Hey mate. Typing this on my iPhone on the train. How lame is that?

That sounds like it wouldve hurt (i wouldn't know having never dislocated anything) how did you do that?


Lol you would do well to bring your one day form into the longer form of the game! My SFA team won well so that's a plus. Looking forward to day two of our Test though! Good team, I agree with that. They were the four saints I wouldve put in. I forget is it just Roo you don't like or is it St Kilda? Anyway, looking forward to wrapping up an easy four pts on Saturday arvo?

and no I don't have Twitter. I wouldn't know how to set it up anyway.

Bloody hell, I didn't even check it yet. i thought I subscribed to it - why doesn't it alert me. Meh, i'll check it out now.

I'm good mate. Sorry to hear you're not well, hope things improve.

Congrats on the win in the One Dayers btw, hope we make amends with test victory (even if I'm not in the team)

Nice. Duffield won it for you.

I've only got 2 so far. Watson and Waters.

Only passingly. Haven't heard any of their music. What genre are they?

Good team of the week - can't really argue with any of that!

Hopefully we get a win because a 3-1 start is massive.

hmmm, think I took ti a bit too far in the swearing thread.

sure, its here:

Hmmm, check out the MB thread 2009 grand final. Two Sydney GF's I have rated in the best AFL GF's...

Really the Tigers?!!! bahahaah! You'll smash them, bookmark it!!!!

The only thing to be worried about is will you get the ton up or not?

Anyway, I had more but that'sa ll I can be bothered saying for now. I'm happy to embeliish if you want me to but that's my opinon.

your move, mate.


Incidentally, I notice your name used to be Coiler - how do you change your username? Do you have to be here for five years or soemthing?

I don't agree with him exaggerating the contact by pushing himself forward but I can understadn given his frustration from being triple teamed or having certain free kicks not go his way because umpires are too inconsistent to pay the chopping the arms or hands in the back and a majority of the time, that's why he doesn't get the ball.

its still poor form to milk the free kciks but given his frustration I understand (yet am not trying to justify) why he does it...

Staging to me is say you kick the ball really low and the player hasn't a hope in hell of marking it, so instead he keeps close to the man behind him and dives forward to make it look as though he has been pushed in the back.

I have never seen Roo do this. A majority of the time he goes for the overhead marks and these are easiest to spoil, he's often triple teamed which means contact will be made and think of it this way - if you put you hands into the air and a force from behind causes you to be put off-balance, you will come down and it will look like a dive because your hands are already outstretched. A majority of the time when pople accuse him of diving, this is what he is doing.

The incident against North last week was also a legitimate push, and I think if it hadn't been caught on camera that he "looked at the umpire" there'd be no big deal about it.

Next...

What I was basically saying was this:

I won't go into as much detail but the gist of my post was that staging and diving are two seperate things and also the way Riewoldt plays the game I can see how others percdeive him to be diving but the fact of the matter is there have been only two legitimate dives in his career - the Lake incident and the Mattener incident. you know my opinon on both of those so I don't have to go into detail.

Now...

Oh no, I know that.

What I meant was, I'll still give it to you in a nutshell but I can't be bothered going into all the detailo i originally did.

But I know the difference between abuse and debate and I know we're just harmlessly bantering with each other so its no big deal.

Yeah I should. I just realised something as I was down the street buying some KFC for lunch though... Its just my opinion. If I cared that much about wanting people to agree with me I'd rewrite it, but you'll never agree with me about it so it's a waste fo time. (and I couldn;t give a **** what anyone else thought of the situation.

Seriosukly though, that thread is ridiculous, no wonder St Kilda are perceived as soft if that's the reaction they ahve to the "incident". We deserve everything we get.

Damn, I'm really pissed off now. My computer has a tendency to delete my psots as I'm typing them if I accidnetally hit the wrong key or take to long to post it and I had massive reply to your last post which just got delted as I was finsihing it up.

So now I have to think about what I was gunna say. Stupid computer!

yeah, I noticed you just had to say that about his diving in the thread about the MRP.... I had a bit of a go at you about that... you'll see.

And yes, Collingwood do have the wood over you but last week Adelaide had the wood over you at AAMI.

LOL, that's effing epic!!!! I tipped Sydney and I was so proud of myself because I thought not many people would've. i dunno, i just saw something in them against us that led me to believe they would be the better team - also Adelaide was PUTRID against Fremantle.

Anyway, I know you hate Rieowldt but he is far and away our best and mkost signifcant player. I like him as a bloke too, I just think he's such a great person who doesn't deserve this sort of thing. I imagine after his diving antics last night that effing thread will be bumped but ah well.... Fisher though... What a gun!!!!!

And it's always good to beat the magpies! Always!!!!

I just find it hypocritical how you're so nice to me yet hate every north supporter.

gotta love your hatred for North.

what's your avatar saying after it kills the crow (btw, i'm so ****ing slow, I didn't even notice you changed it)

Excel. Then copy it into paint and upload it using image shack.

What? Work? Oh yeah, that. lol
