..Preferably inside a brown paper bag with a big green dollar sign on the front.

Nah, that'd likely wind up in the account of a Carlton player

A cardboard box would also suffice.

Armo is up the pecking order?

The mums at penant hills must pack good lunches, some big boys coming out of there.

This may have been prompted in part when he saw the kids at the Gold Coast game wearing the #20 on their backs.

So looking forward to the days of the Mac-Attack (McEvoy and Mcgrath)...

Maybe Kingy could have a job with the team after he quits playing.

I think Stanley has a slightly greater chance of making it than McGrath...but I sure hope you're right!

McEvoy, McGrath and Stanley...could be a decent rucking trio for the next 12 years.

What makes you say that?

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Re: Media Thread

Well McGrath is a convert from Sydney. A rookie who is still learning the game.

Stanley has been playing the game his whole life...

Pretty much that alone makes me believe Stanley will make it ahead of McGrath. Not saying McGrath won't make it, just reckon Stanley has a better chance of being in our starting 22 every week.

Based on your theory Sydney's new ruck is doomed.

You could equally say that McGrath was good enough to get selected for StKilda when he has hardly played football in his life. How good will he be once he gets a couple of years experience.

Re: Media Thread

Isn't he like a project ruck? Like we picked him up because he was 8 foot? Not much footballing ability but we just hoped it would come to him?

I'd rather a guy 6cm's shorter that knows how to play the game...

He's definitely a project ruck, 208cm and only 85 kg.

He's a fairly recent convert, so it's a bit early to call. He played 10 games in his only season, and dominated the ruck (at his height, what a surprise). Apparently he's got an okay kick, and with a background including NSW Institute of Sport basketball program and soccer goalkeeper, you'd think he's got a decent set of hands.

Fizz doesn't seem too happy.

He was one of my favourite players in 2007, just a shame he couldn't follow it up in 08. Seems like he hasn't taken it too well.

More to life than footy though...

Re: Media Thread

Nice way to finish, Huns. Sheesh! Ross dumped you Fiora because you refused to play at the best of your ability, because you refused to believe it. Not rocket science. Not poetry. Simple.

Totally confused young man. I really hope that he LEARNS from this - the mistakes he's made in footy are psychological/emotional, and they're not the same as a bad-knee or tightening hammies. They don't necessarily have to affect you in the future, personally or professionally. His lack of confidence and refusal to build a support network could affect the rest of his life.

Really hope for him.

Re: Media Thread

Comes across as lazy and soft mentally in that article to me. Could have been a great footballer (no Pav of course though) but couldn't/wouldn't get his head straight. Imagine having guys like Harves, Roo and Lenny around and not asking them for help getting through rough patches of form, or with the workload or weight of expectations etc. There's only one reason he isn't on an AFL list in 2009 and that's himself.

Oh btw if you don't get it, Eric Bana's character plays an Aussie who's Saints crazy, noticable by the Saints merch everywhere. 2:29 iirc.

Eric Bana is an Aussie who is Saints crazy !

I liked the early Adam Sandler - his latest movies have been nowhere near his SNL work - but I guess I will go watch this one now !
