Who said footballers aren’t smart
'I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.'* *
(Shane Wakelin).* *
'Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein.'* *
(Mick Malthouse - Collingwood).* *
'I'm going to graduate on time, no matter how long it takes.'* *
(Peter Bell - Fremantle - on his University Law studies).* *
'You guys line up alphabetically by height.' and 'You guys pair up in groups of three, then line up in a circle.'* *
(Barry Hall Sydney Captain at training).* *
Brock Maclean (Melbourne) on whether he had visited the Pyramids during his visit to Egypt:* *
'I can't really remember the names of the clubs that we went to.'* *
'He's a guy who gets up at six o'clock in the morning regardless of what time it is.'* *
(Kevin Sheedy on James Hird).* *
Jonathan Brown, on night Grand Finals vs Day Games* *
'It's basically the same, just darker.'* *
Ron Barassi talking about Gary Cowton 'I told him, 'Son, what is it with you. Is it ignorance or apathy?'* *
He said, 'Barass, I don't know and I don't care.'* *
Barry Hall (Sydney) when asked about the upcoming season:* *
'I want to kick 70 or 80 goals this season, whichever comes first.'* *
'Luke Hodge - the 21 year old, who turned 22 a few weeks ago'* *
(Dermott Brereton).* *
'Chad had done a bit of mental arithmetic with a calculator.'* *
(Mark Williams).* *
'We actually got the winning goal three minutes from the end but then they scored.'* *
(Ben Cousins, West Coast Eagles).* *
'I've never had major knee surgery on any other part of my body.'* *
(Luke Darcy).* *
'That kick was absolutely unique, except for the one before it which was identical.'* *
(Dermott Brereton).* *
'Sure there have been injuries and deaths in football - but none of them serious.'* *
(Adrian Anderson).* *
'If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.* *
(Andrew Demetriou).* *
'I would not say he (Chris Judd) is the best centreman in the AFL* *
but there are none better.' (Dermott Brereton).* *
'I never comment on umpires and I'm not going to break the habit of* *
a lifetime for that prat.' (Terry Wallace).* *
Garry Lyon: 'Have you ever thought of writing your autobiography?'* *
David Swartz: 'On what?'* *
'Well, either side could win it, or it could be a draw.'* *
(Dermott Brereton).* *
'Strangely, in slow motion replay, the ball seemed to hang in the air for even longer.'* *
(Dermott Brereton).*
I guess that's why they play Aussie Rools
