Who said Aussie Rules 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 Brereto*n).

' 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).*
