Bloke finds a bottle and a genie pops out and grants him 3 wishes

1. I want big money contracts at two huge footy clubs
2. I want to be tall, athletic and good looking
3. I want to marry a supermodel.

What a waste, thinking with the little hammer when you could have used your third wish on some football ability.

Selfish prick

In ode to a seriously high quality spray, I hereby nominate Coburgtiger for his effort last night. Enjoy...

Coburgtiger said:
We played about three minutes of attacking footy, and Cotchin, Martin and Jack starred through it. Went back to Hardwick 101 for the last five minutes and lost the game.

He needs to go. He needs to stop handicapping our talent with his stubborn rolling maul everyone go hard crap, and actually utilise the attacking power we have at our disposal.

And he needs to load Hampson and Hunt into a cannon and fire them into the sun. Then nuke it. Then erect some sort of intrastellar shield so not even irradiated flakes of what used to be Hunt or Hampson ever have the possibility of touching a football field ever again.

And play Riewoldt at full *smile*ing forward. It's not that *smile*ing hard.

spook on footballers..

spook said:
Anyone who decides he wants to be an AFL footballer should have a footy in his hands for hours a day, every day, from the day he decides it. Bounce the ball: right hand, left hand. Drill your kicking. Learn and apply the correct techniques, even if they feel unnatural to begin with (especially then). Double-down if you're lucky enough to get drafted. (Barassi used to give his players a footy each. Old school.)

Some blokes can't kick because they're *smile*; others don't put the work in. That's my opinion. So, you wanna be a footballer? Do you sleep with your footy? Do you drill your skills? Can you hit a 45-degree lead on the tit with a low skimmer from 40 metres, off either wing, while running at pace with a bad guy up your clacker? Do you even use your opposite foot at training? Do you run laps bouncing a ball with either hand? Do you wanna be a footballer or not?

Soccer kids are drilled. Skills, skills, skills. They get (or did in my day) certificates for achieving certain competencies. It's something to aim at, and you don't progress until you can do it.

No doubt it helps to start at 12, or younger. Maybe there comes a point when incorrect muscle memory is just too deeply ingrained. Sure, some have better coordination and motor skills. But it sure as sh!t shouldn't be the job of coaches at the professional level to teach professional footballers how to kick a goddamn football.

If you can't kick a football, how badly do you really want to be a footballer?

Gold.

It's like he thinks they should have standards. High standards.
 
Broders concerns about who can fill Houli's place in the team against the Swans:

Broders said:
Who are we going to get to take his place. Key requirements:

- must crumble, fumble and bumble when confronted with the slightest hint of pressure
- must give the ball to a player who is under extreme pressure
- must pick poor options
- must miss targets
- must not win own footy
- must not go in for the hard ball

It's a pretty unique skill set but I have faith that we others on our list that fit the bill.
