    Bulldogs dig in to middle-earth

    Sam Edmund - Herald Sun - 10 December


    Jumping-jack recruit Zephaniah Skinner was practising his giant leap
    while enjoying the scenic backdrop of Queenstown's nearby mountain range.


    IT MAY be the adventure capital of the world, but for the Western Bulldogs it has been far from your average Queenstown holiday.

    Yes, there's been jet boating, the odd bungee jump, a couple of skydives and renditions of the haka.

    But they have been brief exploits during the Dogs' arduous seven-day development and education program on New Zealand's South Island.

    The players were welcomed on Monday with a seven-hour hike through remote terrain atop the snow-covered Remarkables mountain range.

      Great leap.
      It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.

        Wow! That's quite a leap. It looks the others walked up the mountain and Zephi just jumped over the bloody thing.
        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            It looks like he got photographed after jumping out of a plane without a parachute (he could do that, you know).

                Trampoline? Or no trampoline?

                  Apparently his party trick is to leap over the top of people's heads. So I'm guessing no trampoline.

                    I dont think they dragged a trampoline all the way up the mountain.

                        I dont have photoshop but I have an idea. Could someone have a go at putting a superman 'S' symbol on Zephi's chest and a cape on his back please?

                              Yikes, that's a leap and a half the kid has on him!

                              Awesome, awesome, awesome picture. Love it!
                              Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell
