SIMON Goosey, the coach of VFL club Frankston, doesn't normally allow blow-ins to join in during pre-season training. It's an invitation-only affair.

But he made one exception before this season, and he's extremely glad he did.

Leigh Osborne was a 22-year-old half-back from the East Ringwood Football Club, in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, who arrived unbidden at Frankston training.

Goosey told him it wasn't the normal practice to just roll up, but he said he'd give him a two-week trial out of fair play.

Goosey swears that Osborne changed his body shape in those two weeks, fining down to a more athletic visage. Then there was the obvious football talent.

It was the biggest thriller of the season, but those who witnessed it left the ground trying to work out how the heck Frankston didn't win.

If you thought Tiger Woods' recent yips on the greens were bad, you haven't seen Luke 'Pup' Clark kick for goal this season.

The usually deadly full forward had kicked a woeful 1.13 going into the senior bye in Round 9, so coach Simon Goosey sent him back to the development side to get some much-needed confidence.

THE Frankston Dolphins will undergo a "mini pre-season" before their next game on June 2.

A bye followed by the state game will put the Dolphins' season into recess for three weeks, but players shouldn't expect an easy time of it. Far from it, in fact.

Coach Simon Goosey intends to use the time wisely.
