I remember hearing the leadership group took him aside when he came to the club and said something like 'you have a reputation for being weak overhead, and you'll have to earn our respect if you want it.' Since then he's turned himself into one of the strongest marks for his size in the comp. I coul...

He has no existing good or bad record.
I wonder how one would establish an 'existing good record'. Does not getting reported count or do you have to get reported and subsequently get off at the tribunal?

I would be interested to see the number of inside 50s conceded, and the percentage of goals conceded per inside 50.

At a guess I would say the former would look bad, but the latter would look good.

Re: Why you shouldn't mess with the footy gods...

In the conditions that we saw on GF day, he would have come into his own, and in my opinion, been the difference on the day. Yes, the conditions were tailor made for strong marking forwards and his stopping power would have made all the difference. Or perhaps his accurate kicking for goal would hav...

I have a solution. It is a two step process.

1. Think about the mental capacity of the average person to post comments on a Herald Sun article. Genuinely give it a minute's consideration.

2. Stop reading the comments for reasons you discovered in step 1.

Re: luke ball theory

IMO i think the club has taken the punt that luke will re-sign back with us because he wont want to play for melbourne and not play finals for the rest of his career in witch they will get him for a cheap price and we also retain our depth If that was the case, some what contradicts Lyon's statemen...

Neither spelling is incorrect, so you probably shouldn't correct your friend. Your spelling, however, is 'more' correct. That's because the St in St Kilda isn't short for anything, so the full stop is superfluous. It's not short for Saint Kilda any more than it is Street Kilda. Proper pronunciation ...

I saw Bob Murphy pick him for the Norm Smith too. They miss him.

Farren's strengths now are what were his weaknesses when he arrived. That shows he has put in a tremendous amount of hard work.
