    I hope your right Wolftone. You gotta love Mike Pyke.

      Well done to Primmy for getting a mention on AFL Insider tonight on Fox with your ringing endorsement for Mike in the Unsung Hero award. Poor Mike came second but good work anyway!

        Mike is a bit of a football freak. I just watched the Saints first half tonight and there's one point where the ball is in our forward 50 and as it comes high into the pack around the ruckmen, Mike sticks his foot out and kicks the ball towards our goal where it's marked, unfortunately, by a Saints player. If we'd had a forward properly in position it would have been an easy mark and goal. Very clever or very instinctive.

          I do remember that, but I wasn't sure who got their boot to it.

            Yes I saw that clip as well but I thought he should have been pinged for running too far. Didn't bounce the ball once.

              They gave him yards for being a Rugby convert!

                The Missed Tackle with Face Plant (degree of difficulty 3.2) on Sunday was worth the price of admission alone. Loving the Mike.

                      Love that he came second but got all the attention anyway. Can you say "bandwagon"? Nice one!!!

                          Kiss my foot.

                          As I never miss a ressie game nor a home game unless seriously under threat from an undertaker it is quite in order to visit me any time you like.......unfortunately this year I am seat floating a bit as my "platinum" seat has restricted viewing.

                          Loved Mike getting the publicity and the winner barely got a mention.

                            You got a Platinum Seat with restricted viewing? I'd be complaining about that with the rates paid for Platinum!

                              Well done Primmy The IQ of the footy media just rose.

                              I struggle with the 'unsung hero award' concept. As a soon as a player wins the award, he's no longer unsung. I suggest they rename it the Hitherto Unsung Hero Award. Or 'The Hero Formerly Known as Unsung But Now Being Sung Award'.

                                If they're unsung, they couldn't really be considered a hero could they? Therefore I would suggest "'The Player Not Formerly Considered a Hero and Formerly Known as Unsung But Now Being Sung and Therefore Also Now Considered a Hero Award' ?
