Next year will be fourth proper pre-season for most of them. McKay one less but those guys collectively going to be physically stronger next season and more cohesion with each other. They are like the chore of our re-birth and their impact next year could catapult us knocking on door of finals or bang down door if we actually got a decent run at it from injuries for once. Excites me how far physically developed Russell will have them after he been here 18 months.

This.
I like analysis, and I like for there to be a basis for an argument. Can't help thinking, though, that attempts to turn sport into an equation ruin the s**t out of it. Makes them better at winning, but makes the spectacle worse.
Bloody hell, Levi did drop a shitload of weight. Looks like he did nothing but arms in the gym last off-season.

Cogs on sportsnight. Was asked about A.A captaincy and straight away pumped for crippa and went on to say how much he admired him as a footballer.
If only. Ah.
If only. Ah.
Have to say after listening to Barrett's podcast with Cain Liddle, Comes accross as very genuine and very comfortable he is our CEO.

Haven't listened to poddy yet, but his media/PR work is exceptional in my opinion.
He answers honestly and clearly. No long-winded BS.
Never gets tripped up when a journo lobs a curly question aimed trying to get him to say something he doesn't want to. Doesn't get caught, but doesn't change the subject either. Gives the answer he wants to/is able to.
Basically stays on message. Very slick operator and who I want representing this club in public.

Wait. Where's the punchline? What did you do with the real ferris?
PS I couldn't agree more with your post.

Cain is very able....
Does Liddle cancel out the unbelievable annoyance that is Damien Barrett? I saw it but I'm not sure I'll be able to deal with Barret...
Very amusing quote from our coach in an article at The Age today on Coniglio re-signing: "You curl up in a ball and cry".
I think it's good to have a laugh and show some personality.

You should listen to the whole thing, there's a few nuggets like that in there. He's fantastic to listen to.
At the risk of being dumped into the ol man(i'm not) bin by stat devotees, the over reliance on stats, stats, stats in a complex game is maddening. They have their place and usefulness, but footy is an intuitive game whereby game knowledge and eyesight should still be the driver of analysis.
I'm a fox footy subscriber, and honestly they may as well rename the channel The Champion Data Channel. Nearly ALL their analysis is Champion Data fed these days. And not just by David King either. It is infesting the game.
I would honestly like a Big Footy tag that denotes someone who doesn't play Supercoach or equivalent and who doesn't head str8 to the stats after a game, so i could get a better idea of who/what i am conversing with sometimes.
Yeah, it was about 6 months or so ago that i became clear in my mind that we've got a good un. Forget the exact occasion, mightn't have been a big one, just sometimes it just hits you.
Good call. Good listen, thanks.
Listening to the Teague interview, i think i know where and how the turnaround on recruiting B.Ellis occurred now.
Around the 6.20 to 7.30 min mark.
If it were a cat, you could call it Pancake Pud.
Love those interviews with Liddle and Teague. It's not just the media skills, though they both have that in spades. It's the sense you get for what they bring to their jobs, their passion and commitment, and how they're approaching the challenges ahead of them. Delighted to have them both at the club in those roles.
Nice interview here with Diesel about Crippa as he wins the league MVP award...

‘Diesel’ fuelling Cripps to become the best

Levi is a ******* unit and playing the best footy of his career.
Actually I disagree. I thought the Podcast show a side of Barrett I hadn't seen before and thought his interview style and questions were good. He should stick to this more 'serious' side of journalist rather than trying to be a shock jock.
Cain Liddle - wow - how impresssive. If people haven't listened they should do themselves a favour. My only worry is Cain might end up a Brendan Gales 2IC running the AFL when Gil get's booted !!
