Chook

And Barassi and Norm Smith too...

A team can support about 2-3 players who have disposal as bad as Jack Grimes. We have about 15. Even if Jack's disposal never improves, it's likely that we can compensate for his weaknesses as our team improves. We can then play him in roles that accentuate his strengths (being able to run through the midfield and also play as a third-man up spoiling defender). Currently however, he's pretty much a shorter Jared Rivers--and that's not what we need in a captain.

Geelong might have played a free-flowing game, but Ling was certainly no free-wheeling player. He understands two-way running and defensive mindsets.

I find it difficult to "feel" for anyone with more than three figures in their bank account. Paul Roos has seven.

Arrogance is underrated. It's usually a sign that you're better than your opponent.

Yep. Nathan Jones. Git 'im out!

How you can have that bloke as anything but the picture on your dart board is beyond me.

Steve Johnson goes to mock choke Chris Dawes after the week we've had. UMP: "Stevie...Stevie...just watch that okay?" Pathetic.

Tapscott slung with a dead ball. Umps got no problem with that. Stevie Jay hit a microsecond late by a player contesting a mark. "Fifty metres!!!" Absurd.

Will someone finally believe me now when I say what I've been saying for seven years now? IT'S THE PLAYERS, NOT THE COACH!!!!!

God. I am so over losing every week. I just want to have a bit of fun while I'm watching the game. For the last seven years, every weekend has had a chore along with it. I can't NOT watch the game, so I'm stuck looking at shite for three hours every weekend.

At this rate, Germany would beat us.

I reckon Jeremy Howe has been our best player so far. What's the bet he'll go missing after about quarter time, as usual.

Finally taken Clint Bizket's advice and synced the radio to the TV broadcast. It's about a trillion times better than the crap Channel 7 can dish up. Now all they need to do is get with the times and spring for some HD cameras and I'll be golden. Some goals would be nice too.

Chris Dawes is a smart footballer. Anyone bitching about him not taking marks has no idea.

Nice.

Could be. Mark Neeld thought he had good relationships with the players too.

Tennis is the sport for me.

I think all athletes should compete naked. It's the only true test of a man's (or woman's) skill.

I'm coming from inside your HOUSE!!!

Kicked two goals despite shithouse delivery, and provided amazing forward pressure for a big man. Also give us really good leadership. Criticise this guy last, because he is just about the best player in our team on a number of very important levels.

He'd be rolling in his grave over Jack Watts then...

How about you comment on the game, pal? Toumpas has probably got one of the best kicks on our list. You think we might want someone who knows how to kick?

Agree a million percent. I've been saying it for years too.

If you reckon we should have won comfortably on the back of a single quarter of footy against a team known for its lapses in concentration, then I don't know what to say.
