Interesting read. You don't think about people having those kind of eating issues, certainly not at elite sport level. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Wonderful little article.
Unfortunately, now his opponents have worked out how to put him off of his game: just start singing "Bananas, in Pajamas!" _________________ I am vengeance. I am the night. I am MagpieBat. |

I've identified the root of the problem.
It's because his mother calls herself Sarndra & not Sandra.
Imagine how good he can be if he eats properly. _________________ “I even went as far as becoming a Southern Baptist until I realised they didn’t keep ‘em under long enough” Kinky Friedman |

I could give him a run in the fussy stakes. Easily.
No way I'd succumb and be able to force myself to eat vegetables (outside roast potatoes) or salad (outside iceberg lettuce) even if I was an elite athlete.
What a folder and disgrace to our kind!
LOL.
Since I've been old enough to refuse eating vegetables the amount I would have consumed (outside roast potatoes, special fried rice or a hamburger pattie) would fit on a dinner plate at a guess.
And that's well over 30 years!
The rest of my family would eat normally and pretty healthily with good home made cooking but not little old swoop.
I will eat some fruit though and have no problems with lollies.
There are others out there like us rest assured.

Quote: | He has been likened to Steele Sidebottom in the way he moves, but is quicker than Sidebottom ["that's not hard" Broomhead joked, "but he runs that pace all day."] He is more inside than Sidebottom but both are dangerous with the ball near goal or delivering inside 50.
There is also a similarity in running gait, if not mercurial ability, to Peter Daicos and Alan Didak. He has the same longer torso and shorter legs, which gives him strength over the ball. |
Funny that. I've been calling Broomhead "mini-Steele" for ages.... ..
Is becoming one of my faves of the newbies
He has Quote: | the same longer torso and shorter legs | as the guys mentioned (including me). But, so has Grundy. No wonder they are best friends. _________________ Go Pies !!!! |

I like this bit:

More Daics than Dids I think _________________ McRae for Governor-General! |
