My fault for being too obtuse. I was referring to the first six letters of the WORD peckerino.

Sorry if any offence was caused.

Wouldn't go that far. Not sure how you managed to get that far either.

Fair enough.

For what it's worth Nasher, what I saw from H was "me, me, me" rather than "team, team, team". I might be a bit too puritanical on this, but IMHO if you are going to get to the top, it's about the team first and always, not the individual.

I fully agree he will add to MFC. And I'm sure the coaching panel know what they're getting into. I just want to see all of his pluses and none of his minuses if and when he comes to MFC. Maybe I'm living in fantasyland.

Righto Bing. Thanks for that. When we have the same strength of culture and resilience as CFC, I'll agree with your 'FFS'. But I reckon right now we have a much more fragile culture among the players than that.

Look, I'll buy as many of H's pumpkin scones outside Gate 3 as it takes to get his mind and energies onto feeding the great unwashed, instead of taking his personal crusades into the change rooms.

At the risk of bring the thread to a new low, a funny mate of mine once referred to the frontal 2/3 part of a peckerino as a 'blue vein custard chucker'. Cacked myself.

Funny to hear the commentators wetting themselves about the noise generated by a crowd of 80,000 at the NRL GF. Pffft. Come to the G half a dozen times a year - mid season - and get out of your little NRL kindergarten.

You seem like you're conflicted Faulty. And I'm right there with you. I can't stand show ponies and H is shaping up like one now - anyone who supports him unequivocally surely can't have seen the vision of his speech at the CFC B&F. But I've been an unquestioning supporter of his until now because he can bring a skill we desperately need - run and delivery off half back. If we still take him on, I just hope he does that without getting too much into the heads of our better players and tearing the club apart.

Or in honour of the news on the other thread, 2 = The Great Robbie Flower. R.I.P. champ.

Geez that video clip just made me smile and feel all warm. Odd emotions at a time like this I know, but when you can't change what has happened, you can at least enjoy the beauty of a great champion and the way he played. Vale Robbie. The Sir Lancelot of the Dees.

Making somebody an offer they can't refuse? Oh well, it's Wed night now. Keep that thought for Tues next week.

Gold. The article welcoming Sydney supporters to Melbourne for the GF is also very funny.

He still is a beautiful kick and displays it regularly at Casey. Where he lacks is defensive pressure and urgency / tenacity on his opponent. Gorn.

Love his approach. His attack, tackling, evasiveness puts him well ahead of most on our list for those attributes. He actually gives a shitt. Hope his kicking improves. I reckon he'll do well and hope he will be a regular pick 15-20 of our 22. But then I liked Tappy for years and thought he would come on too. Fingers crossed for Riley.

Needs a long time to develop and mature based on what I've seen at Casey. Put in the cellar for another couple of years and see how the body develops.

Who let Geelong into the room?

And the next question on the Big Questions list: Which is better - Carlton Draught or Vic Bitter?

Not forgetting Bonanza with the Ponderosa, Hoss, Little Joe etc.

Must have been a fantastic dessert to take 45 mins. Or are we now onto the port and cigars in our smoking jackets, chaps? Eh what?

Time to photoshop both the avatar and the name, BD?

Thats where I got it from. I got Impatient 25 mins ago!

But to think he would be in the lead...? And I thought Bernie had a few quiet games in the middle of the season, yet he's ahead of Dom.
