20 seconds.

Was bound to have made an incorrect comment on the topic himself, because, as we all know, he makes an incorrect comment on everything.
 
To be fair, back in 2004/05 pre season, not many posters (except Ms Tantie) rated Foley as a possible AFL player so it clearly shows that he has developed three fold in the last 3 years all due to hard work which most players don't bother pushing themselves for.

I reckon Moore could be the next one.

On Silent Bob's mate, so after the StKilda game he's sitting on the floor looking at his shoes, which look really big man and Terry comes up to him and says "You were sh!t tonight, J."

And Silent Bob's Mate pauses and he's like "Whoo, that's just tyootally rood dood."

And then Terry's "We put your arse on the trade table last year, J. Remember that? And Port would only take you if you'd agree to a pay cut and all of that came about because you bludge on the footy ground mate. We had a deal. You were giving up your bludging ways and you let us down tonight, J. And it wasn't a let us down every now and then if you feel like it kind of deal J. You shat in my face tonight J."

J fumbles around the sides of his footy shorts feeling for the pockets that were to be sewn into them, to keep his hands warm when he's watching/playing footy. But they're not there.

And then Terry says "Everybody who's in line for your spot is playing for Coburg next week."

And Silent Bob's mate thinks about it long and hard, between a dozen late night pizzas and hours of settee arse groove nurturing and then voila the penny drops. It's more like a glacier drop. So he rings Terry and he's all like "Hey Terence dood, I'm like thinking maybe I'd like to play for the Coburg Knights this week! Yah."

Ands Terry's "Do you know what time it is? 11:30 pm and we've got an 06 hundred start in the morning. WTF are you doing to me J?"

"Eleven o'clock? Whoa. I better get up. Man I'm hungry. So count me in anyways El Capitan!"

"I'm the coach, J." click.

And then on the following Saturday Terry heads off to watch J play CHB for Coburg and to keep an eye on his likely replacement. J pretty much doesn't touch the ball in the first quarter (did he sleep in again?). But then sets about mopping up loose footy at will and using it with aplomb. He's a class act.

After the game Rawlings is ropable. His team was morally twenty goals superior to its opponent on the day and yet won by only fifty points. He's glaring at Jay. "What position were you playing today, Jay?"

J nods knowingly and suppresses a proud grin. "El Cid."

Rawlings keeps a lid on but fuses a brain circuit in the process. "El Cid? Do you mean LMID? Coz you weren't playing LMID today J that's where you play in the 1s. I asked you to play tight on Ben Ried. CHB. And you let the whole team down. *smile* you J."

And Terry sees all this and thinks- how come that bloke's eyes are always pinker than his face? Let's get Polak back to play El Cid this week. He must be almost over that cold he's had since we got him.

Jay would laugh at that.

Bloody funny Jack. :cutelaugh
 
On the AFL potentially shortening the game requirement needed for Father-Son selection.

Mark Robinson wouldn't get a gig writing on PRE.

His opinion pieces are fair dinkum, the stuff of drunk *smile* trough philosophers, and muttering tram bards.

Glad I read his article in electronic form, because its not worth the paper its written on, and I can't wipe my ass with a keyboard.

Keep up the good work fellow PRE's.

This opinion on HS scribe Mark Robinson's jottings brought a smile. Crude and scathing, yet somehow not totally lacking in class.  :fing32

A brilliant response to a very stupid thread.

Thanks T74
 
I guess that post is in response to Jake King's hammy, Mike. Gotta link, brother?

Last season got to see Terry's gameday board - he has plans for everything - but it ends up looking like a Spirograph drawing.

Great analogy there pharaceo.
 
Harry's quote about Wallace being sacked; in response to someone defending our progress/direction under Wallace and suggesting he be retained:

"Soft. We don't play finals. A coach sacking is something we can all look forward to!"

:rofl :rofl :rofl

Geez I pissed myself at that one. Great stuff Harry.

All those mistakes. Think of the team they could have/should have/would have had.........

Yes Tooheys, great post from Brodders. EVERY club can have their draft picks scrutinized and have the "what ifs" pointed out. Yes, we have been ordinary but every club has made "mistakes".
 
Great post by Brodders. Makes a mockery of that method of assessing draft choices.
