Sydney Sledgers?

Seems that some of the Swans may not have been very nice to Nafan on Saturday night.

``I got a big spray from Barry Hall in the second quarter,'' Buckley said. ``I dropped a mark, it went straight through my hands, and I think he was trying to come back for the Nick Davis thing and he called me a turtlehead.''

He must of had poo in his ears, "@@@@head" would've been more appropriate.

Sounds like a spoilt brat, "He did it too!" the trouble with FIGJAM Buckley is that he can't cop what he gives out, I just hope he never plays in a premiership.

BTW he can say all he wants to ND, but ND has a premiership medal and FIGJAM doesn't.

What gets me is that he was offended by being called a TURTLEHEAD! I can understand being upset by being told something like he's the worst brownlow winner ever and that his wife is an ugly such-and-such who sleeps around behind his back or something to that effect but to get offended at TURTLEHEAD?! That's like saying "let me insult you by calling you a pillow!" Although the implication with that might be that he's soft, surely there are bigger things to have a whinge about out of that game than being called a turtlehead!

And I must admit, Barry, if you're going to hurl insults, you need to come up with something much harsher for the really tough opposition out there!

It was apt - Bucks had pulled his head in going for a mark!

It's still a weak sledge! Send Baz to the Aussie cricket team for some lessons!

Do you think he needed to use a swear word?

Only if the turtle is a consenting adult.

No but SURELY there's something stronger than "turtlehead" out there. If someone threw that at me, the only thing it'd do is make me laugh!

Someone's being too precious. If he's getting cut at being called a turtlehead then he's going to be easy to put off his game when the serious sledging begins.
