    I don't understand how you could say "Dont forget GA is the biggest hog in AFL history, even KB handballed more than this guy" and be referring to GA jr.
    Well thats easy as pie, I was comparing players not generations.

      There was a bit in the TV coverage when they cut to God in the stands and said something along the lines of "and doesn't his old man look great". Now, I know it was a wet, grey, cold day, but having already seen the previous 27 cuts to God-cam I'd already starting wondering if he was a few steps from deaths door, he looked so grey. Lets hope it was just a combination of the weather and my in-laws TV set or the after effects of a bad fake tan.
      Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.

        I still don't understand what you're saying.

        That Gary Ablett Jr is "the biggest hog in AFL history" or his father was?

        If you are referring to his father how is that relevant?

        If you are referring to Jr, on what basis do you make that claim?

          That is a crap analogy... There are only two Waughs and three Abletts...

          Try the Chappells, or the Danihers.... And maybe in a few years, the Selwoods!!

          There are three Waughs!

            No. It's the more talented player, who no one could argue is Luke.

            And before people say 'Yeah but Luke trys so hard!!' - There is no question that Gary Jnr doesn't do all he can for the team, he is just a better football.

            Hell he's the brownlow favourite, Luke's struggling in a struggling team. He is also a couple of years older than Gary and spent more time training at a better (in terms of finals success at least) club.

                  Good pick up Satchmo.

                  Does that mean one of them will never be heard of?

                  Or is Luke to be called Afghanistan? Coz, he aint no Iceman.

                    Maybe more like Trevor Chappell?

                      At least Trevor won a game for us.

                          Nice post re Luke and freedom, but this last is a ridiculous comment.

                          I mean why stop there ??

                          Why not say wouldn't it be wonderful if the Swans developed their own secrect human cloning experiment and managed to clone 10 garry ablett seniors!!!

                          Wow then we could probably win the flag for the next 15 years
                          straight!!!
