Re: Preseason Training - 2020
They were great days-I virtually grew up kicking the footy around the terraces at Whitten Oval. One day they got a bunch of us to shoot handballs at Kelvin Templeton-you know me I'm an upfront kind of guy, ask me to have a go at something and I will give it a try and I don't exactly do the shrinking violet thing but this day I was so nervous that I managed to hit KT on the back of the head with the third or fourth handball i tried which was a pretty good effort because I was standing directly in front of him!
In fact I am pretty sure that was the day I decided that nerves just held you back and if you get an opportunity to do something like that then take it. That's how I met Joey Ramone, I saw him sitting outside Festival Hall as we went past on the train so we got off at North Melbourne, barged up to the man and said "Giddaye" we ended up speaking for an hour or so.
