Daniher or O'Brien were the worst IMO
Daniher took a dive when he was out of position and no chance to win the contest. Cynical and dishonest. O'Brien had the ball and took a dive rather than try to make the play. Cynical, dishonest, gutless, weak, pathetic, shameful, shameless, *smile* I could go on. Pissweak. One of the most antithetical actions I have seen on the football field. That stuff should cop a suspension. His coach should haul him over the coals, then drop him.

O'Brien has tried it a few times in other games too. Daniher loves the flop. And once it's in your game it's hard to change.

Look at your guy crumples macarae, in almost every contest he basically borrows his head into his opponent then throws it back - he initiates contact then looks for the free - its *smile* outrageous and a big part of why I hate the dogs - they outright cheat. Staging, throwing they do the lot.

Crumples. :mhihi I'm pretty proud of that one.
It's circulating too. I use it with all my footy following friends. The smart ones love it. It's a moniker that fits just like "mince" does.

I love it when a nickname takes off - especially but not just when I've come up with it.

In primary school I was playing lunchtime cricket and building a nice partnership with this kid Simon Mamouney. My calls evolved from "Yes, Mamouney", to "Shot, Mamouney-Babooney", to "Yeah, Babbles". For the rest of his school days and I don't know how much longer, everyone called him Babbles. In Year 7, one of my Year 8 mates would call us all "Sonny". Then for no reason it stuck on this one kid to the point that even teachers and parents called him Sonny. Some of the kids in our year level never even knew his real name, Sonny was such a good fit.

Must explain why they give away fewer free kicks than any other team :rolleyes:

An apprentice greenkeeper I know started a new gig and kept stuffing everything up. He even tipped a mower over on a slope mowing rough. He got nicknamed love fingers, cause everything he touched he *smile*!

This is the guy who spins a *smile* picker wheel to do the fixture? The Cats can have him. Can only be a positive for the RFC.
Imagine being labelled a "fixtures guru" which requires someoe else to write a program, you enter a few parameters and then press the Enter key.

What would do for the other 364.9 days of the year.

Going out on a tangent but how's Brown of the Dees variety? That dude get so many soft frees. I'm not sure he plays for them either. Perhaps maybe his bouffant exaggerates contact somehow. I order all Richmond forwards to grow wafros!

One of my favourites is a bloke I know who’s name is Jeff, but his nickname is Stano.
When he was young living in a country town, one night as a pissed teenager, he stole the school bus and went for a joy ride. The regular bus drivers name was Stan. So from that point on Jeff was “Stano”

That's exactly what i thought too.
Big Deal, How's a bloke that plays with his keyboard going to help a club to win a flag??
What's the next Geelong hire the Ice cream Truck lady??
Because she knows the which side of the ground most people enter from.
Geelong is a cattle yard.

Fixtures guru? Is that the non player version of anyone that’s been on an afl list being labeled “ AFL star”?

It aint that hard. You just copy and paste the seasons before fixture and change a couple of games around for the next season.

Is that he's full time job? What is he on, $150,000 a year?

150 k Plus bonus
For him to leave the AFL. I would expect 150-200k
Not bad for a bloke like you said who just knows how to use a certain fixture/formula program.

A real 'fixtures guru' would come up with a more equitable fixture too you'd reckon. The narrative of heaping praise on AFL execs and staff for just doing their overpaid jobs, and not even doing a decent job in a lot of cases, *smile* me right off.
