Alan Richardson on SEN (3/3/23)

Let me guess:

• Happy with Grundy and how he's fitting in. Working well with Max - and will build during the year
• BBB close to injury free for the first time in 47 years
• All the boys in rehab progressing well, some better than anticipated
• Connection is important and the playing group have a strong focus on that
• Delighted with Hunter and offers us a real chop-out going forward into the space
• Kossie is not being pressured and he'll sign when he's comfy - and we are comfy with that - and Port are comfy, Kossie's accountant is comfy as is Mrs. Kossie
• JVR is being monitored and we won't be rushing him
• Kossie is stepping up and will spend more time rotating through the middle - offers us a real change-up in our structures
• The Dogs are a strong outfit - we have a lot of good games against them and really respect them. They'll came hard at us in a couple of weeks
• We'll look a bit different with Jacko going back to Perth - but we'll structure a little differently and Grunds offers us new flexibility going forward
• Yeah nah, we're pretty confident that if we stick to our game style and play the way we wanna play and get the game on our terms, exiting the fat-side of the ground can become a real weapon for us
• Kicking for goal is something we've been working pretty hard on at the footy club
• The footy department are pretty sure that if we just go out and play four quarters of good footy each week we can get the chocolates

But of course nothing will beat Alan Jeans' observation after Horethgorn had won yet another preliminary final in the 1980's

'We were just happy to get the four point today."

Love his little dig at KC in the intro 

[Jaded No More 68,974]

He is a very dull speaker. I don't know if we are going to win the flag or the spoon, such is his enthusiasm 

But I suppose his job now is to manage the footy department and I can't possibly fault him for the work he has done.

Interesting to note when talking about Kossie's position, that Richo mentioned Jason Cripps the PA list manager and not any other of the WA clubs or Crows. Not sure PA have any currency to bring Kossie in, will take at least 2 first round picks and something else. Thoughts ?

I’d call it measured.

Cornes is clearly going to bat for Port and Richardson was implying whether Corns was now Port's list manager. 

A cheeky dig on Richardson's part.

What’s the latest with Fritsch?

For anyone without Spotify, trying to limit Kane/King exposure and wondering at what point Richo starts, it is at 1 hr 30 min mark.

We have two monotone footy leaders and one Choco Williams

 

The balance is about right
