Personally can't wait for this bloke to resume (which may be as early as this week in the ressies).
Is reportedly in the best shape of his career (lower skinfolds than Brad), and MUST be champing at the bit.
I reckon it's all or nothing, though. He must perform (I don't doubt that he will, though). To me, teams started to try and exploit him from 2002 onwards (by trying to isolate him one our in defence), and through a lack of pace (I assume due to his ongoing groin problems), he was struggling a little. Hopefully this wont happen again.
He was awesome (albeit in a bad side) in '98, and really showed a knack for finding the ball. From there, he became a rock-solid defender who made the "third man in" an art form. Unlike Jason Cloke, he could still defend one out, and could actually do damage the other way.
Here's hoping he gets back to where he was pre-O.P.........
