Plugger returns.

HAHA. Wonder Pig.
What a sorry sight he was. I was listening to the commentary on the radio and I think it was Jason Dunstall who said Plugger was an embarrasment to the team.
I don't feel sorry for him - he was, after all, a Legend.
He should have stayed one.

Nick The Pie Man,

I probably shouldn't answer that question. Especially after that topic a few weeks ago about what a shocking thing it is for spectators to touch players.

But ask yourself, what would you have done in the same situation? Leon Davis has just sealed the game, he walks right up to the Cheer Squad to celebrate.

What would YOU have done?

Would you have just done nothing?

Would you have just said, "Oh, jolly good, old chap ... what a positively ripping goal."

OK. OK, already. I plead guilty. I hugged Neon Leon in a fit of passion. I just couldn't resist. Maybe I should plead insanity. Or throw myself on the mercy of the court.

I am such a bad person.

Mea culpa ... mea culpa ... whip! whip! ... mea culpa.

Definately no problems with a quick hugg to celebrate a goal.I'm sure Leon enjoyed the experience himself.I think people had a problem with the other occasion because the ball was alive so big difference to a celebration.Actually its great to see the players passion in this day and age of professioalism go and celebrate with supporters after a goal.

ALF! You should be ashamed of yourself for carrying on like an absolute maniac while the rest of us were sitting there and clapping politely.
