SEN interview with Josh Mahoney

[mo64 5,881]

Firstly Josh Mahoney comes across as an extremely intelligent and well spoken person. Here's a summary of responses to the player related questions:

I've been impressed by a few players that I didn't know much about, being Colin Garland, James Frawley and Buckley.

Brock McLean, Nathan Jones and Brad Miller have the best work ethic.

Ricky Petterd is currently at 75%, and will join in full training shortly.

Aaron Davey will have short bursts in the midfield.

Fairly typical SEN Morning Glory interview. You don't get much!

Brock McLean, Nathan Jones and Brad Miller have the best work ethic.

Probably explains why Miller has made it back into the leadership group despite the protestations of some outsiders.

His comments about Miller having a strong work ethic, certainly explains how he could poll well in the leadership voting during preaseason.

It's exciting to hear about two of our developing key position players impressing .....These guys are like finding Gold and finding them has been a long time coming

Thanks Mo.

I thing Garland could be a real improver this year. He showed some glimpes of real class at Sandringham last season. From all reports he's really stacked on some muscle and is training the house down. Don't be surprised if he is a walk up start in our best 22 by the end of the season.

And where do you think he will play from what you have seen/ heard?

He's a goal kicker so I'd like to see him up forward but a forward line with Neitz, Newton, Robertson and Garland seems abit top heavy so I'm not sure.

Perhaps that is a sacrafice that they need to make in order to blood a replacement/s for Neitz.

Although, any experience in the backline this year should serve as a good apprenticeship for a future career in the forwardline. From what I have seen, he is reasonably capable below his knees aswell

For what it is worth, he is my tip for the biggest improver this year.

Heard Buckley's name mentioned in a few of these off-season reports as one who has been impressing. Let's hope he can take a step up this season and cement his place in the 22 and give us a bit of pace and run through the midfield.

Garland is an interesting one can't say I was overly impressed with anything I saw last season but that's to be expected I guess as he gets a feel for it at the highest level, I to would like to see him played up forward rather than down back this year.

One Garland, put him down back for a couple of years, get a good defensive side to his game and then put him up forward
