        LOL. Especially useful to peck with.

        I see that even our "local" rag has focussed on the ugly aspects of a defensive game, even though the Swans have stated their aim is to catch up with other teams in this respect, who have soared past us in the past few years. Don't remember the Pies being labelled as "ugly" much last year (though admittedly that tag has been applied to the Saints a bit. Just because of the Lyon / Swans connection??)

                I was going to have a whinge about the same thing. Such an obvious double standard - though admittedly the Swans were (still are) much more of a stoppage side than the Pies.

                The reaction to Jolly last year when he moved south said it all about the parochialism of the footy media and fans.

                    have i missed something???
                    He's changed his name by deed poll in the last week to Trent. He thought it would attract more girls than changing it to Barry.

                    Personally, I'm hoping the Currie - Lamb combo gets some runs going tomorrow.

                    Hows this for some useless pre-game trivia. I got an eHarmony match yesterday with a girl that I went out with 18 years ago AND I'm sure the photo she has used was taken in that year as well !! Ahhh, truth on the internet. Those wondering......................I archived.

                    She probably wouldn't recognise me now as I have become better looking !

                              No. It is free (once you have Foxtel)

                                All totally understandable of course, how could Channel 7 shift

                                The epic crime movie Butterfly on a Wheel starring Pierce "Thank God Lazenby was worse than me" Brosnan and Gerard "This is Sparta!" Butler
                                A repeat of the life-affirming reality show Conviction Kitchen, just in case you missed it a few days ago.
                                A repeat of the much loved TV show That 70s Show, just in case you missed it a few years ago.

                                In related news, looks like Daniel Currie has been left out of the squad.
