I guess you could say YOU REALLY DROPPED THE BALL THERE

(seriously, this is the second result when you google "dropped catch gif". Well done, The Hangar)

I thought I'd never see that again .

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Remember that time you dropped a catch?

That basically got me into a premiership side? Yeah, I do.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

thats our eth-dog

Is that you? What's with the run up? No wonder you push for the spazzes all the time.

Jack Package, who would you get to play eth-dog in a movie? I'm thinking either Rowan Atkinson as Mr Bean at the pool or Frank Woodley, also based on the episode at the pool.

 

[Zach Package]

It's Phil tuffnell or no one judging by his cricketing prowess ;D

 

[Madden27Merrett]

Interesting call....Gleeson is a natural rebounder; leaves his man to run at the footy, breaks a line and launches counter-attacks.Whether he's more Wanganeen or Quinn will depend on one thing - judgement.

If he already understands or eventually masters the art of when to go or not then he's going to be very good.

Ashby takes less risks but with risk comes reward....time will tell, both look promising as you say.

I also see similarities to Wanga, not as good by any means but just to be able to compare the 2 is delightful...Make us proud MArty..

No, but on my senior debut I dropped a catch that kinda cost my team the game... Off the captain.

That's our eth-dog!

This thread is now about Martin Gleeson.
He could have caught that, even without his firmware updated.

Hello My Name is Martin Gleeson, I Am A Cyborg

Kick O'Brien out of the #10 next year and get all binary on us.

A fitting tribute to Ye Olde Cyborg John Coleman as well.

By that you actually mean:

public class martinGleeson
{

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("Hello World! My name is Martin Gleeson, I am a Cyborg");
}
{

What are you nerds going on about?

Found this on the interwebs...

package Cyborg;

use strict;
use warnings;
use Carp;

sub new {
    my $class = shift;
    my $self  = { @_ };
    croak "bad arguments" unless defined $self->{firstname} and defined $self->{lastname};
    return bless $self, $class;
}

sub detection {
    my $self = shift;
    if ($self->{lastname} =~ /Gleeson/i) {
       return "$self->{firstname} $self->{lastname} is a cyborg";
    }
    elsif ($self->{lastname} =~ /Gibbs/i) {
       return "$self->{firstname} $self->{lastname} is a squib";
    } else {
       return "$self->{firstname} $self->{lastname} is a human";
    }
}

package main;

my $cyborg1 = Cyborg->new(firstname => "$ARGV[0]", lastname => "$ARGV[1]");
print $cyborg1->detection, "\n";

Here are some tests.

>perl Cyborg.pl Martin Gleeson
Martin Gleeson is a cyborg
>perl Cyborg.pl Bryce Gibbs
Bryce Gibbs is a squib
>perl Cyborg.pl Ricky Dyson
Ricky Dyson is a human

YES! Thank you Kelvin rofl.

Oh you don't speak Gleeson, Bruno?

 

[Kaiser Powser]

What are you nerds going on about?

During one particular sooky and funny Carlton rant, the Carlton fan referred to EFC players as Cyborgs. This then got attached to Martin and has stuck.

 

[Zach Package]

It may have been my fault. I regret nothing

Yoda and Jack Package.

Was their much pre-draft discussion about Gleeson ? I don't remember him featuring prominently in phantom drafts in 2012.
