Not sure if anyone saw it, but Ross was on the afl twitter account today. Question was asked "how many good years in Michael johnson" Ross replied "I have linked him to my tenure... I hope he stays the next 10 years!!"

Nice to hear Ross has intentions of staying, although it could be a throw away comment. I've always worries he would tire of Perth and move back home to Vic. Although no basis for that concern really.

It was a good feed anyway. Other comments of note.

Morabito to be unleashed in the next couple of weeks

Sunna has had an unbelievable preseason but suspended in round 1 so we will see him in round 2

Zac Clarke is integral to our ruck combination as he compliments sandi very well.

Bradley has the capacity to come into the side very soon

Alex Pearce has really surprised the club with his upside they see him as a key forward or a key defender

Hayden crozier is expected to make a big impact this year

Nice to see Ross answered my question about Pearce. at 200+ it will be interesting if they go the forward or defence role for him. It may hinge on who retires first out of McPharlap and Pav.

Always up for a laugh is our Ross:

@JasonKeegan1973: How bad was Fyfe? Any chance to miss further games?
RL: Expect that he'll play next week, definitely play round one. Is that you Bucks??
.

@Dazzbart: Hi Ross, will Sandilands play in round one?
RL: Yes, he's the best rover we've got at the minute based on last night!
@Dazzbart: yeah he was a star last night, he's in my dream team [:rolleyes:]

Currently checking review of The Talent Code. Probably place an order.

PS Ross, Thinking Fast and Slow is brilliant, in case you're reading this.

Ross made a couple of financial decisions in the past that didn't work out for him.

So as long as the coin is good at Freo he will be happy.

But long term, the pull of family and friends is always significant.

The key thing for him in WA is that when ordering his lunch he has to remember to say "Polony and sauce sandwich would be mintox, thanks."

In Victoria, they would say, "Devon and sauce sandwich would be grouse, thanks"

But on the flip side, in Victoria they don't have Kole beer, spearmint milkshakes, nice mussels, steakburgers or stuzzico pizza.

The steakburger thing is weird. They will do you a steak sandwich and they will do you a burger... but ask for the steak in a burger bun and whoah!

Oh and the custard powder over here is crap and all the supermarket beef is tasteless grainfed nonsense. I still buy my steak from a butcher in WA. You should see the look on a Sydneyite's face when they taste a decent dry climate grassfed bone-in sirloin.

Am i off topic?
