It's been a dark few days so time for some light relief.

Which lies, mis-truths and half-truths are ones that consistently get trotted out? And which ones amuse you most?

Mine are the following:

"I don't read the newspapers" - any player or coach

"I didn't see it" - any coach when asked about whether one of his players will be suspended for an in play violent act

"We're not thinking about finals" - any player or coach in a team in the top 4 at the halfway point of the season

"They're a good team" - any player or coach from the top 4 playing the bottom side (or Melbourne)

"Coach has full support of the board"

"I'll make a decision at the end of the season" (any player out of contract who clearly want to see if they get a better offer elsewhere)

Essendon "Everything the players took was 100% legal"

"Coach has full support of the board"

(What the president says moments before the coach is sacked)

Paul Little, "We can not be 100% sure what was given to the players but we know it wasn't banned" hahahahahaha

I would suggest the last part is " because I have already decided to leave

Who is responsible for these comments?

"What are those big stick things poking out of the ground?"

"What is that red leather looking thing for?"

"Why is that good looking chap with the clipboard coming onto the ground and yelling at me?"

I want to be a one club player.

"I'm shocked to be sitting here"

"I take full responsibility"

"I am a good coach"

"All I care about is the players well being"

"I'm shocked to be sitting here"

"I take full responsibility"

"I am a good coach"

"All I care about is the players well being"

h_h I just had a serious accident after reading no. 4

Not a lie, per se, but a physical impossibility:

"I'm going to give it 110%"

We want the truth to come out.

He's a ball player.

We're aware that we need to be switched on this week.

I just want the truth to come out

"They're a quality side, we have a lot of respect for them, we knew they'd come back at us"

Any condescending top side player during a post match on field interview, after yet another win.

This is the face of this thread:

"I'm just going up to look at the facilities"

"No, he hasn't been suspended, we just thought that it would be better for his well-being if he didn't play this week".

Omitted due to 'soreness'

We're embarrassed by that performance and have resolved as a group that we will not let it happen again...

This is the face of this thread:

who the heck is J Luf?

who the heck is J Luf?

Ha! Forced some higher case typing out of you.

"I've just come up here to look around"

"We didn't see it coming."

Just saw one

"the boys are hurting"

Well give them some panadol.
