    From the article, Tim Watson reckons:

    Sydney got out of jail on Friday night with a brilliant individual performance from Nick Davis. It's doubtful he will ever again make a more valuable contribution.
    Chuck a Blight why don't you Timbo!

      What do you mean...."Woops....Woops.....Woops?"

      Buddhists, old adages, tall poppies, Barrys eyes, driving daggers, electrifying, wildcards - this article belongs in the arts section.

              To say that the Melbourne media is particularly anti-Swans is absolute dribble. We have contributed some shocking football at times this year and have deserved some criticism... which comes with the territory of being high-profile, full time professionals.

              What in that article (for example) is unreasonable??
              "As a player he simply should not have been able to do the things he did. Leo was a 185cm, 88kg full-back and played on some of the biggest, fastest and best full-forwards of all time, and constantly beat them." Roos.
              Leo Barry? you star! We'll miss ya, ''Leapin''.

                He's not even brave enough to predict the outcome of this week's finals.

                  "Ryan O'Keefe, who has been very good, was getting the ball up too high to make any impression on the scoreboard."

                  He delivered to Davis for the one goal I assume Watson thought was more than a half-chance.

                    I see no problem with this article. Amazing the amount of paranoia on this board...

                    Interesting piece here: "Hall has had a problem dropping marks which in the past was more about absolute concentration than it was about any technical flaw. At one stage when I was at St Kilda, we even contemplated having his eyes checked."
                    Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

                      The strange part is that they only contemplated it. What is the use of contemplating it? Must be a Buddhist thing.

                        To 'turn inwards the seeing to see the self-nature' is to 'turn inward one's contemplation to contemplate the self-mind'.
