Straight Sets Simon

I agree, it was refreshing to hear people tell it like it is and was, but we get it now. No need to keep reminding us.

I realise it's what he knows but I wish Roos would shut up about Sydney. It's one of the reasons he was such a terrible commentator.

And don't wear Lycra.

I find it interesting that no one from the club has publicly stated (that I can find) that Clark has had hamstring problems. It's just been referred to as a "hiccup".

Thanks for the update.

100 and 10 people attended those ones?

You left off Melbourne from your list. The one club that would probably provide the most interesting answers.

No, simply because they will begin to look too cluttered.

Trengove's biggest issue wasn't his age, it is he was playing mediocre football. If he was playing well he would still be a captain.

They are quicker over the first two metres than he is.

To clarify, it's Trengove's lack of acceleration that is most damning.

Sadly, Trengove has always been slow. It's a huge liability which may impact his ability to play midfield.

It went about 12 months ago.

The question is why? I won't pretend to know the answer, whether it's because of teachers or other reasons.

Just because someone is part of a union doesn't automatically mean they are "left" with everything they do or think. Someone may have "left" opinions on one issue and "right" on the other, it's not something you are tied down to. I don't see what there being a union has to do with anything. As I said, people from "right" are allowed to be teachers too and they don't have to join a union.

It's just like all the players Melbourne have recruited over recent years who haven't been committed. It's not something exclusive to teachers.

Agreed, it's as if people think there is some big conspiracy that the "left" are trying to infiltrate students minds and they only hire people from the "left". If the "right" want to see "right" ideologies taught then people of the "right" should become teachers.

It's a valid point, one of the issues teachers face is they are not allowed to write anything negative in school reports. It's all what the child can do, not what he or her cannot do, but that's forced upon the teachers.

I'm just pointing out how the scoring works. If he was able to get into teaching with such a low score it simply shows that particular teaching course wasn't all that popular, hence it was easier to get into. If more people wanted to do teaching the score to get in would be higher.

VCE scores for courses are based on how popular they are. The more popular the course, the higher the score (although for Medicine I would imagine that there is testing as well to get into it). EDIT: Also a score of 60 doesn't mean that person had grades of 60 out of 100, it means they are in the top 40% of students in the state. They may have B average grades (70-84%) but that score only puts them in the top 40% of students. I hope that makes sense.

I thought Clark did his hamstring, hence not running?

Having gone to a Sydney game at the SCG last year I would say that number is closer to 85%.

You know times are tough when people are arguing over who out of Godfrey and Nicholson are better kicks.

The upside that I see with Jones is he attacks contests at speed.

Until they completely change their actions their kicking will be flawed. Yes, they will do some nice kicks but odds are a lot more will be poor.
