Classic. I still can't sleep on one side of my body after I got cleaned up by an aboriginal player that made Byron look like Spider Burton. And that was 20 years ago.

Yep. It was about the same amount of time ago that I learnt that small & black doesn't mean "soft". I can still remember it.

Man when you get into racial lines it just gets really sad. Goodes plays like no other black fella has before him, and that goes the same with Long, who was an absolute legend as a FF.

Pickett now he's moved to the Demons and "toughened them up", has been outstanding hard body, and I'm sure no player would want to be schmackoed by him on any given day.

Absolute rubbish they are soft bodies..

Agreed. And you can't call Troy Cook soft bodied or Robby Muir from the past! Polly Farmer and Barry Cable were pretty hard at it players too.

Chris Lewis was a hitman.

My 2-month old (skip) daughter has almost infinite potential, then. You look at her, and the first phrase you think of is 'huge upside...'.

Unless she has Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, I doubt we'll be seeing her in this year's draft.

his kicking lets him down too much, if he could kick straighter than he would be fantastic because he presents himself & can take marks but can't convert.

Yeah and nearly cost syd the granny last year by missing around 4 shots at goal in the last qtr! I think its time for mick to go at years end or even perhaps nurse him through the rest of this year by just playing him in the games in syd, he could be sort of used as a pinchitter to jag a goal or two. This may even prolong his career further.

QUESTION: Who kicked the most goals for Sydney in the 4 Finals games of 2005?

A) MOL
B) Baz
C) Davis
D) All of the above

[NMWBloods]

D - 8.

However, MOL wins by a mile the most number of misses.

Correct.

His kicking in the GF was the footballing equivalent of Ian Baker-Finch's putting. But he made very worthy contributions in the first 3 finals games & would have well and truly sealed the GF if he'd converted his chances.

I think it'd be stupid to write-off a player with his experience & a proven game-breaker in BIG games.

I just wish he wouldn't fall over so much.

He also missed an absolute gimme in the WC QF game in the 3rd qtr - about 20m out directly in front. Did the same thing against Geelong too IIRC.
