THE text message on the way had layers of excitement in it from a Western Bulldogs official watching training.
Running without a limp was the observation. Was it PR spin or were the whispers of an Adam Cooney resurrection actually true?
When Robert Murphy asks about the interview subject as he wanders through the cafe at Whitten Oval, it turns out there is no spin.
"He's flying."
And then adds with a smile: "He's running on top of the ground, as they would say."
Cooney laughs when Murphy's words are relayed to him a few minutes later. "Murph gets a bit excited."
The reason for the excitement is the fact that for the first time in four years Cooney was able to front up to day one of pre-season and, since then, hasn't missed a beat for the past three weeks.
This is all on the back of a ground-breaking procedure he had on his troublesome right knee in Germany just over a month ago.
Cooney is naturally being ultra-cautious, but admits he's feeling the best he has for a long, long, long time.
