Reports suggesting that the group has never felt this tight-knit, the boys are really pulling together, feeling the disappointment of falling away in the back half of this season, and are 100% committed to leaving nothing on the park next season. (c)
@CJohns posted a tweet of Redman the other day. He was speaking on a podcast. I’m trying to be positive, but hearing what Redman was saying about the club / direction etc, I couldn’t help feel a little miffed about the disconnect about what he was saying compared to my perception of how went about his footy, body language and demeanour in the last half of 2024. Sometimes it’s reasonable to critique their words against their actions. I might be alone on this example though.
Still regularly have players deep into holiday season at the Hangar training. Kako being 1 of about 6 there today (Duz, Reid & Rids) . One of the ovals now fully re-surfaced.
Amusing players instagram overseas pics with at least 1 of a gym or running track. Letting coach know😀
Think Reid is a professional kid who truly wants to be the best he can be, just needs some god damn continuity. Please dear lord give the boy some luck.
It was a poor interview on Backchat. It was done at the tail end of the season when the club was imploding. Not much useful information to glean from that podcast.
I’m hoping for that from Archie Perkins, first and foremost. He hasn’t lived up to promise so far, and I’ll bet that a really hard, “Jobe-like”, pre-season would do wonders for him. There are about a dozen others who would benefit from it too.
I briefly popped into the hanger this morning and both ovals are fully surfaced. The main training oval looks freshly laid so I doubt they will be training on it for the next month.
Caldwell was there so he must be back from the states.
No one else sighted and not much else happening out there, wish I had more to report sorry.
Jakes not borderline flying, he is actually flying up to Sydney, trying to find an apartment around Bondi, which is the go to area for rich 20 something footy players. Apparently.
I might be off the mark and just being a miserable so and so and granted I don’t see Melbourne news so maybe iam wrong
But I’ve seen news clips of the crows guys training and then see gws guys training together but a fair majority of our guys I follow on instagram are still jet setting around the world
