Leaping Leo is still kicking goals...or flying high...or grabbing the headlines

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 timeComment

You'd think these guys would be able to figure out that stockbroking is just a game that we're fooled into believing actually has value to the world. The devastating irony of Citibank sponsoring my favourite sports team p@@@@@ me off every time I go to watch a game, but a few rounds of beer later and I forget that I know any better."Take me down to the Paradise City where the grass is green and the Swans win pretty."Comment

Leo is still surprising the public. I love it.
I would also like to point out that one of our redandwhiters actually reads the stock page!!!If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Merchant Bankers are not called Merchant Wankers for nothing and Stockbrokers are called 'Dollar High rollers' which means they make millions one minute and lose it again the next. The stockmarket is the most accepted form of gambling in our society.Comment

The problem is that people just pass through educational structures which are designed to make people think a certain way, get a piece of paper, and hey presto, they're an expert and must be right about everything because they are repeating was was told to them. Stockbrokers, doctors, lawyers - their opinions and thoughts are moulded for them during their studies, and then they are bought afterwards. We have to stop assuming that people in these professions are automatically the smartest and most knowledgeable people in society, because that is simply not true. We should recognise that it is the people who think for themselves and question these trillion-dollar structures that are to be lauded.
Whenever the people at the SCG try to give me those cardboard goal clappers to win $1000, I just say (to my friends only - 'cos don't want to be rude to the person) that Rockefeller can go shove his blood money up his ugly @@@. Then I head straight to the bar.
Aside from that, I love going to the SCG to see the Swans. I always have the best time."Take me down to the Paradise City where the grass is green and the Swans win pretty."Comment

Oooh awesome - instead of celebrating a former Swan legend who is making something of his life after footy, lets do a bit of capitalist bashing! Yay....
Well done Leo for excelling in your second career. It's good to hear, instead of the old 'broken down ex-footballer rues how awful his life now is' storyline.....Comment
