Well as for the full forward idea it may not be such a bad idea at all, Rocca needs a mentor, someone who will have patience and give him confidence and can relate to being a forward. Malthouse has never been known for his forward strategies in the past so if he does have coaching weaknesses that surely is one of them. As for Alf Andrews comments
what were they? Being from Perth I naturally didn't get to see them so if someone could post them here so I could read them.

Hi Newelly
My comments in the Herald Sun were in response to a story on Tuesday by Mike Sheahan under the headline "Give Pests the Flick". Sheahan's story was a general whinge about people who actually barrack at the football. He felt that paying your admission price does not entitle you to bag the opposition players and supporters.
My reply was edited to buggery but this is what got past the censors:
"The pest I would most like to see given the flick is Mike Sheahan. He complains that footy yobbos pay precious little for the right to launch personal attacks, while he himself pays nothing to spout his own dislike of Collingwood"
I didn't keep a copy of the full text of my message but if you have a look at my initial posting under "Boot the Boofhead" you'll get the general gist of what I was on about. "Boot the Boofhead" was the back page headline in the Herald Sun that day. It was about Carlton's decision to start banning unruly fans after the bottle-throwing incident last week. As you've probably gathered they put a picture of Joffa getting arrested at the Collingwood-Richmond match on the same page. This, of course, had absolutely nothing to do with Carlton or the bottle-throwing incident. But, of course, the Herald Sun never lets the facts get in the way of a good story.

Seems everyone has been here before me, so I'll just say GOOD ON YA JOFFA!
And thanks to the Footy Show for allowing you on - don't think that would happen on the Game, so thanks to El Presidente as well.
Had a great time at work explaining who a few of the Hun letters were from, especially the rest of the contents of the severely edited Alf comments.
Now if only our team could show this much passion...

I went out last night (it was Deano's fault) and I missed the Footy show. I can not believe I missed you Joffa. Argh, drat!
Broadie, I too have been going around explaining the Joffa side of the story and saying that I know him from Nick's Collingwood Page. Sorry for riding on your laurels Joffa.
Where is the unofficial squad sitting for the Geelong game? I'll see ya at the game!
