Dea's determination ...

http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2015-03-10/deas-determination* The hamstring injury a little bit frustrating. I got a good start to the pre-season and then had a little hammy issue that’s kept me down for a few weeks. It’s a long season ahead that I need to be right for. So I’ve been cautious at this stage, just trying to get on top of the hammy and then be right for the whole year hopefully. Over the next two to three weeks, I’ll build up some speed running and just keep working hard on my strength in the gym and then hopefully play a game which would be nice. I think I’ll be struggling to get a NAB Cup game in but there’s a VFL practice game in between the end of NAB and start of Round 1, so that’d be great to get.
* At the end of the day I got dropped [in round 16 after playing 7 games straight], but I had some good continuity in there. I’m looking forward to hopefully playing a few more this year.
* I think naturally, I’m a bit better at playing that lockdown role but I do like having the footy in my hands. I think I’ve become a better kick, so I’m definitely more confident with the footy. I’m more than happy to try and get a few more touches.
* At the start of pre-season, I wanted to play every game. I wanted to start Round 1 and hold that throughout the year. But obviously now, with a little bit of a setback, I think I’ll just try and get into the senior side as early as I can and hold out the rest of the year and hopefully play a finals game. I haven’t done that yet, so I’d really love to be part of a finals side.
