    I think the Mead issue should be about the role that best suits his skills.

    B.Morris, Yowyeh and Uate are highly prized specialist wingmen as is Mead, the difference being they get plenty of ball.

    Moving club is one thing but moving club to be fullback is something else. If fullback is his desire which team should he move to for his own good? Is he going to replace Dugan, Coote, Gordon, Stewart, Slater, Bowen, Boyd, Locke, Barba, Moltzen and so on? Maybe he can but not with any certainty.

    He would be better advised to negotiate an up-graded contract which I am sure everyone would agree with and demand more ball where he can best use his skills. I have to agree with Tamwelg that he went ok on Friday but was a lot more impressive on the wing. If he seriously wants to play fullback, even in front of the QCup mplayers, he needs an off-season learning it with the team.

    The only try Mead scored on friday night was when he was playing on the wing. Is that a sign?

    Not really...he hasn't had much training in the fullback position and was thrown in there at the last minute.
    With the right coaching he could possibly go well at fullback.

    In saying that...He's been great on the Titans wing and would like to see him stay there...I also think Zillman suits fullback but could do a whole lot better with a good technical coach.

    I thought KG went good at fullback when he went back there.
    Was good catching up with the boys after the game.

    He also gave a 'running the late sweep extra man try assist' that weve been wanting Zillman to do for 2 years.

    Mead did it in his first game... is that a sign?

    Im happy if Davids happy, i think given time, he could be an amazing broken field fullback, but he could also be a Brett Morris, Uate, even Ash Graham, guys who rack up 16-24 tries a year as a specialist winger. it all depends on the service he gets.

    This is my point ... we just don't play to our strengths.

    Given the reliability of the airline Shamus will be praying that the flight leaves on time & on arrival at Melbourne's airport that the Cab driver (who will struggle to speak English) will get them to their Hotel in Peak Hour Traffic where after checking in they will then have to get to AAMI Park before kick off

    The 2nd half may be the best part of the match anyway


    This is the main reason i won't use this airline anymore..
    OK....Old news now but if any is interested I will tell you a story. I booked my flights to Melbourne months and months ago and booked Friday flights in case of a Friday night game. Which it turned out to be. I also booked early flights in case of any delays. Well Jetstar came back to me around a month ago with info that my flight was moved back 2 hours. No worrries I said to myself, still plenty of time to get from airport to motel, relax over a beer or two then head to the game. So come game day (Friday) I receive a text at 9am stating my flight has been cancelled and to check my emails. WHAT!...9am and they cancel!! My flight was 1pm so they have given me 4 hours notice! So I get onto my email and no details of another flight just an option to fill out a form and redeeem a $100 flight voucher that must be used within 3 months! Absolutely no good to me as I have my next lot of flights (GF) already booked and paid for. (Unfortunately Jetstar again). But hang on, I am now getting to the REALLY annoying part.

    I am forced to ring their Call Centre (we all know where that is) and ask what the fark is going on as I need to be in Melbourne absolutely no later than 4pm. After some lengthy time waiting for some feedback (and in the meantime I have told the missus to have everything packed and at the door in case of a flight within the next hour or two) I get told the only other flight is at 4:30 or thereabouts. As it is a 2 hour flight to Melbourne this was not acceptable and I told them so. 'OK then sir then there is nothing we can do!' PIGS FARKIN' AR$E was my reply. Get me on a freaking flight and do it now! So it seemed there was no other Jetstar flights out of GC or Brisbane but there was a Qantas flight in Brisbane they were willing to put me on. Trouble is that this flight was also near 4pm and I had no means of getting to Brisbane unless I drove myself and paid around $100 parking for the week so I asked for the times of the GC flight again. 'Sorry sir, that flight is now full'. What tha!....You freaking idiots didn't keep that window open for me whilst we discussed my options! GRRR!! I asked to be put on the Qantas flight out of Brisbane as I had no other option left. I then begged my daughter who was taking us to GC airport could she possibly take us to Brissie. (My return flight was into GC so unless I cancelled and rebooked I was gunna have trouble getting up to Brissie to get my car if I drove myself). My wonderful daughter said yes so although our flight was now hours and hours away we left straight for Brissie to hope for an earlier flight. To cut a long story short (coz it is getting kind of long) and after a whole lot more **** in Brissie (I went right off...sorry Jetstar...nah not really) I managed to get a 1pm flight! Woohoo!! and not only that I had my own choice of movie to watch (I chose Battleship) got free sandwiches and the best part was the free beer! That part was surprising, but I took it with both hands.

    So all turned out well in the end, except for the Titans result....and thank you DM for my free tickets to the game..

    Rant now over...

    Now if the rest of the sheep would take a similar position then the airlines wouldn't get away with the murder that they do due to apathy ... my deepest respect Shamus!
