    Who said AFL players (and officials) aren't smart?

    A bit of off-season fun.


    'I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.'
    (Shane Wakelin).

    'Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like
    Norman Einstein.'
    (Mick Malthouse - Collingwood).

    'I'm going to graduate on time, no matter how long it takes.'
    (Peter Bell - Fremantle - on his University Law studies).

    'You guys line up alphabetically by height.' and 'You guys pair up in
    groups of three, then line up in a circle.'
    (Barry Hall Sydney Captain at training).

    Brock Maclean (Melbourne) on whether he had visited the Pyramids during
    his visit to Egypt:
    'I can't really remember the names of the clubs that we went to.'

    'He's a guy who gets up at six o'clock in the morning regardless of what
    time it is.'
    (Kevin Sheedy on James Hird).

    Jonathan Brown, on night Grand Finals vs Day Games
    'It's basically the same, just darker.'

    Ron Barassi talking about Gary Cowton 'I told him, 'Son, what is it with
    you. Is it ignorance or apathy?'
    He said, 'Barass, I don't know and I don't care.'

    Barry Hall (Sydney) when asked about the upcoming season:
    'I want to kick 70 or 80 goals this season, whichever comes first.'

    'Luke Hodge - the 21 year old, who turned 22 a few weeks ago'
    (Dermott Brereton).

    'Chad had done a bit of mental arithmetic with a calculator.'
    (Mark Williams).

    'We actually got the winning goal three minutes from the end but then
    they scored.'
    (Ben Cousins, West Coast Eagles).

    'I've never had major knee surgery on any other part of my body.'
    (Luke Darcy).

    'That kick was absolutely unique, except for the one before it which was
    identical.'
    (Dermott Brereton).

    'Sure there have been injuries and deaths in football - but none of them
    serious.'
    (Adrian Anderson).

    'If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing
    again.
    (Andrew Demetriou).

    'I would not say he (Chris Judd) is the best centreman in the AFL
    but there are none better.' (Dermott Brereton).

    'I never comment on umpires and I'm not going to break the habit of
    a lifetime for that prat.' (Terry Wallace).

    Garry Lyon: 'Have you ever thought of writing your autobiography?'
    David Swartz: 'On what?'

    'Well, either side could win it, or it could be a draw.'
    (Dermott Brereton).

    'Strangely, in slow motion replay, the ball seemed to hang in the air
    for even longer.'
    (Dermott Brereton).
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
