Jack Redden: Hey guys, Jack here. Throw some stuff at me…

Corey Heughes: Hey Jack, are you staying at the Brisbane Lions??

Jack Redden: Sure am. Signed on for another two years. Exciting times ahead

Brady: hey reddo what is your main concern about the eagles this weekend?

Jack Redden: No main concerns. We are going to have to play four quarters of solid footy, but recent form says we are more than capable

Anthony: G’day jack, how do you prepare for big games?

Jack Redden: Usually keep to the same routine. I make sure I’m all over my role for the weekend and prepare physically, whether it be getting my body right or my diet

Kevin: Hey Jack, love your attitude during games and your hard tackling style. Just wondering what’s the one thing you hate doing at training?

Jack Redden: Thanks mate. Some of the running sessions can get pretty hectic, but if you push through, you reap the rewards later.

Guest: When are you and Rocky getting married?

Jack Redden: Last year in Vegas

Sean G: You are a champ footy player!! I play for Alex Hills Bombers under 18s and I really look up to you!! How often do you train? gym etc

Jack Redden: Thanks mate. Training during the pre-season is usually about 7 days a week, which includes conditioning, pilates, weights, education sessions , physio etc. So it’s pretty full on

PJ: Jack, what's the go with the Lions' boys always at Kotobuki? You guys should get them as a sponsor...haha...Banfield and Polec are always there!

Jack Redden: Haha, what a classic. It’s because it’s just around the corner and has possibly the best sushi in Brisbane

Sean G: Do you boys reckon you can make the 8?

Jack Redden: Don’t count us out yet, it’s still possible. But we can only focus on week to week

Jack: Hey Jack, how are you? I have noticed in your set shots for goal you grip the footy like Fevola. Is that something he showed you when he was at the club or is it just comfortable for you??

Jack Redden: Haha, I noticed that as well, but it’s more for comfort reasons. He didn't teach me that one

Lou: do you think jarrod lisle will get a game soon?

Jack Redden: It’s Jordy Lisle mate, and hopefully he can get a gig soon

Kris C: Hey Redden - which countries would you like to visit in the future?

Jack Redden: Spain, Croatia, Germany

Sophie: Hey Jack, have you got a GF? ;)

Jack Redden: Unfortunately….haha

Caitlin: Hey Jack, You're pretty cute!! What's your favourite snuggle movie? X

Jack Redden: The Notebook maybe :)

Nic: Hey Jack, just wondering what you have for breakfast on the day of a game cause I seem to always get a painful stitch in the first qtr

Jack Redden: Maybe eat a little bit early, but myself and Rocky have pancakes. It’s a bit different, but seems to work

Rachael: Hi Jack, I love how rough you are during games. Are you always that intense, or do you just get caught up in the moment?

Jack Redden: I’m a psycho. Nah, just kidding, just on the footy field

Mick: Reddo, why haven't you been on Rocky's Challenge yet? Or have you?

Jack Redden: Because he steals the limelight. But I think there might be one coming up

Tommy: Hi Jack do you think the rookies and recruits have stood up so far this season and which ones do you think will make the grade ? good luck on sunday.

Jack Redden: The depth has been awesome this year. Steve Wrigley just got promoted which is great news as well

James: Who do you thinks going to score more dt points - you or rocky

Jack Redden: Rocky probably, though he gets most of his touches in the pie stand

Aly: Hey jack, loving ur form at the moment, who inspires u the most at the club

Jack Redden: Joel Patfull

Danger Dan: Hey Reddo might sound like a dumb question, but are you related to jared redden from port power?

Jack Redden: Not that I’m aware of. He could possibly be really distant

Matt: Hey Jack, did you ever play alongside Bryce Gibbs at Glenelg?

Jack Redden: No, but my brother did

Matthew: Hey Jack whats your favorite song? I might play it on radio this friday!

Jack Redden: Milk by Kings of Leon. Are you on radio?

Di: Hi Jack, how do you think Ben Hudson will go against Nic Naitanui at the centre bounces... Nic believes that he is being unfairly impeded and is pleading for the umpires to give him a fair go...

Jack Redden: Huddo will jump all over him with his massive leap

Danielle: You should definitely do the Rockliff Challenge, that would probably make my life! Haha

Jack Redden: Watch over the next couple of weeks, I might feature. All I can say is stay tuned…

Sue: Hey reddo, does rockliff get sponser by skins? As that all he seem to wear!

Jack Redden: You would want to hope so. He is a bit of a squirrel and needs to update his wardrobe

Shaun: Hey jack mate whos got the worst pranks in the team?? and hope u have a blinder on the weekend mate

Jack Redden: Possibly Ash McGrath. You would think he would grow up in his old age

Nettie: If you weren't playing footy professionally, what would you be doing?

Jack Redden: I’d like to think I would be in the building industry or house renovating/development

Benji: Hey jack Wat is your favourite car movie

Jack Redden: CARS

Aly: Joel (Patfull) doesn't seem to get the acknowledgement he deserves, but does the job week in week out. Is that why he motivates u

Jack Redden: He just gets his job done, doesn't he?

Lioness: Hey jack who do u live with>

Jack Redden: Thomas Rockliff

Jack: do you think simon black should play on next year

Jack Redden: I’m hoping so, he’s such a great player

Jaydee: Can you please divorce rockliff for me?!

Jack Redden: Planning on it…

Hey guys, great chatting. Sorry if I missed you, but I’m a bit slow on the typing. Go Lions and make sure you get along to the Gabba next Saturday night to watch us take on the Tigers! Holla
