I am quite partial to tobasco.

I think this is my first post on a JW thread. I don't know why I am doing it ... I was watching Casey on Sunday getting flogged and watching Nicho try his guts out - hard running, desperation, second and third efforts without the skill to capitalise on them. I couldn't help but to think of the difference between him and JW, one a sublime talent and the other a sublime trier. Of the two of them, who would you draft; Watts in a heartbeat, all clubs would. I remember hearing a quote from Paul Sheehan a few years back when he said that being so good as a junior did not prepare him to be a Test cricketer; he never knew how to graft runs as he'd never needed to. The parallels with JW are very similar, he was blessed with incredible talent that allowed him to cruise though junior football without having to exert himself.

Wasn't Walters picked up by Collingwood after he was delisted by MFC? Was his claim that we payed him far in excess of what Collingwood did? I'm pretty sure that his brush with the law came after he was delisted by the filth.

Frank and Joe Rugolo. Frank did ok, Joe not.

Glen McLean, looked a million dollars. Sold to Collingwood for a record transfer fee, and never played a game with the filth.
