You certainly know how to get a player to open up.

Especially about his private life.

You should talk to the club about you interviewing players for the club website .

Seriously.

( and paying $$$ ! )

I really don’t get them to open up though, but if they feel like talking I’m happy to listen.

It’s the young guys and in particular the young interstate guys who seem to wanna share things and I understand why.

I’m not special but there’s something I know I’m good at and that’s listening. It sounds silly to say that but listening is a dying art. It’s on the endangered species list. It’s a shame because it’s so valuable and important.

On the contrary SlartiSmartArze, Kalani actually loves a chat. Yes I talk a lot but he gives me a run for my money. Kolt, Luker, AMW and Ricky M among others similarly love to chat. And when I say chat I mean they talk, I listen. True story.

There’s this line from Fight Club…

“When people think you are dying, they really, really listen to you, instead of just waiting for their turn to speak.”

This should apply to everyone. Too many times people aren’t listening to each other coz they’re thinking about what they wanna say when it’s their turn to speak.

Training is at Casey Fields tomorrow and Friday. As per usual these are closed sessions. The boys have Thursday off. Saturday morning at 10:30am there’ll be a captain’s run at Gosch’s.

Tonight they’re at the soccer match being played at AAMI. Not compulsory, they just enjoy hanging out together.

I had the distinct displeasure of watching Essendon this week vs Norf

My goodness what a rabble of a club they are - if we lose to them in gather round like we have done before my head may explode

Like all seasons, lose to Essendon the season is a fail.

Don't think so - he was the emergency on Sunday.

Thanks Slartz, my job would be easier if you and ‘Banger could drag your sorry arzes here. You know I’m not good at reporting which players are or aren’t here nor just reporting in general. 🤨

Now I’ve gotta face @Roost it far and his unreasonable demands on my own.

Sorry Ghosty - had to use up the last of the jet fuel. Will also miss Saturday's Captain's Run - your sole task is to spot the emergency....

So, not only wagging the captain’s run but setting me a task. Okaaaaay.
