I can't resist.

Does this mean that running for 3km is his personal best distance.
Damn I wish I could run 10 metres, but my arthritis won't let my knees run anywhere.

When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

That's true for most people.

By being able to get into better position and maintain his positioning rather than having to lunge and get caught out of position. He is a good reader of the play, and so knew what he had to do, but did not have the tools to do it - yet - so found himself over stretching and over exposed. Hopefully he will now be the one making the position and defenders needing to make up ground.

He almost made it through November as the best player in the AFL.

Absolute champ in November every year so far in his career.

Pull on the boots then Con and get drafted if you can do better!

I thought you had turned the corner pal.

If we get lukosious paddys days are numbered and he knows is. We have too many tall forwards and something has to give. So this is his year to shine. No dropping sitters, second and third efforts, improved accuracy, not just crashing packs for no advantage.
As many have noticed I am not a fan but I have gotten behind him before but how much longer do we give him before we realise he isn't going to make it.
Need a big year paddy and so far you are off to a flyer

I hope the Paddster does well, but it seems that the more he got concussions, the less he was able to take strong grabs. I doubt if he can be played as a KPP, as one more head knock will be a deciding factor. Probably a run on a HFF is the best bet.

Fitter he gets the less head knosks he should sustain as he will have the awareness to avoid some of them, rather than getting to the contest absolutely cooked with nothing left to put into the avoid and dodge that is required.

The story sounds very familiar ..... heard this story 30 years ago with another Saints full forward.
