Love the Q&A concept, but how about asking the lads something more interesting, such as: - Who's impressed you the most so far this pre-season? - What part of your game are you looking to improve on the most going into 2012? - Which of the new draftees have stood out so far? - How is this pre-season different to previous ones? Finding out what each player would get Hirdy & Jobe for Christmas and who'll come back with the best tan gets old quickly.

Dyson, what a great season, your commitment certainly paid off.You set the pace, you were a shining light for the Bombers. As a young player you achieved what others in a lot of teams, "hoped" may happen for them.Keep up your focus on excellence, and team play, mate,we need your inspirational plays again in 2012.

heppell looks pretty solid in that pic. has he always been solid or have we beefed him up that much already ?

Great to hear that Dyson has bulked up over the pre-season. He had a terrific first year as a light weight and should be even better now that he is stronger, tougher, fitter and more experienced.

Coming home from the sunshine coast on the 5th,who should be waiting in the airport,Hird.He looked pretty tanned to me, or did he buy a can of le tan. Surely coming from the sunshine coast it would have to be the real deal.Although in 8 days,I didnt get a tan but then I didnt go outdoors in the afternoon.Diane
