From the horses mouth...... Blackett intends to have a big year this year. He has developed a bit of mungrel in the off season. I've actually never seen him this focussed on his footy before. He has beefed up a bit and very very fit.
Slammin Sammy on the other hand is a 4 beer screamer, but looks in good shape.
Timmy Grant and Joel Orton both look to be in good shape too.
We have an embarassment of riches in the front row.
Wooly and Matty Bell will need to play out of their skins in '09, because I can see McKendry, Grant, Blackett and Orton all pushing hard for FG spots.
