    It was finicky work and I kept getting interrupted. I am by nature a lazy person also which doesn't help.

    And every now and then I get a flash of how pointless the task that is currently occupying all my attention.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

      I can see you at your work desk with a feather and ink pen struggling away at the task. My emotion towards this is one mixed with happiness and pity.
      TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

        I'm certainly not tired of hearing about how great a season Shaun Higgins is going to have. Looking forward to January next year already.

          I was pretty happy with my effort. Pity t didn't lead anywhere.

            I understand why it happened, but I will always be sorry that Daniel Cross wasn't given the opportunity to retire as a one club player. If anybody ever earned that right it was Daniel

              l disagree. Cross is a graeat player but sometimes hard decision's need to be made to build the team for the future. If you look at all the clubs that have reached the ultimate prize they will not hesitate to move on a fading star.

                Higgins will always look good in the drills they do in pre season. He is lost in the intensity of a game when required to 'crack in" and get his hands dirty. We won't miss Shaun.

                  I did say I understand why it happens, but I am old fashioned enough to think that AFL is a lesser game because of it

                    I thought Woof was now a "Crack In " free zone.

                        Not old fashioned at all. Slightly romantic perhaps......

                              Apparently Swallow has been impressed with Higgins hardness around the ball.......at training

                              I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
