Bobs Back

[Murphy'sLore]

Looking solid. He was one of the few who didn't disgrace themselves in Round 1 and he was good last week too.

(Not that I'm biased or anything )

Well written, and interesting to read his views - which on this occasion, I completely disagree with.

I agree with Bob, whilst not in the same vein, Rohan Smith used to celebrate a goal with an aggressive fist pump whilst Nathan Brown often flew like an aeroplane around the forward pocket.

My sense was Krakours celebration was a once off recognition of either his jailbird buddies or his escape from incarceration back to the highest level.

Lets keep the passion in the game

What don't you agree with.

What don't you agree with.

I don't believe there are that many different interpretations of the gesture he made. To me, it was undoubtedly a 'message' to his former inmates, brother or both. I feel that the gesture glorifies/celebrates crime, and the people who chose to become involved in it (like Krakouer, his brother and father). As Murphy alluded to, players will celebrate with fist pumps etc. To me, Krakouer's gesture was a slap in the face of the victims of crimes he and his family have been involved in.

Isn't it funny how we all interpret things differently. I didn't have a problem with his gesture - I mean, who amongst us really knows what he meant? I tend to agree with Murp - I saw it more as a celebration of his freedom and his passion being back playing well in the game he loves. He has done his time, paid his penance to society so IMO, who am I to judge him now?

Don't get me started on the parole system.

What's not to love? He is the thinking girl's footballer.

Tuning in to a Jets-powered perspective when dining in with the team


THE way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and footballers love their chow.

Once a week, lunch is put on for us at the club. Usually it's a roast, sometimes it's pasta. For 70-odd odd players and football staff, it is not just nourishment but a mid-week spiritual experience of the gut.

For over 100 years football has been about togetherness - we train together, play together, the People's Beard and I usually drive together, and of course we love nothing more than to eat together. It's as old as the disciples breaking bread.

In recent weeks, to complement our team feasts, the club has put on a documentary in the players' theatrette. It's not compulsory, and you're more than welcome to eat your lunch elsewhere, but it's fair to say that the initiative has been a big hit

I love this bit at the end:


With our bellies full, it's time to show some heart.
