One of the most humble and professional players I’ve had the pleasure of working with. His football has been as good as anyone recently. He will come back better, stronger...he knows no other way but hard work..... He may also have slightly bigger pipes...... 😜💪🏼

Dear
@susieob
. Please feel free to contact me, or any afl player/official, to discuss what this ‘freedom’ actually looks like and the impact it has had on mine and our families/ home life. Lazy, poorly researched and headline seeking journalism at its finest.
'Most of us can’t fly anywhere, but AFL stars and club officials have packed their surfboards and golf clubs and winged their way to freedom. It’s an unfair and disgraceful situation.' Thoughts? 👀

Loving the talk about Barcelona’s (lack of) pre game Warm Up. Pre game Warm Ups are easily one of the most over rated and over thought out aspects of a fitness coaches role.

Lazy, uneducated comment from someone with an influence who should know better. Just 10mins of research would refute this ‘theory’. I’d suggest getting rid of journalists would have a far greater impact on Oz cricket.

Dear selectors:
Always pick your best side. No resting. No rotating. No experimenting.
Just pick your best 11.
Whether it’s T-20, 50-overs or tests.

29 of the 32 first-round draft picks were two-sport athletes and 14 of the 29 were three-sport athletes. Next time your personal trainer or your coach tells you you need to specialize in football, maybe you really need a new trainer or coach.
