So this bloke is going to fit into CHB. Will be an interesting to see how well those guys can gel together. If they do gel well, then the side will go close to grabing the flag.
Read my reply. It is directed at you because you have double standards

Bugger, If his mind is switched on a good pick up for North. Glenn obviously remembers him playing with us in 94 in Choco's last year.

#26 I think he was, good hands, plays tall, only the one year with us before he was drafted at the end of 94.

He played on the ball and HF with us, switched on to the ball to give Nige Mansell a rest or whoever was being rotated through to R/R

The 64 million $ question is, how switched on is he going to be, his mental toughness prevented him from playing more AFL footy as he certainly had all the skills and the body to play more than his 100 odd games when he spent 10 years in the AFL system..
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Is it true North are playing less games at Prospect in 2006 so they dont have to hear that ridiculous cock as often.

Slowest player. Ever.

For a laugh, should have a match race between Boof, Ray Ebel, and Simon C*x.

And see if anyone wins.

If that's the case Punk, I hope it's Herbert's patrol car that arrives on the scene if I ever need to outrun the police.

Another *ahem* signing for the Rooters who will be a more than useful addition the their line-up.

I just begin to wonder,how many "priority car-parks" can one club have to give away?

Very good player and probably retired from AFL sooner than he had too.

However watch your wives at Rooster land. Just Scott West for more info

South could have taken him but he's not a popular lad amongst his peers, does lack mental toughness and we really couldn't see him fitting in. Also asked for too much money!! Wonder North with all their player policies took him really....(win a free bun for correct guess as to who I am parroting)

"Not popular" and "lacking mental toughness" would be phrases that are more akin to being associated with South since 1964!
