He was probably mentally preparing to answer questions on Buckley's marriage break up and McGuire's departure.

was honestly surprised they didn't come up

I think there was some Eddie stuff that was edited out.

well i can only hope his response was "don't play for that team, don't care"

Not sure if I'm imagining it, but he looks more solid already. Those PT sessions must have paid off. I guess not having glandular fever over the preseason can only help as well.

Pretty cool for Kingy to help out at training.

’s thoughts re the Hardwick’s split.

 

[DunderHead]

Firstly, he looks great. Really healthy physically has a little more meat on his bones than he has the last 12 months. The blue suits him.

With regards to the interviews, I feel for the guys. There is only so many times they can say, ‘we’re really excited’ which must be the comms directive from the club.

Jaidyn doesn’t mind stopping himself mid-sentence and thinking of what he really wants to say. He’s impressive and will be a good person for interviews moving forwards because he does think of interesting things to say and he has an interesting back story/perspective.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Not sure if I'm imagining it, but he looks more solid already. Those PT sessions must have paid off. I guess not having glandular fever over the preseason can only help as well.

I thought so too, PM. Traps, lats and quads all looking bigger.

 

[shinboner magic]

Trying to maintain low expectations, but gee it’s difficult to see how Jaidyn won’t be successful.

- Smaller club - Less ego
- Rebuilding club - Lower outside expectations
- Group of talented kids coming through with him - Less spotlight
- Has been called a lazy trainer - Point to prove
- Balanced head coach - Let him be himself

It’s pretty exciting.

If he starts off slowing the pies fanbois in the media will lay into him.

 

[Groucho]

Pretty cool for Kingy to help out at training.

Yes. I don’t think Jack’s hairs long for this world

 

[Phillyroo]

Love this, good to see him putting extra work in.

 

[Zondor]

Heard a whisper that Noble is to give Stephenson a license to thrill. :stern look

 

[king of the road]

Heard a whisper that Noble is to give Stephenson a license to thrill. :stern look

Is that a physical license to thrill or the e-version?

He’d hate to leave it at home before the game then go do some outright thrilling stuff and get dragged. Cos he forgot his license.

Tell you what Passmore Jack looking great as well there.

Yep, that might grind his gears

 

[LB2Snake]

Yep, that might grind his gears

At least now we know how he got the piss in the cup.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Yep, that might grind his gears

 

[koshari]

Yep, that might grind his gears

I used to have one of those 52 decks of king of spades cards. Came in a magic trick showbag.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Yep, that might grind his gears

That's gold........haha

 

[Jindrrk]

I didn't follow the draft this year as I normally would. The China virus season just really made me a lot less interested as it wasn't proper.

Good to see him in our side. Seems we have injected various more speed into the side now.

 

[The Dougster]

He might frustrate us with the odd soft effort but he's exactly the kind of player we need. Lightning fast and kicks goals. If he puts in the work he's guaranteed to star for our footy club.
