JA MID SEASON INTERVIEW 2007

A big hi to JA and an even bigger thank you for taking the time to read and answer our NBB interview. Thanks also to JAJH for keeping us in the loop with all things JA!

Okay, here are the questions - hopefully JA will be able to answer them for us shortly.

Note: Please don't post any further questions or comments in this thread.


QUESTIONS:

Stui Magpie:

What stage is his recovery at? eg, I'm guessing he isn't doing any contested work at this stage but is he able to run, do weights etc.

Does he have a program mapped out with milestones to tick off on the way or is he just playing it by ear and taking advice from the doctors?

How confident is he of getting back into (first of all) Willie ones and then playing good football in order to start putting his hand up for Magpies selection considering he's unfortunately given some other young blokes a year to consolidate their positions?

How is he mentally at the moment? It must have been a hell of a shock considering what happened to Blake last year. Has he had any counselling to help him get over the mental side of things

How does he view things at the moment, is the glass half full or half empty? Ie, is he seriously pissed at missing the season or happy that it could have been a lot worse and he's still got next year to show his stuff? Or both??

What does he think of some of the new draftees personality wise? Who's the extrovert who has to be in everything? Whose the quiet focused one? Who's the one you look at one the training track and say to yourself, "shit, how did he do that?" etc.

Do you have a different perspective on the club or have you learned much more about it since you've been sidelined? And if so, what?

How do the young guys (yourself included) find the attention from fans, both positive and negative, particularly when you're out of uniform (so to speak)

Do you or any of the other young guys read the internet bulletin boards or even post on them anonymously? How do they feel when they read negative posts?

Tell us a bit about yourself from a personal perspective.

How many in the family? Any Brothers and sisters? If yes how old are they? Any other extended family that are really close?

What sort of kid do you think you were growing up? Inside or outside; hypo or quiet?

How were you at school, were you always interested in footy or did you have other hobbies (and if so what were they).

How do you think your Dad would describe what you were like growing up?

Which people growing up do you think had the most influence over the person you are now and how you play your sport? How? Give examples.

(one for the chicks ) Do you have a girlfriend at the moment? If yes, how long have you been together and where did you meet her?



xtcc

Favorite food?

Favorite band?



Joel

Who do you model your game on (if at all) - Past and Present Players?

Who was your idol as a young lad, and why?

What position do you think suits you best?



Favourites2006

What do you think of Ryan Cook and Danny Nicholls??



STOKA35

Prior to the draft who did you follow/barrack for, if you didn’t barrack for Collingwood, have your views changed of our club since being there?

As a young player coming from TAC football, how do you handle the pressure demands expected by the Club, fans and media, obviously that has increased tenfold. Or do you just focus on your own individual program that the Club wants you to follow in terms of fitness, strength program then progress into the system.

Who are the practical jokers at the club?

Have you seen or been on the end of one of Mick’s sprays - is it scary?



Dish

Who do you think will be our next captain?



Tully

Is this your first year as a sponsored player?

How did Nick Maxwell feel about getting the flick in favour of you??



fan4collingwood

How hard can John train, is he just running and doing weights, or does he train fully?

What position would he like to play?



Surfer1

How exciting is it to be at Collinwood with all the 21 and younger players and are you all in awe of Bucks and Burns?



Roddy

How much can you bench press?



Melliot

Has he sat in the coaches box to see what’s happening in there?

Which coach spends the most time with him?

What is the skill or area the coaches say you need to work on the most?

What is the skill or area the coaches say you do best?

What is your injury exactly (I know its to do with a collision and the impact on his neck, but is it damaged disks or other)? Is there possibility of long term problems with it or most likely to heal 100%?

Is he doing any reviews of the game's great defenders such as SOS, Pert, and even attending games and just watching Rutton/Fletcher/Clement/Presti? Or watching the current forwards to learn their tricks, like Lloyd, Reiwolt, Brown, etc?



The Prototype

At the club has anyone taken you under their wing? And if so, who? And have they provided any advice to you?

Before coming to the club who was your favourite AFL player?

Who at present or even the past has been your hero?



Thanks also to everyone who has contributed.
