Will write a review after he's been on.

[Ghost 0]

Was asked if he would be back this week. Said he's been 'doing his bit' down at Casey and that he is 'loving his football again.' Said the conditions down at Frankston on the weekend were the worst conditions he's ever played in.

Was asked if he's felt any limitations physically coming back off the injury. Said he 'feels it' during warmups but as soon as the ball is bounced it goes away. Said he hasn't had any problems leading 'back and forwarth, back and forwarth' working hard to escape defenders, or 'dancing' as he says Bails calls it.

Was asked if he had noticed any changes in the game since doing his injury. Said he's been watching alot of football and observing other forwards and how they play. Said some players are finding it hard to adjust to new rules changes. Said he doesn't like the focus on running into the umpire. Said all players are trying to do is get the ball or beat their man and once in while in the 'hustle and bustle' players and umpires might collide and that it was wrong that a player should be fined or suspended for something that is essentially an accident. Didn't mention Rivers' fine.

Was asked about the Cats and in particular Ablett Jnr and how the club would go about stopping him. Said what makes him so damaging is not only the number of disposals he collects but also his ability to go forward and kick goals. Said Bartram would mostly likely be given the task and tagging him. Said Clint's dad's funeral was today and that his 'mantra' was 'go hard or go home' and that is how Clint goes about his football.

Was asked about umpires being critiqued in the media by club officials, such as Kennett. Said he felt umpires should be protected so kids would be interested in becoming umpires.

Was asked about Michael O'Laughlin's return for the Swans. Said it was great for him to be back and that the Swans need another forward target.

Was asked about Dick Pratt's death and how much of a motivation it will be for the Blues in the remainder of the season. Said it was a similar situation following Troy Broadbridge's death. Said it was a year long motivating force but that it was hard to think about week in week out.

That is all.

That is all.

Well done Ghost. Well summarised. I watched it, he seems pretty positive about this week, without giving too much away.

Thanks for that Ghost. Lets hope Robbo can have a positive first game back and kick at least 3 goals. Set his season up to hopefully kick about 50!
