Turns out the last time the Hawks played in Geelong he was a teenager, it was also his first win in a milestone game: I think I was 15 years of age. It is nice to finally cap off a milestone with a win. Every single one I’ve played in has been a loss.
On his match fitness after the long break: I’m getting used to the running patterns, I suppose, and it is odd with how quick the game goes. Even though the first quarter drifted into 28, 29 minutes, it is a lot shorter, so you have a lot less time back end of quarters to get yourself back into the game. It took some getting used to and it will talk a few weeks given every team has been out for eight to 10 weeks. That’s normally what we get at the start of the season.
On the tackle from Shaun Burgoyne (he thinks there is nothing in it): It is hard to see through someone’s shoulder. It is an instinctive game we play and we all try and play on the edge and that’s what I saw it as.
What about Quintin Narkle and Brandan Parfitt: We have seen great development from those two guys and Quinton is a hard player to tackle, as we see on the vision right now. Parf is such a smooth mover in traffic. They will be a pivotal players for the Geelong footy club for a long period of time. For us to grow and get better as a team they will be two players vital for us.
Is Brandan the fittest he has ever been: He has progressed every single year he has been in the system. He wants to get better and be one of the best players in the game. He has that determination. I think what we are going to see with the current climate is self driven players will be the ones that do really well and he is taking the right steps to take his game to another level.
