There's no Dangerfield in team.
There is an I in Dangerfield though
Just listening to SEN. Terry Wallace is having his say. My god how cringe worthy is he. A crap coach yet he thinks he is an expert AFL comments man. Bloody aweful. Give me 5AA and the Crows pillocks.
I still can't quite get over the irony that his media role is as an expert "List Manager".. Hardwick cut a record ~14 players from the basketcase Richmond list Terry left the minute he took over!

Anyone catch the comments I think in the 3rd quarter about how Melbourne could look at what we have done and scour lists for "B grade talent like Brad Ebert" to bring into and improve their club.
I thought it was a fair comment - he was by no means an A grader whilst at west coast. He did have A grade potential tho

Think they were highlighting that Melbourne should look for similar players who are currently of B grade standard who could take the next step with more opportunities

(A guy like Andrew Moore would be an ideal type IMO) if he was abailable

That is what they meant. I would rather have said something like players with potential on the next level. Saying B grade doesn't sound great.

Ebert, Stevenson, Heath all fringe players at their clubs before we picked them up. Nothing wrong with that comment.
Brad Ebert played 76 games in 4 seasons at West Coast including 22 games in each of 2010 and 2011. Hardly a fringe player, especially compared to the other two.

Rompingwins keeps calling us Port Power on AFL Gameday. There's a bloke that needs a good paddlin'
Well watched the Fox coverage of the game and as soon as they opened with Alissa* Lynch standing alongside Healy and Hall, Lynched opened her and called us "Port Power". Knew then we were in for a shit coverage. Tried switching to 7 to see who they had covering the game and they simply crossed to the Fox coverage anyway... where was people have pointed out Bruce "Host (because I've done SFA in football) Campbell kept calling Boakbent.

Only the umpires gave him 3 times as long as anyone else to get rid of the ball. Couldn't believe it... I like GAJ... but it seemed to take forever for them to pay that HTB.
I think they were waiting for him to hatch a dragon for Daenerys Targaryen. If he'd succeeded they would have awarded the match to GC. I guess you couldn't argue. ;)

Hard to believe Lynch has a media career. He can hardly string together a qwuawity sentence.
I almost snorted in my glass of lemonade during the half time analysis when he spat out something along the lines of "this is good football in a good season of that which is AFL"
