Poor Wimpy cries to Razorbrain this morning asking why Duz's mark wasn't paid as PITB.

One former member of the media that I think nearly everyone speaks well of, Sandy Roberts, going through a tough time being diagnosed with the blood cancer myeloma.
What I always loved with Sandy is his reporting/commentary was only about the story or the game.
Compare that to all the blowhards in operation today.
Might explode my data limit if I begin to list them!

Let Geelong keep thinking it's only injuries preventing them from 1st place. Other than the Pies and Crows, they haven't played any team in the 8.

Geelong- clawing on in the grip of injury
:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
A couple of senior players recently injured
Check out our injury list over the season so far milhouse
He could have just said they were ‘brave’. Most sides have a decent injury list now. It’s not an excuse. Deal with it, Cats. Remember when they beat our VFL team in 2019? No calls of how beaten up we were at the time.

If he thinks it’s bad now, he’s going to be a blubbering mess as the season goes on, when arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and all the other ailments the elderly get as they get older. They will struggle to field a team by round 24 :)

His call of Rioli's goal against West Coast is so under rated. Probably because it happened in recent times rather than in his halcyon days.

i remember the very first time he was introduced on World of Sport when he came over from Adelaide. A staple of footy commentary and reporting. Never made himself the story.

Survival rates more than a few years with myeloma aren’t that great.
