“You'd like to get Fergus in early in the year and he may even play this week against Collingwood - we'll wait and see - but he's the sort of player that's just crying out for an opportunity and I think we can find one for him.”
“To have a really good, close, tight contest like that is invaluable and if you could orchestrate it, that's the sort of game you'd orchestrate I reckon - a good hard tussle for the whole game and then to think it's over and then having to go again - that's priceless.”
“I suppose if it's one (injury) that is going to make him miss some time, yeah, I mean he's done a few of those, so that is something we have got to address, for sure.”
“I have no concerns, actually I am a little bit bemused by all the attention. But, having said that, he's missed a couple of significant matches in the last couple of years.”
“If that means we have to play in finals for the next 10 years and we finally win one somewhere along the line, well, that's a s***load better than we've been in the past 100 years.”
“The emphasis is all about prevention and part of that process is to strengthen up the key areas -- shoulders and knees -- and making sure you're very strong through the hips and building a power base.”
