I don't regard spelling someone's name correctly as 'such a small thing' - I think it's a sign of respect to spell someone's name correctly. And I'm mighty glad it looks like he's staying.

Who is Pettard?

Be kind E25

Only 4 match points? In 59 service games? Should check out the winners stat, wow

John Isner and Nicolas Mahut playing a decently long match. After 4 sets it's 4-6 6-3 7-6 6-7 in just under 3 hours. Oh yes...and the 5th set is 58-59 and has taken over 7 hours. This set alone would be the longest match in the modern Open era I believe.

That may be the case, but at least we'll know for sure. It also means we have more time to help develop his game.

With the advent of the new teams and their raiding of the drafts, guys like Strauss may get longer to show their wares than usual

I suppose because it's "in dispute" - i.e. not delivered to them from a teammate.

I hate saying this, but, "correct"

I just don't think improvement can be measured on any individual performances. 2008 against Hawthorn round one we got done by over 100 but the second time we played we were leading halfway through the last - we hadn't improved by over hundred points and the next two years certainly proved that. I'd expect a good performance, but probably no moreso than any other week.

I can't agree with that line of thinking.

I do like the hoody!

Pretty sure the first was Travis. Buddy's second goal was absolutely amazing. I'd say I've never seen a goal better than it.

But remember, if you ignore their interstate wins not even Geelong have won interstate.

Please God no

My favourite was an article written on this by I think Mark Stevens. Basically rattled on about how every fan was gutted and it needed to change because the fans wanted a result. He had a poll within the article and it overwhelmingly favoured keeping the draw as is.

Maybe we could get the surviving members of Queen to do it...

Comes as no real surprise to me that Collingwood and the Dees have drawn more times against each other than against any other team.

This.

I like it too, I think we should do it for all our home games. As my mate pointed out, the only black and white sign up read 'report anti-social behaviour'

He'll be fine! Love you Jim!

Tick to the OP. The best thing we, as Dees fans, can do, is to stop talking about him for a while and let him develop.

Blame the AFL not the umpires...incosistent as they may be and apologies for all those sitting near the MCC race.

The more time he's spent in the midfield, the worse his kicking for goal has gotten.

A turkey in bowling speak.
