@spook and @Dyer'ere have diagnosed a couple of Richmond blokes with these very rare orders

they are starting up an instagram account where you can diagnose stuff by scrolling down and at the bottom you get an excuse to offer people at dinner parties.

so instead of saying

'please excuse my husband/wife/child, they're a *smile*'

you can choose a diagnosis and say

'please excuse my husband/wife/child, they're nonchalant'

or

'try holding onto their legs and ask that again, they hover'

but while they establish their popular platform,

I thought id start a late offseason conversation here.

Josh Gibcus hovers

Tom Brown is borderline nonchalant.

This got me thinking:

who the hell hovers? Michael Jordan, Royce Hart, Darryl White, Josh Gibcus.

Its exalted company in the extreme.

who truly pulls off nonchalant? I could only come up with Joel Bowden and Pendles

(warning! unrelenting laziness can be misdiagnosed as nonchalance)

who hovered? who was nonchalant?

has anyone ever hovered nonchalantly?

I reckon D.White did.

Jay Schulz oscilated between Nonchalant and lackadaisical I believe.

Maurice senior :love:, was nonchalant when he hovered, and hovered when he was nonchalant.

some good responses.

Yeah i thought matty knights had a touch of the nonchalances.

Though its not to be mistaken for class,

Though they can be concurrent.

You cant say often, because these things are extremely rare.

That other brisbane bloke may have hovered once? Jared brennan?

Again, be careful.

Hovering is not what marlion pickett does over the ground. nor did andrew mcleod hover.

Thats smooth running.

Its a Dime a dozen diagnosis

Hovering is hanging in the air, like Wily Coyote.

Maybe marlion pickett did hover once?

Ben cousins may have had a case of off-field borderline nonchalance?

I dunno.

I still think darryl white is the greatest nonchalant hoverer the world has known.

I bet he could still do it

Nice.
But don't forget Sarge was also an exponent of the runway expectoration.
Especially when shooting for Goal.
Would often fire off 1 or 2 projectiles as he sauntered in!

VideoEzy,
Any chance amending the thread title?

Great topic!:clap2

I know your the preeminent nonchalance man.

But id caution against misdiagnosing arrogance as nonchalance.

Daics?

It is a spectrum and its not a simple diagnosis

Could michael pickering have borderline hovered a little once?

Jeremy Howe should get a look in.

Although he probably hangs more than he hovers.

By the way, this may be contrary to everything here, but I've always thought Gibcus floats, not hovers.

He seems to have some sort of neutral buoyancy in the very thin medium of air, made all the more impossible by the density of his lower half.

Darryl White - nothing much to his frame but he didn't need the meat. Bloke was pure protein. IMO gets missed a bit in conversations about the Brions dynasty. I would have had him before boofhead Brown.

One of my all time favs

A strong case for the best most Versatile footballer of all time i reckon.

How has $hai Bolton not been diagnosed yet?

Nonchalance in spades and hes hovered.

Dustin Martin? Mr.Nonchalance? Or am i confusing it with entire self belief with borderline distain?

In fact, hovering is probably THE only thing dusty cant do
