The players who have caught his eye since he joined from Richmond after a successful, Premiership-winning stint;
The new training methods he’s implemented since joining;
How’s he had to temper the enthusiasm of the likes of Josh Ward and Ned Long on the training track;
The overall athleticism of the list;
