  7. brilliant.
  8. Was at the game. I had been willing to give Dawes the benefit of the doubt up until today. He played half the game pretty much in front of me. His skills are below par but most critically, is his poor ability to read the fall of the ball. Time and again he was out of position - but worse still, often pushed away/off from the ball by smaller more agile opponents. His seconds efforts don't have any impact on the contest and he often looses his feet. We're probably paying him 500k a year. Remarkable gig if you can get it.
  9. He's a scumbag as far as I'm concerned. He's a very average player running around on 750k per annum. Good gig if you can get it.
  10. Hi all, Couldn't agree more pitchfork. The current attire of sports coaches in Australia is one on my pet hates. Neil Balme's coaching team pretty much all wore suits - light brown in colour I seem to recall. I appreciate there are people with other valid opinions on this topic. And I hear the arguments for the current attire. For example, clothing is irrelevant, it's the modern era, sponsor bang-for-buck are some examples. But suits – certainly a collar and tie – communicate so much. The research is pretty definitive on this topic. People who dress authoritatively carry authority before they have even opened their mouthes. Dress communicates so much sub-consciously. It’s why there is a certain dress standard in our courts system for example. Conversely, it’s why detainees in our gaols are given plain dress. Dress communicates hierarchy. I remember when Ron Barassi went up to Sydney to sort out that rabble in 1993. At the time, they were at least as bad as we are now – possibly even worse. Brasso changed from an open neck and slacks to collar, tie and suit. I also recall his utter dismay when telling a story about his first week in Sydney. He said the administrators – and some of the players – did not know the names of the boot-studders. He was shocked. He said his first job was to restore some self-respect, discipline and standards. I would be surprised if a suit was not part of that message. As always, interested in all other opinions. S&S
  11. Master Bate is the man. He has all the qualities to be a standout Melbourne Captain.
  12. As a fellow asylum seeker from 'ology, I love you Fence.
  13. I miss 'ology, but like most, realise the world evolves and things change. Good to see many of the old 'ology posters over here.
  14. Another 'ology refugee has arrived.
  15. Hello Everyone, My mate, who knows a lot about footy and went around with the Saints in the VFL back in the 70's, reckons Marc Murphy is over-rated. Says he takes "short steps" when the pressure is applied. He can't stand Bruce McAvaney's veneration of him and puerile commentary when it comes to MM. What do others think? Anyone have any stats that would support the "short-steps" assessment? S&S
