Barry Brook photo in the local rag.

[Dan Warna]

Looks pretty pumped.

not the skinny lad we've seen in previous years.

[Choppa]

Are we supposed to be able to see it?

[Dan Warna]

i dont have a link, just an observation, IMO couldn't be worse than clarke and rix.

[The Peanut]

here is one from Tuesday training - didn't see your one Dan

[GrumpyOne]

Looks pretty pumped.

You're not turning on us are you Dan.

Barry may be a handsome man in some persons eyes, but calling him pretty is a bit far.

And I'm not sure about the pumped reference either.

Not that there is anything wrong with that, of course.

is all I could find.

the photo in the casey rag had him taking a chest mark, didn't look like the skinny run of previous seasons.

Who's eyes are those?

Sorry, Barry, but your no Hamill, Gram or Maguire.

Probably just the old story.... you know...... people start to get better looking after your fifth beer.

[The Jeff]

Looks pretty pumped.
I love him long time.

Ok...

[Dan Warna]

I think bazza is a top bloke and a potential superstar ruckman

Once again dan I have to conur with your keen insights, I wish I was as clever as you!!

Once again dan I am flawed by your erratic thoughts and misguided logic. I wish you were more clever like me!!

[Young Georgie]

Is that Harves giving Bazza some wise old words of advice on hamstring tweeking? 'Now look mate, if all looks lost in the elimination just reach down, give it a little rub and bingo, half respectable exit from AFL/VFL footy - and get that goofy grin off ya chops!'

Or is he enquiring about hamstring transplant possibilities when Bazza sadly departs?

[aussiejones]

Just compare the thighs ....

[dalboy]

See ya later Barry...you're done!

[Dan Warna]

They are ruckman. He is not a ruckman. He is a forward who rucks poorly in a seconds side.

You would never see an identical photograph to this featuring either Rix or Clarke.

The reason?

Neither of them would be running with the ball in their hands - in fact, change that to having the ball in their hands at all.

Not even at VFL level.

Given Gardiner did not get on the park, that one photo puts Brooks a very long way ahead of both of our other "ruckmen", Rix and M. Clarke

Well there is one person who disagrees with you. RL.

And to put your comments into context, Plugger66, Brooks is again named at CHF for Casey Scorpions.

A position neither M. Clarke or Rix could play at that level.

As Lyon has been quoted, Watts and Brooks sit behind Gehrig, Riewoldt and Kossy waiting their chance.

Well, how many more years has Gehrig got in him and what would Roo be like if freed up from the rigours of CHF to go where he wants?

The left foot pass Roo put to Kossy, under pressure, against WCE showed the skill of the man and I, for one, would like to see him given a more on-ball role - he would create may-hem for opposition sides who could not then reduce his effectiveness by double teaming him and by forcing him up the ground for possessions.

And a reduction of our current absolute reliance on him in attack would benefit the side in the longer run.

...........the difference between rix ,clarke and brooks is that brooks can at least play football....you know take a mark ...kick a goal...pass the ball to a team mate by hand or by foot......
