
:D
(just thought I'd share my excitement with you all!!)

You little ripper. Lean and mean; I love it. Good on Cookie as well. I predict a much improved season from the 2002 top tackler.

Problem is, he still can't kick! That's what stops him from being a better player than what he is. No point having the ball on a string if you can't pass it to a team mate accurately.

Our pre-season was focused on improving the skills of players, and I noticed a vast improvement in his kicking just from watching the ATSIC game. His kicks appeared more penetrating and weren't 'helicopters' that went 20 metres in distance and 50 metres in height. He seemed much more balanced when he was kicking as well.
Saw him slot a beautiful goal from 48 metres out, on a tough angle close to the boundary line from a set shot.

Watched the game and both were pretty impressive. Headland with his hard running and also impressed with his hardness at the ball. Cook did the 1%ers well and also found a lot of the ball. Good signs for the upcoming seasons.
Excellent news . Everyone will want our midfield.
Cook to Hedland, Hazelby to Hedland , Hedland to Pavlich, Carr to all of the above etc etc etc, get ready to hear it repeated ad nauseum all season.
Shwabby & CC you are legends.
