The Lobster Effect

Thanks, good for a chuckle! Pagan at Carlton 2003-2007 22 wins from 104 games

good luck jonesy! he'll be extra fired up for sure. stinga, did you see the player from your avatar on the Robbo show this week? he's looking pretty good for 43!

Who wants to start a funny caption contest with that photo!?

Haha good point. Yeh I read adelaidenow.com as it's basically the herald-sun without the payroll but it does mean that there are stacks of adelaide and port articles that go into ridiculous hyperbole. Maybe using Jimmy T's contract as a comparison is a bit sensitive (!) on this site at the moment due to the impatient fans getting paranoid that Oli's off to a better start.

Sorry to depress everyone but... "PORT Adelaide is poised to offer rookie sensation Ollie Wines an early mega-contract extension to tie him to the club until at least 2016. In an unprecedented club move for a player six games into his career, the Power has been so impressed by the strong-bodied Wines' early impact that it is already prepared to commit to him long term." http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/afl/gun-recruit-ollie-wines-in-line-for-big-deal-with-port-adelaide/story-e6freco3-1226637899481

Maybe fitness is an even bigger factor then it used to be.... also, there's less flooding now so teams can run over the top of other teams and kick more goals in a hurry (e.g dees vs gws last quarter)

everyone's expecting the bombers to overrun them in the last quarter like we did. but if they don't it would be absolutely massive!

but he runs fast

I bet most opposition supporters wouldn't recognise half the names in our side. Maybe that's a good thing, means we're trying something different!

Thanks for the link, never heard of The Flack but needed a new satirical sports site to replace the daily maggot. I liked this story about the geelong prank.. http://the-flack.com/2013/04/billie-smedts-and-josh-caddy-plan-a-prank/

yeh but he can't kick

Was he in the vitamins queue?

Yeh but he didn't miss last week's game because he was sick, he missed because he was dropped

Well, the same thing did happen to Brad Scott today, swans 11.4 to kanga 1.3 in the third quarter

"ANY AFL move to give Melbourne a priority draft pick to help the Demons escape their seemingly endless on-field struggles will be strongly opposed by rival clubs. A number of club CEOs, football managers and list managers told AFL.com.au this week Melbourne did not deserve any additional draft concessions, saying its current on-field problems were largely of its own making." http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-04-11/rival-clubs-opposed-to-possible-demon-priority-pick

Dank has a shiny face. Probably injects himself for the fun of it.

No way.. when was the last time an out-of-form footballer walked away mid year? (apart from retirements, which are different)

Fat Tony was spot-on in his original post though. If only...

Couldn't agree more: hopeless in the centre, spilt an easy mark and gave away a free in the goal square

Nicho is a fast runner on the track but has little awareness on the field...

Good luck Liam

Found an article that mentioned another Hawks international rookie, they actually have 3 on their books at the moment. Although that includes 1 at 186cm and 99kg and another at 197cm and 105kg... meanwhile our rookie is a 75kg one! http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=10864993

Check out this youtube clip of his vertical leap... warning - crap background music!

The big Gawnius Maximus..... Yeh must have been a mighty bad hammy tear! By the time he fully recovers from that and then builds up his fitness, he probably won't be considered for selection till halfway through the year i reckon....

Hannath might get a game in round 1. Damn... I mean I wish the kid all the best but it's a shame we don't have him as a backup to Jamar seeing as though Gawn is injured and the jury is still out on Spencil and Fitzy. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-03-19/clarke-limps-off-track?utm_medium=RSS
