good article. he seems to have a passion for playing for the club which is good.

interesting last line of the article.....i think it says a fair bit about where we are at. i think this is the mentality that we are entering pre season with and possibly the unofficial slogan for 2007. we certainly have a lot of ground to make up.....

Bode was a shining light at the end of the year. It was refreshing to have something to look forward to in a terrible season. Especially when coming from where he came from, he said in the article himself that he came from "a long way back" -- that's a massive understatement. He was a true bolter, came from absolutely nowhere.

It's up to him now to make the next step. I'm looking forward to seeing if he does.

I can't wait to see what Bode produces with a full pre-season. Maybe he could do a Belly and come from no-mans land to becoming a token defender.

Nice to see he has passion for his club, and teammates

Bode has a key ingredient that most of our blokes don't have.....PACE!!!!

Got better with each AFL game and I remember Frawley and Healy raving on about him during the Foxtel coverage of the Carlton game at the end of the year.

One to look out for.

He was originally expected to go to the Crows or Power in the Pre season draft of 2005. Hopefully he'll make them regret their decision.

Token defender??

this bloke is pretty much the most well liked bloke in he team. everyone loves him! you can tell he is just gonna give it his all this pre season! i love body and i hope he turns out to be a gun. he could maybe take bellys spot ( his best friend) which wud free him up to the midfield

GO BODEY!

Still has a lot of work to do based on what I saw at Sandringham. His major problem is that he's a bit too onr-sided for mine. If he can do something about that then his career is on its way!

Like this kid alot.

Great pace as stated above and seems to have a cool head.

Hopefully he can cement a spot early in the year.

My crystal ball shows a breakthru year for him.

I really hope he can trun into a quicker version of WCE's Priddis (i think its spelt that way ...if not who cares)
