In the first part of an exclusive interview with Fox Sports, Western Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade looks ahead to the AFL premiership season after another near miss in 2009.
You're smarter than me TCD. I only saw a bit of the interview on Fox Sports, so I've been stalking the channel trying to catch the whole thing. Never thought to look on the net.
So thanks for that.
Got goose bumps watching Guido put us in front late in the 3rd.

Yep, took me right back to those moments. Some of the best feelings (Gia's goal) and worst feelings (Rooy's soccer goal) that I've ever felt. A real rollercoaster of a ride.
The interview with Rocket was pretty good. I think Fox Sports do a great job and ask much better questions than the papers and various other forms of media. Glad to hear that he still has high hopes for the likes of Grant, who cops a fair bit of heat from our supporters.
Must say, Rocket really seems to know how to handle this group of players. When he first came to the club, he talked about them being in their shell and lacking leadership and confidence. No doubting we're a completely different side now, and in better shape than we've ever been in. It'd be easy to study the PF loss too hard and take the players concentration off actually following key instructions for 2010. On the flip side, you don't want them to forget about it either so it can be a difficult balance but one that Eade seemingly gets right every time.
Seeing the 09 prelim highlights in this vid, even the good parts still hurts.
Fox replayed the game this morning (Monday) while I was on the treadmill at the gym. Must have looked pretty weird when I gave a fist pump around the 3km mark when Johnno kicked one from the pocket then Gia followed up with his snap around the body.

Classic stuff
TBB - you are right. There is a fair bit more thought put into a lot of these questions than the usual rubbish dished up elsewhere.
In the first part of the video its actually quite interesting where they talk about developing young players in a side that is challenging for a premiership,
I liked that he still says they have high hopes in 2010 for Reid, Wood, Grant, Tiller, Stack, and talks about how Roughie will get development opportunities in the NAB cup - which we know.
