    Yep, Treloar is a massive pick up. The energy he brings is undeniably what our one paced midfield desperately needed.
    Thanks DG. Feeling a bit better today.

A bloke in a cheap suit walked up and flashed a warrant card and said "my name is constable So-and-so from the traffic division. We are conducting a blitz against Jay walkers in the city today and I just observed you cross against the lights"

    He got his notebook out and opened it up and as he did it he said "can I ask where you are in such a hurry to get too today?" I said I was running late for an appointment to have my wisdom teeth out at which point he shut his notebook, put it away and said "well in that case sir I will let you go on your way because your day is about to get a whole lot worse and I don't want to add to it.

    He was dead right too.
    Thanks, great story.

    I have been quoting that today.

    Interesting question about the third man up, and Tom Boyd's opinion that it had a major impact on our fortunes in the years after 2016. Bevo basically agreed, noting that while we trained for it and used it to our benefit. He followed up by noting the major issue we had in the ensuing years was the huge changes in personnel that took place after the close of the 2017 season, which probably supports the theory (whatever we want to call the process of putting the right list together to compete again) that it was a huge factor in how we performed.

    Further to Tom's comments that the third man up was an advantage we pushed, he also claimed the stationary man on the mark has benefitted our wish to play free flowing football. Bevo in this instance suggested that we trained really hard on how to defend it, which was also insightful.
    Been quite a bit of discussion on twitter regarding the press conference (length & quality). Besides Jude Bolton I believe lots of the questions were asked by Cody Atkinson (ABC) who has penned the following article which has lots of interesting points.

    Great article.

    Also interesting to listen to Craig Jennings discuss how we defend and rely on the mids to help the defenders. If they don't get back fast enough, he says we are not good at defending one on one.

    We certainly play a different brand of footy than any other team - the genius of Bevo
