A 5 sec google search and a small post-it note with these words would have worked wonders:

Shaun = faster brother, not Joe.

Joe = younger brother, not as fast, not Shaun


Problem solved.

Compensation, ROFL.

Stupid and his SANFL campaigners need to realise that SANFL stands for South Australian National Feeder League, because that's exactly what it is.
I feel like making a banner and wandering down to Woodville and Richmond and Unley during the year might make the odd boring weekend a tad more enjoyable.

NUFC, YES.
Crowey having a massive sook about our rookie pick ups..wants SANFL compensated by Port.
My favourite is when Sturt fans sook about this sort of thing. I saw some foamy-mouthed Unley jamoke on another forum demand a trade for Leinart.

Uh, guy, where did Zane Kirkwood - already in the discussion for their greatest player of all-time - and Kory Beard come from?

Can any of these chodes think logically? Port = Monsanto of football.

If any of us needed proof that the Monopoly Times is really a Crows newsletter we need only take a look at yesterday's editorial. There it was, an editorial about the Crows finally getting a father son pick. The fact that no one else wanted Ben Jarman and he was taken last pick in the Rookie Draft does not seem to count with the Murdoch minions.

A great kick at goal but too small and too slow appears to be the consensus as regards young Jarman.

What piddling pissant little state has its only daily newspaper devote an editorial to a sporting issue let alone one about a player drafted in the rookie draft? :$

No matter how much i try, i just can't not like Eddy Betts. :(
I actually like Eddie he is not a douchebag he seems humble to me - I know how has he stayed in that club.

However they more than make up for it with Josh Jenkins (he has a smug slappable type face) and I am almost certain that their contemptibility raises by about 87.5% by simply putting on that dressups box guernsey.

Oh god..Eddie Betts has taken over from Dangerfield in this town..the crers media saturation continues. )but good on Eddiecrers for what they did over there..
Knighthood on its way)
Mad Monk: Eddie, it's Tone.
Betts: Yeah mate, what can I help you with?
Mad Monk: Just giving you a heads-up that I am going to give you a knighthood.
Betts: Thanks for the thought Tone but I really can't accept it. Besides, I've already got a pocket at Adelaide Oval.

I dislike them too ... but champions do celebrate, and are generally hated by the opposition for it. Wingard is likewise hated by crers fans and others for his celebrations .... "Winners are grinners"

There are plenty of players that celebrate goals in a similar way to Betts. While Eddie's goal celebrations tend to be very much "look at me", if he has just kicked a great goal then why not.

Despite the SA media's over hyping of everything Eddie Betts I agree with Power Girl that Eddie is actually humble. If you can't see that because he plays for the Crers then fair enough.

The drafting of Ben Jarman is nothing more than a PR exercise. From the sounds of things he might have a 10% chance of making it. Probably worth the punt for Adelaide to keep the masses happy. If he fails, which is the likely outcome, they can say at least they tried, if on the odd chance he becomes a player, then it's a fantastic story and it'll be Apricot Slices all round. The worst outcome for them would have been if he went to another club (even worse Us) and became a players........ there would be Kamikaze Camrys driven at 25km an hour into Crow Mania. Fages would have to walk briskly to avoid them all.
