Just looked it up you are correct Td, picks 37 and 66.

Cheers. So we cashed Leon Cameron in for Mitch and Shaggy? That's a good deal. Although Leon and Richo pulled off a big win for Richmond

The more I read this, the more I'm left thinking if we're all talking about the same Leon Cameron.

I can't help but feel that it was an off the cuff remark that has been twisted around, or that it never actually happened.

This isn't out of a desire to protect anyone from GWS, but I just can't see a person of Cameron's professionalism getting sidetracked by something like this.

I agree with that.

It was probably just a passing remark like "this is ridiculous" or something like that....i doubt anything along the lines of going out of his way to voice his displeasure.

Btw, does anyone know if there is any video available of this? Can't find it anywhere and the DVDs start after the teams have run out.

Interesting fact is that Jeremy Cameron has a father also named Leon. Could it have been that Leon Cameron. Jeremy certainly showed that the booing (or something) certainly upset him.

His coaching tells it all - teaching GWS players to be snipers.

I thought the sniping part of the game was instilled before Leon's arrival.

Reminded me of the performance of a certain Essendon player in 2000 GF

You are probably right. Leon needs to stamp it out.

Dogs' AFL fans bring bite to GWS fortress

From the moment the Giants ran out for their pre-match warm-up, they were roundly booed by Dogs fans, who made up at least half of the sold-out 25,790 crowd.

The jeering continued in earnest every time former Dogs players Callan Ward and Ryan Griffen touched the ball.

Didn't know that. Leon surely now has to repay the favour and have a son called Jeremy. That or ask his dad to change his name to Jeremy-I'm not sure which one.

He learnt from the best sniper in the business - Sheedy.

I liked the way after the game Leon went out of his way to shake our player's hands. Can't recall any other coach doing that. Leon is one of the good guys.

Absolutely. Leon is a big grown up man. That's why it's hard to imagine him doing his right flipping 'nana about some booing from the crowd. Maybe a comment like "there are more bulldog supporters here than I thought. You would have thought at least the crowd would have been on our side" or something like that.


But full house, season on the line, competitive juices flowing out of every part of your being. I doubt you'd even notice the crowd so much as the noise they were making.

I'm thinking the nickname 'Jaffas' is more appropriate than ever for GWS -- 'hard' on the outside, but surprisingly brittle and melted like chocolate under our pressure!

We should roll jaffas down the aisle in Round 6.

Id say we should throw them on the ground but we'd probably be breaking some precious rule about, ummm, throwing things on the ground. It's political correctness gone mad that we can't throw jaffas at the GWS players. It's a joke! Jaffas aren't that hard-that's sort of the point.

They have those really big ones now too. If you threw one of them after a while it'd make it even funnier.

Nah...I'd rather roll them down my throat.
