Couchy :(

Shattering news, was slightly too young to remember his Brownlow year but he was one of my faves up until he retired. He, Riccardi and Sanderson are probably the three blokes I was always saddest never got to win a flag.

drat this is awful. Awful. You Am I's memories will be better than mine.
I remember being at a friend's house for Brownlow night that year and being pissed off not being able to watch it, instead of watching Rocky IV.

A huge shock this. I agree that him, Riccardi and Stoneham (Sanderson to a lesser degree) all deserved a premiership.

Still have a couple of posters of him back at my dad's house

"Most mornings I'll apologise in advance to my wife."
He was a huge little talent in a beast of a midfield. An oddly unassuming player too, I have much clearer memories of Ablett, Brownless, Hocking, McGrath and Riccardi than him. I felt rather conflicted when he stood for Kennett in the late 90s.

Dying from a heart attack whilst working to keep fit is a nice ironic twist of the knife too.

It's also extra tragic in that if he'd been with or near someone that knew CPR he'd have a reasonable chance of still being alive. IIRC it's something like a 30-40% survival rate if CPR starts right away if you aren't already with doctors/paramedics (if you are it goes way up).

Also remember Couch from the footy sticker collection of the early 90s, was a big deal when I got his sticker..sad shock that :(


Today however was not all shock, Essendon played about as well as I expected them too. Geelong smash us even when we are full strength so today didn't surprise.

do know when it rains that stuff is called water when it hits the ground

as i said this is sun showers macky i believe is less then 1 meter above sea level so water is going to take a while to drain away
and some residents are in for a shock when Mackay gets some real rainy weather
why dont we have pictures of us being blasted with sunlight

My fave anti-Naitnui sentiment comes from those straining not to be overtly racist. "Look he just doesn't get footy y'know? Yeah he's perfectly built for and excels in all athletic attributes for the game but he doesn't really look like a footy player doesn't he?"

Its certainly not hard to find a fair bit of dog whistling in the comments.

The funny thing for me is that yeah he has good games and bad like anyone, but you can't watch him tear another side a new rear end in a top hat and then claim he doesn't understand the game.

Everybody knows that ruck men take the longest to mature but it all seems to go out the window with Naitanui. The guy's been legit for the last couple of years now but people can't let it go.

I decided to take this seriously and even submitted it (as you know, I think a LOT about this sort of thing). It's a bit SAFE if you know what I mean, but anyway.


Also watermarked the gently caress out of it so none of the Bigfooty idiots claim it as their own. Anyway apparently according to the competition terms it's the copyright of Hawthorn and the AFL now.

I'm hoping we go to restricted rotations today. I can understand not doing it in the first hit out and in pretty serious heat, but should be getting to the real stuff now.
