There's a thing in Nsw at least that you can't call it soccer anymore. All the papers refer to it as "football". Of course that is a massive wank so I continue to say soccer.
When my son was playing in the U10s some years ago I referred to it as soccer and got the typical "it's not soccer it's...
Here you go Jewels - SMH, 12 years ago:
FINALLY, it seems, the mystery of how the Brewongle Stand at the Sydney Cricket Ground got its name has been solved.
For several generations, cricket-goers have wondered why it was not named, like most of the other stands, after a hero of yesteryear like...
Cricket:
O'Reilly
Trumper
Bradman
Noble
Rugby League:
Dally Messenger (a tiny stand under the scoreboard)
Clive Churchill
Other:
Brewongle
Members
Ladies
Best bet is to change Brewongle or Ladies
Is it in the interests of the VFL media to make this point?
Every club has access to father/sons (except GWS and GC but that is a function of time)
The academy is on top of father/sons. Collingwood was lucky to have a good crop.
Win the flag, lose the academy. Nothing more certain.
Other clubs, supporters and most importantly, the VFL media will say:
Gulden
Heeney
Blakey
Mills
Campbell
Wicks
Yes I know Wicks was a rookie but the VFL media won't care.
Without the academy we don't win the flag.
Agree but would add these observations:
1. Despite the step down in quality, one can expect a measure of rustiness - he did not play finals last year and missed the first three rounds this year.
2. I assume the VFL side is using the same system as the Seniors. Nevertheless practice is not the...
IIRC prior to his draft Gulden played the Sydney grand final with a bag over his head.
Then we stuffed up by putting his Guernsey number and name in the Record.
I've heard it said that players never really settle until 50 games of experience. Generally with a new player I expect a little skittishness or indecision. When they get the ball I at any rate have that moment when I think "don't butcher it".
Roberts, all of 10 games in, is very assured and I...
Another problem, I suspect, is that Adams left the Pies because he was not playing in the mids, but rather in defence. We may very well have given him some positional assurances when negotiating his contract.
Judging from Horse's presser the returns will be staggered, Parker first, a few weeks later Adams, then Mills.
So, assuming Heeney continues his form what happens?
It is not so much players in and out, but how the midfield minutes are shared.
I do not think taking minutes from Heeney and giving...
Something like that. I recall a poster (from West Coast I think) said it was pure Alpha Dog. Buddy goes over, looks at their shiny new stadium and then lifts a leg over it.
Three full games - yes you are right but I'm surprised - it felt like lots more to me for whatever reason. Anyway these stats (as I know you love) show that improvement should be relatively straightforward.
Oppo: The SCG is a thimble
Swan: No it's not. It's only a metre or so shorter than the MCG.
Oppo: Bullshit. It is a thimble.
Swan: Nah. Gameplan and strategy means we play it better and we can't just bomb it away.
Oppo: Bullshit. It is a thimble.
Swan: We have better gameplans and coaching so...
