Great stuff wayne
I typed up a summary too but wayne's got it all down
----------------------------------------
Season so far? - yeah not ideal start to the year after such high expectations and then losing the coach. Hopes we turnaround the season from here on.
Achilles? - coping well now with the load. Have a structure in place and routine. Too much load caused the problem. Missed last preseason so tried to catch up on thse ahead of him this preseason. Not an ongoing problem. Just a young body and learning to cope with the loads of AFL. Med team is switched on and took their advice.
West Coast game? - younger guys in and had a go. We trust each other but it's just a case of doing it onfield.
Rawlings? - wants us to play as a team and our defensive structures. Winning the ball back and limiting opposition scoring.
Gamestyle? - as he said working more on our defensive side of the game. Better defence means we're under less pressure and can attack and open the game up.
Cousins? - showing him the ropes and teaching you how to push to the next level. No matter how fit you can push yourself to another level. Playing for team too. Doesn't want to impede your game but just a few pointers throughout an actual game to help you. Not just the mids but defenders as well.
Richo? - doing all the rehab and working really hard. Thinks the club can get another year out of him.
Expectation on himself and as a future captain? - doesn't hear it too much. Wants to be a leader. It's a personal goal. Kane Johnson taught him a lot about leadership. In the junior leadership goup at the moment. Learning the most from past and current leaders at the club.
Round 1 (did it kill the confidence and was expectation too much)? - after winning 8/11, Cousins coming and all yeah it did take a bit of the confidence away and on what we had worked on. It didn't help for the next couple of games and it showed which didn't help. Not what we needed to start the season.
Wallace sacking talk? - club and Terry under pressure. Media here everyday put extra pressure on the club and it showed on field. We're pretty happy now we can turn up to the club and don't have the media there all the time.
Terry? - said before his last game as coach to think about giving it your all and in the future. Put in 4 quarters and remember everyone who helped you in your career.
Cambo? - terrific for us mids. Teaching when to hold and spread and working on structures.
Interchange rotations? - yeah you need those 2-3 min breaks.
St Kilda game? - want to put pressure on them from the start. If we can do that we'll be a real good show. He believes we match-up well with them in a few areas.
