I would rather have big weeping sores all over my body than Brown, so what's your point?

. . . newscasters start throwing around the word "we" in their sports reports.

True, but 2008 is an example of what he does do when he plays closer to goal.

That caveat was first raised by me, when I said he would do well in the midfield, if only to change the game's flow. MrReims then agreed with me and the rest of you went and bit his head off for it. James Frawley is a defender, and will always be one, but a guy that size who can run down Lewis Jetta and break tackles the way he can could wreak havoc in the middle for a ten minute burst. If you don't agree with that, then you underrate Frawley as a footballer.

James Frawley would absolutely destroy the mid-field and if we ever get the opportunity to do it, I'd stick him in there, if only just to change a game's flow.

At the start of the year, when I was looking at all the rucks I could put in my Dream Team, Jamar was by far the best value, and so I knew he'd do okay this year. If only the rest of my team were as good . . .

He did it in round 22 against the Kangas, but that was more due to the fact that there was no-one else available for that bounce. He won the tap, collected it and kicked it into the forward-line. Unfortunately, Liam Jurrah was nowhere to be found at the end of the kick. I wonder where he could have been.

That was awesome. I actually found myself laughing out loud, and not that watered-down internet version either.

LOL! You got it in three words when others need 50.

I, Chook, do solemnly swear to never attend a Gold Coast Suns or Greater Western Giants home game. Considering I'd have to travel at least 900 km to do so, that's not much of a statement, though.

Nah. He's more like the black smoke monster. No-one knows what he's gonna do next, and they're all real scared.

Just wait. That'll happen again in about three weeks short of three years from now, and 35 000 Melbourne members will simultaneously jizz their pants, triggering earthquakes that'll be felt from here to China.

JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Wins the game for the Dees. What a champ! 500 000 more members for the Dees! HA!

Jamar is still on the field, so it can't be anything more than a stubbed toe for him, considering how absolutely meaningless this game is.

I'm watching on Chrome. I've tried it on Firefox and Safari as well, but had the terrible buffering problems that you've had. I'm on a mac, and have it on Chrome at 64kb. No buffering problems, so although the video sucks for me, the audio is perfect.

Brisbane by 13 points at the end of Q1. Poor accuracy from both sides.

Right-click on the video and select the 64kb option. That might help. Not that there's much to see.

They've actually mentioned the dual picture problems on air, so hopefully they'll be able to fix them soon.

Yeah, my game-day routine is to ride my bike in to the game, park it under cover, then make my way to the very top level at a 90 degree angle to the goals, directly across from the MCC Members stand, then shut up and actually watch a game of football, trying my best to see things as they are, not as I wished they were. It's actually refreshing to go home from a game without a hoarse voice, and not blaming the umpires for killing our game. Of course, when we play Hawthorn, all of that goes out the window and I become a rabid dog, baying for the blood of our enemies.

I was actually quoting the guy who quoted you, but I was referring to what Jaded abd Deelirium wrote, not what you wrote. I guess I should be more careful who the people I quote, quote, as it were.

Agreed.

I prefer the one against the Lions in Round 4 that he roves off the back off a boundary throw-in. "Hang on - Scully . . . Scully . . . You little ripper!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKzSkpx9iCU

B: Frawley, Martin, Garland HB: Bartram, Rivers, Grimes C: Davey, Moloney, Bruce HF: Watts, Green, Jurrah F: Wonaeamirri, Petterd, Dunn RUCK: Jamar, McKenzie, Sylvia INT: Trengove, Gysberts, Scully SUB: Bennell I'd play Martin in the back-line where he belongs, and have him rotate through the ruck when required. I sort of want to replace Rivers with Macdonald, but I can't really see Rivers being dropped for Round 1. I wish we didn't have to play Bruce, but he is still a worth-while player, despite his faults. I could also see Jones on the bench instead of Gysberts, or even replacing Martin with Macdonald, dropping Gysberts or Bennell and putting Martin on the interchange as more of a true back-up ruckman.
