Scott sleeps in at the w/e (just because he doesn't have to go to work - poor excuse)

What about the handsome Fevvy from the Blues.

Playing like crap, goes to Sydney for the non fight and comes back the next night for the Footy Show. He has a groin injury that needs rehab, an injury that does not respond well to flying. You reckon the Carlton supporters aren't filthy, and he is after $500,000. And as they say makes a goose of himself on the show.

Our boys are OK.

You Sydney people need to get out there and recognise these, drunken louts, so we know who they are.

Nico, I think it showed on Fev, yesterday, he wanted to be somewhere else. If you saw the 3/4 address by Pagan, he wasn't even paying attention.

You are right, injury or no injury, he looked like a player who has already signed with someone else or has the sooks.

Any chance he was on the turps in Sydney.

I'd say he's odds-on fav for that.

Four words for you all:
Fevs-baby --> Willie Mason.
I think I'll have to start a whole other thread about this... But hear me out. Aside from the physical similarities, they are both narcissistic w@nkers; both have attitude problems; they both suffer from ADHD***; they are devoid of accountability; and both live in a superheroes world where people never tell them 'no'.

*** I am assuming Fevs-baby is also suffering from this heinous disease, as his behaviour mirrors that of Mason.

UGGGGH!

Our boys are far from Saints. They hit the turps pretty hard at places like Cargo at Cockle Bay and also around the Cross seems to be a popular place to hit it hard.

Yep, I think it's the culture surrounding men's sport. Swans included.

Narcissistic wankers is the most appropriate term I have heard that best describes them. They get everything they have ever desired handed to them on a plate. They think they're autonomous. They go hardcore after games and are unshackled by the constraints of a 'real job'. They have no concept of how to treat women. I could go on... but I will have to start another thread.

I realise there are exceptions, of course. I would like to meet them, because I am sceptical they exist at all.

You sound just like me....

Anyone would think we'd been reading the same Jameson article. Or writing an essay on gender and sport. Or maybe reading an article in the latest edition of "Australian Football Quarterly"..

Oh my goodness.... you read Best Australian Sports Writing 2004? That's awesome. Me too! The chapter on Sex and Football was the best. Certainly raised some good points, esp Jamison's article about narcissistic wankers. Totally true.

You're a bit mixed there. Of course they exist. There are plenty of decent footballers. It's just that the obnoxious ones overshadow the others.

LOL - I'm actually interested in reading the Jameson article ("Professional Foul") that was the subject of the discussion in the linked thread, as its mention here has just given me a few ideas for something I'm working on at the moment.

Can't get a hold of "Best Australian Sports Writing 2004", so eirinn or Tuesday, do you know where/when it was originally published?

Thanks!

Edit: Just Googled it - it was in the November 2004 issue of "Inside Sport" magazine.
