Maybe she needs an arse cushion?
It's probably just poor old me; like John Nash in a 'Beautiful Mind' my paranoid-delusional brain is seeing secret codes here, Russian spies there, and incompetence everywhere. Luckily; I have the online forum format to find out if I'm really going insane, so will be eternally grateful for any assistance;
Case One - Western Bulldogs vs Fremantle
Eddie's referencing Ryan Crowley as Crawley, and Mzungu as Muzungo. The latter case is not localised to the old Magpies Warlord, but almost every commentator in the AFL. Alas, Mzungu's east African origins are no match for the tongue's of our most esteemed and educated commentators.
Case Two - Gold Coast vs Fremantle
Was it once... or twice, we heard commentator Colbert refer to the Dockers playing the Demons next week? No corrections from the head commentary and only a wry impish grin from Lyon and a stupefied look from Suban to suggest otherwise.
Case Three - AFL Game Day Sunday
'Really think Ryan Griffin is developing in the forward line and ruck'. 'Nuff said.
Case Four - Sunday Times 5/5/13
Sitting at a Guildford cafe smashing out some scones and tea (enjoyable); the top goalscorers list in the Game section lists Christopher Mayne in the top 5 with 15 goals. I was intrigued, I knew Mayne was doing well but was he our top goal scorer? Nah, it's Walters with 15 with Mayne sitting healthily on 12 (and just outside the top 10 presently).
It's all minor stuff right? I'm going crazy for no reason surely, I mean... Eddie's probably mispronounced his Collingwood boys now and then, anyone could make an editorial mistake in the paper, Ryan Griffin/Jon Griffin - tomateo tomahto. Lingy commentating and barracking for his team in the Elimination final last year was perfectly understandable, and Richo looking abhorrently miserable and refusing to crack a smile after his teams 1 point defeat is fair enough by all standards.
Blegh, enough sarcasm - continued niggling disrespect from commentators and professionals, lazy feckin' journalism and research, all conducted by people who can't stand our team to do just a little bit of homework. Shoot 'em all and let God sort it out.

Correct.
Unlike the drivers in Perth, I have merged this into its rightful spot.
My apologies.

'Chris Mayne was the only other Docker to kick multiple goals while midfield aces Michael Barlow and Gareth Ibbotson were prolific in the engine room.'
'Chris Mayne was the only other Docker to kick multiple goals while midfield aces Michael Barlow and Gareth Ibbotson were prolific in the engine room.'
In all fairness, read the article from the start.
Only other are the important words.
So Garrick is now called Gareth and he plays in the engine room.
Nice.
Well thank heavens nicnat is delighted...

Saw this this morning. Good to know Nicnat is giving Walters some lessons and talk about maturity. Great role model to be sure.

Sounds like some of the eagles players need to take a look at a world map sometime.
They're both a poor man's version of that other Sudajian player Tendai Mzungu anyway.

Looks like Brad Elborough (???) doesn't know who Gareth is either

FREMANTLE v COLLINGWOOD
(Brad Elborough)
Michael Walters (Fremantle) 7
Michael Barlow (Fremantle) 6
Dane Swan (Collingwood) 6
Ryan Crowley (Fremantle) 6
Steele Sidebottom (Collingwood) 5
Gareth only played a maximum of a 5 out of 10 game
Check out the tally board; Michael Barlow is 12 th on 28 votes and 24th on 22 votes. The only docker in the top 30.

So that means Barlow is on 50 points and top by 13 points. Top effort
If we're only going to have one player in the VFL top 30 he might as well be there twice.
Some love for us and particularly Ross & Son Son on the Fox shows tonight. Poor old Bucks had to front up on the Couch and explain having his ass handed to him by Ross and Rocket had to sit through David King dissecting how Freo cut the Pies up on Insider. Very entertaining night.
