    Yeah, what was this necklace around exactly?
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Sherman, Akermanis, and Moles just for a start were all mature recruits and known quantities. They were also dickheads of the highest order and didn't pretend to be otherwise. We recruited them all during that era and had to exit them all in messy circumstances (at least Moles was low profile enough not to be noticed).

    His statement was manifestly inaccurate but opinions are welcome to be.

    Moles a dickhead? Really?
    The only thing that kept him from having a far more successful career was nerves - he threw up before every game.

    You're not thinking of someone like Brad Murphy?

    Plenty of players throw up before games. Nick Riewoldt and Glen Archer to name just a couple who have mentioned it in public. I doubt it was the only thing keeping Moles from having a far more successful career.

    Yes, Moles. And absolutely. One of BMac's first priorities was moving him on when he took over having known him at Geelong.

    I reckon Rocket was talking specifically about Tasmanian dickheads when he mentioned the "no dickheads" rule but pretty much everyone we've mentioned is a Tasmanian.

    Is he one of them self loathing Tasmanians?
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    You have to wonder how many players have suffered through that type of issue. Clubs can do so much more for players now than they ever could before

    He doesn't appear to like other Tasmanians very much. What does that make him?

    Do you follow him on Twitter? The guy is one loose unit. That’s putting it mildly.

    I was going to send you a PM clarifying my statement but it would probably be a complete waste of time as you'd likely reject it out of hand anyway.

    Good to see you're open minded though.
