He mentions that he isn't injured (great news), that he has elite pace and nice endurance.

Sorry to encroach on your domain

Just saw an interview with Corey on Foxsports. Pretty impressive young man

I wish him well and look forward to watching him during the season

Thanks for the info.

If I can find the footage (no luck after a quick search then) I'll post for all Hotline fans to see.

I found it, thanks. A great interview, I loved his confidence. I also loved the fact that the reporter even used the exact wording of my sig.

For some reason I can't link the video but just search "Eagles nab baseballer" and it's the first link that comes up.

As my daughter said 'those arms'

He could have the cheesiest grin in the AFL

 

[flamingEMBERS]

His touch still looks awkward, hopefully a year at the royals will change that.

 

[Suma Magic]

He's back in training which is great news. I don't think he would have lost too much of his fitness.

I can't seem to find it either in Google or by going to fox sports directly.

A couple of photos of Hotline from today's training. He trained well, but struggled a bit when put in defence in the match simulation.

Thanks Suma. I think they should put him in the guts and just tell him to smash packs and get the footy. His size and pace would be a worry to the opposition if he can get his hands on it.

Adamson looks like an absolute power athlete. Beast.
Would love him to break his way into the team in a couple years time. Really hoping he makes it.

How many of these players are named Corey?

Thought perhaps a highlight of the real life Corey's that spawned the joke was appropriate. Perhaps for younger people that didn't realise the hold a couple of Corey's had on the world at the time. Note - movie doesn't include awesome "I wear my sunglasses at night" Corey Hart which due to wearing solar eye protection gear when there was nix solar radiation about was massive at the time as well.

Happily watching on

Simpson talks about Hotline in this interview from around 5:00 to 5:45.

No new comments, just talking about his natural athletic ability, and the amount he still has to learn about the modern game.

Interesting they're talking about grooming him for a half back role.
