Rohan 2 play 22 senior games? I expected 16 or so games from him, but 22? That's great, if that's the case I expect the seniors 2 b under pressure 2 hold their spots, I'd like 2 see Meredith play 6-10 games if possible, he looked promising in 2010

GTS. I like your posts, I really do. They're normally both insightful and interesting, but I have to tell you I hate the use of texting shortcuts being used indiscriminately. If you typed the post on your phone I'll let it pass but IF you typed it on your computer I have this to say....

Assuming you type at say, 30 wpm, and your average word has say 6 letters, that's 180 letters per minute or 3 characters per second. So your 5 shortcuts saved less than 2 seconds of time, though you probably lost some time in moving from the alphabetical to the numerical part of the keyboard. Let's say you saved a second overall. Even texting you couldn't have saved more than 3 or 4 seconds. For me reading it I lost at least that. When you posted that you'd like to see Meredith play 6 - 10 games I ended up wondering did you mean 6-10 games or 'sex to 10 games' ? To be frank, your post cost me at least as much time as you saved.

If I die just seconds short of telling my nearest and dearest that I love them it'll all be your fault. (Damn, now I've wasted even more time responding to your post, but I'll die happy knowing you wasted your time reading it).

Right, that's out of my system. Back to the footy. I hope Jesse White really hits his straps this year
 
Using numbers isn't supposed to take less time, just make the message shorter, to fit within the 250 character limit. At least I think it's 250. I find it incredibly frustrating when people write that way.

made me chuckle...:thumbsu:
 
lol @ Bungee... It was 2am, just got back to my hotel room after (quite) a few drinks and thought I'd get a late night fix of BF...I was using my phone, and I realised I was texting half way through my post...I paused for a second and thought about deleting it and writing it properly, but by that point I was too tired/drunk/lazy to do so, so I quickly finished off my post and went to sleep...

I was going to reply after reading the above without reading through the rest of your post, but I soldiered on and read the rest even though it didn't really apply as I WAS using my phone...so if it's any consolation, I wasted about as much of my own time as you did yours, so I guess that makes us even?

In future I'll endeavour to write properly even if I'm on my phone, and you're right, texting doesn't save enough time to warrant it's use outside of text messages

GTS - You're forgiven. I've done much worse things at 2am drunk in a hotel room. Tip : Never use your phone overseas when you're pissed and missing your mates

In a video on Swans website of Bradshaw talking about the Fan Day coming up, he dropped that he's hoping to join the main group in training in a couple of weeks and hopefully will play in the 3rd round of the NAB Cup.
 
I bow down to Wikipedia on anything, so I'll take it as read.

96kgs is massive though. According to Wiki, Riewoldt is the same weight.
