Censoring. You guys are always one step ahead of the game. :)

 

They said it really hinders recovery, again particularly for big fellas because as even though they are in business class and have more room it is still pretty cramped and it is a really long flight. One of them, an ex player said also the pressurised environment didn't help things. The consensus was clear that it shortened careers with someone noting Bluey McKenna was adamant it truncated his by up to 2 years.

Add to the problems associated with a long flight the extra hassles of getting to and from the airport (geelong to Tulla anyone?), flight delays, red eye flights, problems players with certain injuries face with flying and having to spend every second week in hotel rooms and away from your own home and you start to have more than a few disincentives to play for a Perth team. And that's not even taking into account that some players hate the fishbowl effect in SA and WA.

Edit: it would be interesting to see the averga number of games played by WC and Freo players and how they fare with players reaching 200 and 300 game milestones. Is pav the only docker to have played 300?

Some interesting points of view here....cheers for that, i really had no idea........the last paragraph also is a very good observation........hopefully 1 good reason for JH not to go back there.

An article written by himself by the sounds of it.

Indeed he did. I am flabbergasted.


Wow.

How fugged is that.

Really....who gave out that award?

I think if the fans were asked, and in this case they (we) are the best judges then Dwayne would be on the bottom of the heap.

Perhaps they got it upside down.

I don't remember him as a player but he played 50 games over five seasons (1987-91) for Geelong - an average of 10 games per year - which hardly puts him in "best 22 category".

Incidentally during his five seasons the Cats performances were mixed - finished well out of the finals twice (9th and 10th), missed the finals a third time.

These facts are derived from afltables.com and confirmed by australianfootball.com. (Interestingly, his elite sports properties biography claims 60 games in four seasons...some sensitivity there perhaps...which probably just goes to confirm his status as a [censored].)

I don't understand why I was censored since the word I used is the singular form of a word in the thread title (rhymes with dog).

The censorship is presumably some automaton- you seem to have been using a term that is used in the context of something that one shouldn't do to a dead horse, or would do so in vain. A bit like it doesn't allow the noun for a person that tosses something. Or the given name of the Essendon (pre EssUndone) Brownlow winner of the early 1950s, Mr Reynolds. Not sure about Mr Robin who announced that the sky was falling - I will try it: [censored] Robin.

All too PC really, but that us where the world is heading.


He's clearly in the B team over at FOX, so not quite sure where this comes from. He lacks insight, he struggles to keep his bias out of his commentary and he's got a face for radio, not TV.

Australian football media association awards....never heard of it before but nearly fell off my chair when slobbo announced it on 360 tonight...apparently commeti won it last year

Its an award based on Pass the Parcel at a kids birthday party.

Even the ugly, dorky kid with no friends gets a turn.


Surely they are just taking the [censored] out of him.

yeah Id assume its similar to when bris got together and voted Lonie the most courages

This thread’s title is “Dwayne Russell King of Flogs” and you people are surprised that the Media™ elected him the greatest caller?

Chook, why is media trademarked?

 

Russell's award is a progress payment for the work he's done so far to try to get rid of Melbourne.

These days footy commentators/journos are highly over valued. Just think if Robbo can be called head football writer at the Hun, and absolutely butcher the English language, then it shows how devalued they have become. Wussell would fit in perfectly in Monty Python's Biggus Dickus skit.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
