    Well I'll do the same . . . . and CHEER "Dudley" everytime he does something good.

    I shall reserve my boos for Gaspar (because he deserves it) and Richo (because I've never seen any player so liable to blow up).

    Incidentally "Horse" Longmire is currently fulfilling the role of ruck coach.

        The one great memory that I have of Stafford is a game versus Freo at the SCG, Troy Cook had the ball and was running it out of defense along the Brewongle/members wing, Stafford lumbers after him, no-one thought he would catch the little fella but eventually Stafford gets to him and flattens him. I have no idea what happened to the ball, but I remember laughing for a long, long time after that.

        And yes, I boo him. But only for fun (and for the fact that I think he's a dirty footballer).

            It really wasn't a part of his game to begin with, he seems to have picked up some very nasty habits in recent years.

            I think the change in his game is his attempt trying to fulfill the expectations of coaches that believe all ruckman should be enforcer types.

            It doesn't excuse some of his sheep shots of recent years but I reckon he's overcompensating for his perceived softness.

                Yeah, well this comment is rather embarrasing considering the game thus far!!

                    And did you see Stafford come over to the O'Reilly stand to stick it to the Swans fans? As well he could today.

                        I also saw him being given a hug and a kiss to some of the old ducks that stand behind the goals at the Noble end of the ground before the game.

                            I'm surprised that didn't put him off his game!!!
