Thanks for the internet definition Freebird.

Now fly away and mind your own beeswax.
OMG you're telling me to mind my own business - Pav, do you know the meaning of hypocrisy? maybe you should do a degree in diplomacy

Yes, mind your own business Mr Sanctimonious. Your cousin can defend himself.

Now, read back and see who went off and actually started the name calling.

Perhaps you should do a degree in logic.

What I want to know is how he has seemingly significantly improved his speed. 2 years ago he seemed as slow as treacle, now he has afterburners.

Whatever he did, I hope he can let Dunstan in on the secret.

He was never slow. It was just some posters on here claiming he was. They may have influenced your opinion.

There was an article publised some time ago where Seb himself debunked the theory but gave an explanation as to why some had formed the opinion that he was slow.

I'm paraphrasing here but didn't Seb say (about a year ago) that one of the issues young mids face, as was in his case, that the jump in fitness is sooo huge than many young mids simply aren't able to do running/work outs to get to the required level short of a few years?

A couple of years ago someone on here or possibly fb was saying the Ross was crap and that Josh Saunders was better than him at every aspect of the game. It's comforting at times when players are being unfairly bagged to remind myself that some footy followers just have NFI.

I'm sure that's right, I think he said that after that breakout few games last year. I've always thought we were hard on his "perceived" speed any because some of us didn't appreciate how big he is at about 187. He always covered a lot of ground, but it's the accelerated sprint out of the pack that seems so impressive now.

Dunstan is 2 years behind, so I'm optimistic ...

Bluthy should be sanctioned for turning it into an altercation.

His idiot cousin, whose name I can't even remember should get the bigger sanction for committing third man in.

I should be let off but get a Saintsaitional commendation for defending the honour of a Saints legend.
