Deadfish - why the meercats?
If you'd posted the big one that used to be on the Geelong Road at Werribee Zoo, I'd understand - it showed one laughing - really eye-catching!

Nah, isn't he a reptile keeper at the main zoo? I thought that picture got posted purely because from the right angle one may detect a resemblance.

AFL Round 11 v Adelaide
Was fairly quiet but did a couple of good things.

[YOTC]

My boy ran hard today, got off his man a few times, scored a goal, collected 16 possesion. Solid work by the little legend.

[Metallica_Man]

Played well today I thought, drifted down back a few times but didn't do much up forward

[CatmanForever]

16 disposals against the swans...was a hard game for him I thought the Swans players really tried to rough him up at times but he has a big heart though

[YOTC]

The little warrior with a stunning effort against Freo.

Well done lad!!

[Cattery]

Mark me down as a convert [ have been for a few weeks actually ] a while back would have classed him as one of a number of players battling for the last two or three spots in the side, clearly elevated to a walk up starter now, just keeps getting better and better, yesterdays game was a belter.

for the "Sphinx." [ Does he ever crack it for a smile? ]

[Rosella]

Can the thread title be changes so it's spelt correctly - just one t in Mathew

[Ninty]

I love Stokes, ever since that Port game a couple of years back.

And he has finally won a GF, and his first was at AFL level with the Cats.

[Big Nasty]

Probably playing 50/50 in the midfield/forwardline this year. I predict huge numbers in Dreamteam.
Seriously though he is one of my Fav's. He is such a talented player.
