Cooney close to fitness
Ahmer Khokhar - The Age - 13 January
Western Bulldogs star Adam Cooney is expecting to be fully fit in time for the start of next month's pre-season NAB Cup.
Last season the Brownlow medallist managed just 13 games due to a troublesome knee injury, and in November was left out of the team's 2012 leadership group.
''I've made good progress with my knee and I should be at full fitness in about three weeks,'' Cooney told The Age.
He also revealed that new coach Brendan McCartney had prioritised improving the Bulldogs' defence.
''We've worked a lot on the defensive aspect of our play,'' Cooney explained. ''We don't want to miss the finals again.''
