    No, but there is a conga line of other forwards who are rubbing their hands in anticipation.

      Michael Talia
      • Rated poor for his position.
      • Had the worst defensive one-on-one losing percentage in the competition. In fact, it was 5% worse than anybody else.

        Pfft. Everyone knows that stats are just mere numbers based on actual things that happen during football games that represent the player's ability. Like, what ever.

          Rated number one in the league for losing mobile phones apparently.

                  To be fair, since joining Sydney he's become elite at making an arse of himself to journos and thereby firing up our players up on Twitter and giving them a reason to work harder to beat Sydney. That's clearly a tick in his box for the things he's done positive for our club. His request to be traded to Sydney was another tick in the positive box. Some balance to the discussion please.

                    He's elite at swapping clubs.


                    You've got to accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative. Don't mess with mr Inbetween.

                      I think we should go easy on Tellya, his IQ is low enough to classify him as mentally disabled or impaired.

                          That's an insult to people with a physical impairment. He was dishonest. That's worse.

                            Yep. People with intellectual disabilities have done nothing wrong.

                              I should say 'mental challenge'. There will be a machiavellian interest from Bulldog fans in the Swans backline this season.

                                I found the most underrated comment a bit strong also. I think they mean that, as they rate him the 11th best player in the comp and best Bulldog, he doesn't get the wider plaudits that he should, however I think the comment is pretty heavy given he is widely recognised as a prodigious and elite talent.
