The "No DH" policy is a myth.

    I trust the mods will not permit some DH to start a poll...
    BTW I agree with TripleB's construction as spelling out the Barham comment.
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

      Of course there are some DHs on our list, its human nature. Anyone who thinks we are DH-less is kidding themselves.
      We're just blinded by our team bias.
      ... I can think of one or two in our team, but that doesnt stop me from liking them ... nothing wrong with a little bit of personality and "DH-ness" in the sporting arena.

        Seriously if the worst thing we have to worry about is do we have any dickheads then the club is in a pretty good place.

          How dare you suggest that, after watching us this season, you accuse us of recruiting for skill?!?

                I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                    I guess our recruiters have been better at identifying potential DH's than potential skilful players...

                        Whilst admitting we have DHs, I'm glad we (no longer) have any obvious dickheads ala Barry Hall, Jason Akermanis or Fevola

                              Too much chit-chat in this thread, not enough naming names?

                                I've met all the players and I'm sorry, but I don't consider ONE of them a dickhead.

                                There's someone with a bit of "personality" and then there's the "dickhead".

                                I think that most people can tell the difference.

                                If you can't tell the difference ... most likely you're the dickhead.

                                If you want to say one of our players is a dickhead, please name them so I can shoot you down in flames.
                                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.
