I care. TBH I hated the look, but not enough to make how he chooses to wear his hair my business or draw conclusions about his professionalism or ability on the basis of it.And you can almost hear everyone else whisper, "who cares?"
Obviously I didn't mean that I didn't care about the charity, I meant I didn't care whether or not his hair was long.I care. TBH I hated the look, but not enough to make how he chooses to wear his hair my business or draw conclusions about his professionalism or ability on the basis of it.
I think it’s great what he did. He raised a shitload of money at a time when everyone felt so helpless about what to do. And by picking a haircut pledge he injected some fun into the event which more than a few people needed. It was an awesome thing to do, and I love him for it. I hope he feels proud.

SOAK IT IN WHILE YOU CANI love the fact that VelvetSledge has clearly gone for the hairiest photo of the skipper he can find.
As a non-Vic it's hard to get excited about SOO when my home state isn't represented. I felt the same about the one off they had a decade ago too. There's no history to the Allies concept. I reckon the players would feel it too.I'd rather they leave the big V out of it and make it Rampage v Flyers if that's the case.
100% agree the allies/all stars concept isn't interesting to me either. But how would you feel about an SA side that was made up by quotas, rather than the best players who've made themselves available?As a non-Vic it's hard to get excited about SOO when my home state isn't represented.

Did they, what were the quotas?For most of history, up to the introduction of the State of Origin, Victorian representative teams have imposed a quota - Especially when players missed a week of the Home and Away season.
Did they, what were the quotas?
Wow, did not know thatTwo players from the top 8 teams and one player from the bottom four teams.

“(Dyson) had a slow build into his rehab, but he’s now running freely and we’re introducing some agility work with him.”
If Essendon was a premiership side Dyson would not be playing midfield. He would be a general across half back and wing
Confirmed he'll miss Round 1. Wouldn't be surprised for him to miss a few after that, too.Anyone have any idea on how our beloved captain's holding up?
Essendon captain Dyson Heppell has confirmed he'll miss the Bombers' season opener against Fremantle next week.
The 27-year-old will miss the Marvel Stadium clash as he continues to manage a foot injury.
“It’s good to make the call (to miss) now. It’s a long season and I’m continuing to manage the rehab around the foot,” Heppell said at the annual AFL Captain's Day on Tuesday.
“It’s probably progressing a bit slower than we’d like, but I’m working closely with the medical team, so we’ll take the conservative approach for round one and go from there.”
Speaking at the 2020 Powercor Country Festival launch before Monday's Marsh Community Series win over Geelong, utility Cale Hooker praised his captain and said he wanted Heppell back to his best.
“He (Heppell) has probably been a bit slower than expected (in his recovery). He was really brave playing injured for us last year, helping us get into finals and having a crack at it,” Hooker said.
“We just want him back to his best, however long that takes, even if that is a few weeks.”
Had a screw put in and they had to unexpectedly take it out recently.Does anyone know what the actual issue is? Is it just a slow recovery from the off season surgery, re-occurrence or new injury?
