    Got the feeling he might be one of Aker's text buddies.
    He also had a go at us about the size of our circle last week(saying it was corny) singing the song and it being over one person. I always thought he had a soft spot for the Dogs but he must have bought Aker's crap.

    EDIT: beat me to it Ted.

      He also has a go at our team song circle last week. RE the ageing list don't agree with that either.

          I actually thought of you when he said that.

            Did anyone mention Lidsay Gilbee's comments yet? I thought it sounded really odd!
            Something like ' Oh, I'm sick and tired of all these events to celebrate Brad's last year, we are sick of it'
            or words to that effect. At first I thought he was kidding, but his face was dead set serious....
            His face had a really tired and kind of had this negative expression.

            After it was played, one of the commentators noted "That didn't sound too good" or something similar.

            Was really an awkward bit of footage.

            Anyone else pick up on that?

              He was joking.

                What was the question and context? When was it?

                  Didn't see it, but I'm pretty confident in saying that he was more than likely joking...pulling the leg...playing funny buggers.

                    I thought it was pretty funny TBH. It was very dry and I can understand why people may not have got it. Heard it on Friday too and the commentators laughed at it then.

                      What did people think of Everitt. I don't recall a single good thing he did. He makes a lot of BAD decisions, nearly everytime he gets that ball.

                          Thought he was a decent contributor, he didn't make many bad decisions

                          He seems to struggle to really make a mark on a game, just hovers in the teens in disposals.

                            What's the problem with the PM being in the huddle!The person with the most important job in the country (aside from Rocket)being a passionate fan of the Dogs! Agree about Cometti sounded like a call from a bloke who resides on the other side of the country. Thought we were a bit flat today and played no risk footy,pleasing thing was when we took the game on they got mulcified

                              I don't really have a problem with the PM being in the huddle, although at times she did look a little embarrassed by it all! We were a bit flat today, but when it counted, we stood up and smacked 'em. Keep the momentum going boys

                                Everitt was very good. We'll see if he keeps his spot with Harbrow and Ward to come back in but I thought he did everything he could.

                                I'm struggling to remember a significant error he made all game? I thought he field kicking was 1st class.
