Snipping lines to make them lose all context as above is why footy players won't give decent quotes anymore.

Say something based on thought and response to a question rather than off the pre-scripted harmless spin sheet, and someone's going to come and truncate the comment so that it says something as far removes as possible from what you meant.

So we all forgive Keating for his "recession we had to have" comment?


The lid is off after Round 2! Enjoy the journey, coz you just don't know where we'll end up. Live for today and seize the moment.

hell if we got to the grand final and were beaten by a team that played better on the day its not as if the same 22 players will not be around the year after...

incorrect...who says he has to become a champion???

if he does he role in the team and better yet does it well...that doesnt constitute a champion

wanting him to become a champion is a problem with this football club...the need to have champion players...regardless of how the team is going

and if he is asked by the media homie...he is going to give an answer about the team...if he talked of nick dal santo you would be on his back saying that he isn't all in with the team and should be traded

A typical wishy washy interview by Nick.

He rarely gives much that shows he's sick of the criticism & is going to make people eat their words. Sadly I think he's quite happy to plod along.

Hopefully he's keeping his powder dry and will let his onfield performances speak for him.

Sadly, I'm not holding my breath.

Sadly, I have to agree. The form is too strong.

I must admit I had to read over it a couple of times I couldn't believe he said it. Very bad choice of words indeed but probably didn't mean it the way it was written.

the other way to interpret it, "We needed to win the premiership last year for Harvs...but that didnt happen either"
