    Good point, people may hold that against him!

    He said today that he has a good pedigree

    Surely you're not implying that the media are..... sensationalising.

    The fact he is from Brisbane may not help.

    Sense a no-nonsense, hardness and resolve among supporters and club this season. Edging success, but know knothing can be taken for granted. Dogs supporters are growing very impatient.

    Am sure the club will be keeping a tight reign on media this season.
    I can't see an Aker-Gate happening again. It was known he was a Grade A dickhead and that something like the saga from last year would happen again. Unlikely any team will ever recruit or (once it becomes apparent) hold onto such a headcase again (Aker/Fev).

    I dont mind him showing his enthuiasm for the club. It's refreshing to hear a recruit talking his new club up rather than the old "Yeah, na, I'm just happy to be here and hope to find a spot in the team." type tat we usually hear.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?


    I have, yeah Ted, you big gobshite

    It is probably just me but I am tired of hearing from him and about him - particularly when he speaks as if he is representing the player group. Like I said, probably an over-reaction but I wish he would get a few solid games under his belt before speaking to the media...he finished 2010 playing in the Queensland league for goodness sake.
    I'm tired of such rehashed light weight nonsense posing as news or anything at all interesting. It comes from the absence of a media strategy for the off season.

    During the season the games etc give the journos some starting points for their flights of fancy. For the off season they need kick starting by giving them some ideas to work off. Their circling of Sherman is just evidence they've got no other leads. I remember a time when other clubs used to complain that we were dominating the media between seasons, because we had a strategy and pursued it..
