The FLEA currently on SEN.

From memory these are some of the things he said...

Rodan is struggling at the moment as some players do in the first year after a knee reco. At the moment he is spectating play rather than playing like he did in the TAC by hitting the packs and hoovering up the ball "front and square", which is how he plays best. He said he just needs to spend some time for Coburg to get his confidence back.

Spoke on Polo and said that he wasn't a natural footballer when he first got to Tigerland in some ways as he would run to the wrong spots at the wrong time etc. But said he was a very hard worker and very determined and that showed in his ever increasing form last year by almost breaking in the senior side by seasons end.

Spoke on JON Said that he was a great kid who loves footy. That when the club told him he would be playing they also asked if he wanted to fly some of his family over to watch the game. Was surprised when JON later told him 14 would be making the trip and would be staying at JON and his mothers home.
Said he is very mature and at last weeks Carlton game they sat together. During the game the Flea was amazed at how mature a footy brain JON and in regards to comments he made on the match, where he would have run to etc. Flea said that it is very unusual for a youngster to be that footy smart, many players are not even like that after 100 games or so.

Not verbatim, but you get the idea (hopefully). ;D
 
Top Work Dirty, have heard Flea a few times and he comes across well and is good mates with Bruce as Bruce wrote his book.

Great news on JON on his knowledge and Polo.

I dont know if Bruce would want that book on his resume though. It is considered (by some) as the worst of any AFL players autobiography.
