Can I ask how great that pic is of my Smurph and Diesal?

Sends a tingle up my spine.

"I remember talking to (Scott) Camporeale about it too. He was way one-way. He was killing 'em on a wing and then they stuck someone on him. All of a sudden he went from 25 (possessions) to eight.

"Then, after a while, he even started tackling and everything.

Hope he teaches Bentick to dispose of it quicker from the bottom of packs. That'd help his game significantly.

Ripper article.

"I see it. You can just see what players are doing wrong. I don't like to brag, but you know when you're good at something . . . I know what I'm talking about,"

Love it!!

Williams, 44, attends training a minimum once a week, often twice. He isn't being paid and doesn't want to be.

that's admirable

You're right Jars about not being able to teach genius.

But I reckon our young onballers can learn a lot about attitude from Diesel. His singlemindedness was/is extraordinary. He had the killer instinct. He had mongrel. He had tenacity. And he had confidence. He also thought deeply about his game.

He can make footballers into better footballers, if they want to be.

People think Diesel is arrogant. But what he really is is brutally honest and incredibly blunt.

A good influence for all those namby-pamby GenY footballers coming through the ranks.
