We're going to take the game to an unbelievable level but you are the game
To get this opportunity, I’ll be hell bent on making the most of it. I’ll be training as hard as I can in the pre-season and I’ll be ready to rock. I’m happy to play anywhere ‘Sheeds’ (head coach Kevin Sheedy) puts me.
I'd love to be able to get into that position or at least get this club into that position
It's great to play a person when they're ready, not because they've been drafted in the last draft yesterday
In Round 1, probably four (will play)
I think he can probably be like Jason Blake at times ... a guy who has played nearly 200 games, pinch-hitting in the ruck, a little down forward and down back
Just tell the Irish that I still love them
I've only spoken to Setanta a couple of times, but he's always been interesting to talk to.

Obviously, it’s a great chance for him again
Our staff have done really well
Hopefully nobody can accuse us of not liking leprechauns now!
He's a very, very big chance [of achieving success at GWS]
There's a fair bit of Graham Moss in him, a little bit of Polly Farmer, that style of player … He's not Don Scott ... He's got good vision … He brings players into the game with his deft striking of the ball.

I'm always interested in players that have got an opportunity to put their hand up and keep playing. We have done very well out of that over the years ... He is a player that you may be still to see the best of him. He is a player that can play quite well, the final he played (against West Coast) he alm...
