I read that too, but agree with Mr.Koala, they are completely different type of players. So it's not an either/or situation. In turns of like for like, I think Bird would have been the unlucky one.Originally Posted by Hartijon

Loose translation from the Latin is - I am tall, so I hit out.
Are you thinking that's Benny McGlynn....methinks not. ??? Sue me, but it doesn't look anything like him . :-)

"I'll acknowledge there are more talented teams in the competition but I won't acknowledge that there is a better team in the competition" Paul Roos March 2005
Doesn't look like him to me either but if you google both names this photo comes up.
Sorry to take this thread off topic, but what's the story behind Morton not playing in the intra games the past 2 weeks? He's been running laps but I don't recall any of the injury reports mentioning he had an issue?
If you don't know, not much chance anyone else will!
The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.
This is on Mitch's profile on the Swans website:
"Pre-season has been really good. He?s had a couple of niggles but he hasn?t missed too many sessions and his fitness is really good and he?s running close to his PB in the 3km time trial.
We hope in 2013 that he plays more games for us like he did in the finals. We hope that he gets in earlier than he did last year and holds onto his spot and contributes to the team like he did last year."
Personally I'm a big fan of Mitch and how he's developed with the Swans and really hope he can keep his place in the side ....
Lord, help me to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.
And if there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went!

That's what the caption says on AFLphotos.com. This pic is from 2007 I think?
I might have a slight drinking problem. My husband asked me to toast some bread for him...so I raised my wine glass and said "Here's to bread!"
Great article in The Age by Caroline Wilson today on our Mitch. Well worth a read.
Second that. Interesting that the SMH online has same article with several key parts left out. Def read the longer AGE version. His honesty is humbling and the story explains a lot. Courageous young man.
Sounds like major league anxiety issues

The agony before and after the ecstasy
Possibly the best "Caro" article ever!
Mitch was my favorite story out of the Grand final. I hope he has a huge year for us.
It certainly does, particularly manifesting itself in physical symptoms like vomiting before games.
Fans can get on a player's case for everything, not leading hard enough, not chasing, not putting their head over the ball- but sometimes we don't know everything, and sometimes for guys like Mitch just running out on the field means he's already overcome something that to him is probably a hell of a lot more terrifying than putting your head over the ball is to Jude. Dealing with the potential of physical pain versus mental anguish take different types of bravery, who are we to judge which one is more courageous?
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
