For those wanting to negotiate a better deal with Foxtel read the following from the Whirlpool forum Foxtel - Bargaining Part 3 Some pretty amazing deals if you play the game

Given the early reports of his fitness, I reckon there's a strong link between his fitness and his defensive efforts. I'm very "bullish" about the players who seem to have all the tricks except the conditioning like Blease and Gysberts. So long as injuries permit, fitness is about the easiest issue to fix with footy players I would've thought.

Hmmmm....I think he is so speculative that he will be a rookie selection

Good to see.

It means the other side of the ground. Usually 'fat side' is preceded with 'switch to the.'

I don't accept this for a second. We would still have Trengove - he committed to the Dees early, and it was genuine. He appears to have a much different approach to the club, his team mates and perhaps to his career/life goals to Scully. The underlying character of the player is very important in this debate. It's not all about the dough for many - in fact, for some it's not about the dough at all. Many, many much better and more established players than Scully were targeted by GWS, and they all stuck fat with their respective clubs and by their team mates. They didn't run for the cash - other factors were too important to them. For many, it seems they didn't even really entertain the offers from GWS. It was just not an option. And I think it is bordering on slanderous to suggest Trengove may have gone to GWS if he had been targeted (I know that's not what you intended Kick It Long, but IMO it can't even be suggested re: Trengove). He strikes as a young man of extreme integrity. For instance, without being pressured, he approached the club after the 186 point humiliation to Geelong and essentially said, "I am committed to this club - sign me up forever". And that's in the context that he's a young AFL gun in demand and his club, at the time, was completely imploding. Character in spades - he wouldn't leave the trench.

"The Phil Scully side"

No mate I am not that silly just drop her off and Friends Husband and I go off to the local. Well that is the plan

KOTD is one of the best terms ever coined on this site. It's up there with MFCSS, 192cm and 426. When people talk about bleeding for the jumper, it makes me want to make them bleed.

Have you ever considered stand up comedy ?

I'm struggling to think of an occasion where it would ever be legitimate to use "should of".

I'd have to say that forward pocket is easier. All you need to do is float around, pick up other people's spills and take potshots at the goal. You don't have to create play and other people usually do all the physical work for you.
