One young brain. Hardly ever used. Extremely limited cerebral capacity, but has a large motor cortex. Brain also has tendency to habitually lie and bullshit. Work ethic part of brain remains a 'renovator's dream':

Sounds like a plan.

Ask South Adelaide what else we have to give if we give them Henneman. Would they actually like a footballer or are they happy to take retards?

All previous reports I had read were saying how he had turned it around, was committed to his football and may be considered in the PSD.

Going on this info I was of the view we shoud consider, even though I know we probably wouldnt.

However, clearly his club's view is that he is still as fat, lazy and stupid as ever. What a bloody fool and embarrassment to the human race that bloke is. IMO one of the most naturally gifted players I have seen a wasted talent.

On the other hand, interesting that they can revise an existing contract though. Not sure how that works?

See the thing is, you could use those same words to describe Rioli. And Sheeds made sure he got to 100 games.

Rioli was fat and lazy. If he had got his body right instead of eating turtles, he probably wouldnt have had the hamstring injuries he sustained. When your legs are carrying that much weight, they are going to cave eventually.

Well said, and exactly right. Fat and lazy Cupido kicked 55 goals and played several games from the half back flank. I suppose lazy bastard was supposed to kick 200 goals.

Lights are on??? You must be referring to the lights that start flashing once he hits the powder. Otherwise, he's an emtpy vessel. Poor bloke. I feel sorry for him.

55 goals must be seen as a good year.

did very well in the SNAFL, can't remember with which club, but I'm pretty certain he won the best and fairest and polled very well in the magery medal from the bits a pieces I remember hearing about him this year.

not really surprising, used to rip it up in the VFL as well, just wasn't capable of taking the step up to the AFL.

I am not sure why but the thought of Rioli devouring turtles is amusing to me :lol:

Deano's Tiwi Bombers are kicking arse - Great to see!
I will miss watching him next year, a career cut tragically short by injury and as Sol says Turtles.....

Ben Haynes (Still in Red & Black!)won the B&F for West Adelaide by heaps it seems, This is from their website:

MEDIA RELEASE
16 October 2006
The West Adelaide Football Club held their Player Presentation Evening on Friday October 13 and is pleased to advise of the following award winners:

Steve Hamra Medal (League Best & Fairest)

1st Ben Haynes 229 votes
2nd Marc Dragicevic 196 votes

I liked the look of him in a Bomber jumper, probably could have used another year to develop. Anyone know where Paul Thomas is now?
