Training 2020 Pre Season Training

I've watched a bit so far, it's so so. I don't think too many other movies will have the same energy as Casino & Goodfellas, those two are absolute all time classics that'll probably be spoken about 100 years from now.
Goodfellas and Casino could watch on repeat.

BEN CROCKER: I was a little surprised to be picked up by Adelaide. I watched the rookie draft at Collingwood. It's good to be here and have the support of Tyson Goldsack too.

What does this mean?
He's living with Tyson in Adelaide

What does this mean?
Goldsack is playing for Port Adelaide in the SANFL this year. They must be friends, or at least friendly enough that they'd keep in contact still.

What does this mean?
Goldsack took a job at Port Adelaide. They're probably just good mates that have moved at the same time, one home and one away from home.

It's weird. Goldsack is joining Port Magpies as a player and development coach.
Perhaps they're room mates or drinking buddies?

Not sure. Tyson has a young child, so a room mate might not be the way to go for him, assuming the family have come with.
 
I think he has summed up Tex perfectly...

BEN CROCKER: When I was at Collingwood playing against Tex I thought I'd never like him. But since the day I walked in he's being one of the best blokes. He's so genuine, he's funny. I've really clicked with him

It's the Dad jokes. That's a worry.

Is that a quote from "Footballistics"? I swear I read those very same words, or something very similar, a couple of months ago.
I've read about this in a book called outliers. They were using hockey as their example but likely applies the same for footy as well.

Looking at the upper body development you can certainly see the guys that have been in a full time AFL environment....:)

Edit : And even the difference in the TAC/NAB League lads that have been in that system for a few years McAsey and Worrell compared to Gollant who was only plucked out of the AGSV school system by the Calder Cannons mid season 2019...
