Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3100709, member: 9853"] [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)]Lachlan Grey asks Jake Turpin about his relationship with Macca and Brody Croft in tomorrow's Courier Mail: According to Turpin, the number 9 is still up for grabs. But maybe he's just being kind to his mentor, Macca. On Macca, Jake says: [I]“That’s the goal (to be in the starting side) but Macca’s been probably one of the best footballers to ever come through this club. To have him here training with me every day helps a lot and competition (for spots) is what this club needs. It’s very healthy. There’s no rivalry at all really. We’re really close mates off the field we hang out daily and on our days off we catch up for coffees and go for meals and stuff together. I’m pretty much picking his brain every day.”[/I] Jake's former Melbourne under-20's teammate Brody Croft's arrival might be another factor in his favour. On Brody: [I]“It definitely helps, we played a lot of footy together growing up so we know how each other plays and some things you just know when others are doing it. I know what Crofty’s doing, what he’s thinking and he probably knows what I’m doing, what I’m thinking, so we’ve gelled pretty well (But) I don’t think anyone’s got a head start. “The coaches are watching every single thing on the field and go upstairs and watch it over again five hours a day so they know what we’re doing and whoever’s right for the team is who they’ll want.”[/I][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
