14:18
Melbourne Lion
Hi Polks, Cheers for taking the time. Watching games on tv recently and a few interviews of the boys- i get the impression that there is a lot of belief in this group. What's the feeling at the club at the moment?
14:19
James Polkinghorne (Polks)

14:20

14:21
jeanine
hey polks
14:21
James Polkinghorne (Polks)
Melbourne Lion, Being a team with many interstate players, we spend alot of time with each other and rely on one another, so i guess that follows onto the feild sometimes. There is a great feeling when we are winning games
14:21
jeanine
whats jack redden like
14:21
N_2_J
Polks, my kids want to know if you have achieved prestige status on COD yet? What level are you? My kids are your biggest fans! Good luck for the rest of the season
14:22

14:22
Johnno
Haha oh true
14:23
Josh
Polks, do you reckon you'll get a full game this week? where do you most like to play on the field?
14:23
James Polkinghorne (Polks)
Hey Ben, This years draftees are going great, they are train really hard and push each other along, callum bartlett played his first game since injuring himself a year ago and went great. Jesse O'brien is another who is really taking things on.
14:23
KazRip
Hey James, how are you man? How did the boys go this morning at training?
14:24
jeanine

14:24
James Polkinghorne (Polks)
Hey jeanine, I live with jack and he is a great fella
14:26
Jedda
Polks!!! I'm a mate of Jack's and back in the day he used to be such a jokester and pull some great pranks. Has he done anything like that to you guys and if so whats been the the greatest prank/joke/stunt pulled?
14:26
James Polkinghorne (Polks)
Hey N2J, got to prestige level and around 70. I hope your kids had fun at the family day in buleen

Hey James how do you think the lions will go against melbourne this week?
14:27
James Polkinghorne (Polks)
hey kaz, I am well thanks. Training was good this morning, everyone was training well and excited for the weekend.
14:28
staffy
hey james does your dad get to many of your matches?
14:30
James Polkinghorne (Polks)
jeanine, browny has been managed through this week like he has every other week, and he is feeling confident about playing against the demons. Like all of us we get pretty sore after most games, but he is very professional in his recovery.
14:31
dools
Hey Polks, Youre looking pretty good out there I love your defensive pressure and hard nut style of play, together with you banfield, rockliff and redden we're looking like a much faster team. Just wondering if you can give us any news on browny? will he play this weekend?
my question has already been answered haha
14:32
KazRip
Excellent, glad to hear it. Good luck on Satdy night buddy.
14:32
James Polkinghorne (Polks)
we are really looking forward to the challenge, melbourne are in great form and is going to be a good hit out. They've won there last couple of games and probably unlucky against collingwood.
14:33
dools
Looking forward to the game this weekend Polks, hopefully the boys get up for another win
14:33
N_2_J
Hahaha - you remembered us!!! The kids had a great time at the family day in Bulleen and their highlight was chatting to you......as for COD - they have some catching up to do, they are prestige and level 26. Youre a great bloke Jimmy - good luck for the rest of the season and I hope the Lions can go all the way. Cheers!
14:34
J9
Hey Polks - do any of the boys live with Jesus (Travis Johnstone) - if so can they shave the head and beard off whilst asleep!!! I know his wife loves it but "by the jesus" it certainly isn't a good look!!!!!
14:35
James Polkinghorne (Polks)
hey staffy, mum and dad get along to most of the games, which is great to be able to catch up with them on a regular basis.
14:36
Reecefm Perth Member Go Lions
good luck against melbourne, and do interstate crowds play a part in the game? ive been attending lions matches at subiaco for about 10 years and just wondering if it plays a part?
14:37
James Polkinghorne (Polks)
J9, travis' haircut is like a work of art to him, i think he sleeps with one eye open knowing that we want to shave it off.
14:37
jeanine
do any of the boys twitter?
14:37
staffy
james my favorite player is josh drummond........he is a standout kick in my opinion.......what do you other guys think of his kicking?
14:38
James Polkinghorne (Polks)
Interstate supporters play a massive part in our games, knowing we have them there to cheer us on and help build an atmosphere is a big thing
I know for sure that everyones eye's light up when drummo gets the ball. He is an elite kick.
14:41
staffy
thanks for your time james......best wishes for a top season...I gotta get back to work....go ROYS
14:41
Andy
Polks: I've noticed you have the uncanny Simon Black freakish handball ability from traffic... can you see yourself becoming our next generation in and under mid?
14:42
James Polkinghorne (Polks)
Hey everyone got to rap things up soon, finished for the day and going to play some PAR 3 golf, will have to keep a close eye on jack redden though, i often see him throwing his ball to the green.
14:43
Reecefm Perth Member Go Lions
thanks for that James, cant wait until you guys come to subiaco and im going to make a trip to the gabba later this year as my 10th year as membership, i hope you have a good game this week and all the best for the year as well
14:43
