Good Charlotte are shithouse.

Finally someone speaks the truth. Now try telling that to Bunniestard who probably creamed himself everytime he saw that ad

bunniesfail didn't say he liked them ( probably does though :sarcasm: ), and I certainly am not a fan but I wouldn't call them wannabe's.

I would love to see Ponting become a professional golfer, I have heard he is good enough

I'd like to see him take Slats position on The Footy Show. Heard he's patron of the Rabbitohs.

Offtopic, but no I'm not a huge fan of Good Charlotte. But like them or not they are a major international band.

Ontopic, Captain Fantastic and The Ageless One are still there. We still have a chance.

Good Charlotte is one of the biggest bands in the world.

Thats why they play the big venues like Luna Park and Festival Hall in Melbourne.....

:lolwned! Good one Canard

Bunniestard, if they're really so big as you make them out to be and not washed-up has-beens, they (alongside ppl of ours like Delta) wouldn't need to be milking Australia for everything it's worth with their gigs on The Voice. And furthermore, as Canard said, they wouldn't need to be playing at venues such as Luna Park, which will very soon become downgraded to the Doyalson RSL club

He's Tasmanian. He's primarily an AFL fan. I've heard rumours of him being interested in being President/Chairman of his favourite team.

Point is he's more likely to be on the AFL Footy Show a year from now than the NRL one.

Like Haydos, Gilly and other great players, Ponting - as great of a player as he is - will be remembered for staying on a year too long. Age caught up with him and like Haydos, the number of times he was dismissed because of lack of footwork and being trapped on the crease was indicative of this. I think after the Adelaide test did he realise that he wasn't going to make it to the Ashes, and would've been minced meat for the likes of Anderson/Broad/Bresnan/Tremlett etc.

The bigger question is who will take his spot for the upcoming series vs Sri Lanka, as well as the tour of India (which occurs before the Ashes). On form, I would say Khawaja.

Agreed, his average finishes under 52 when at one stage he was averaging over 60. His average doesn't do his talent justice but he has no one to blame but himself. He had been in terminal decline Since Roach sconned him.

Yes, I know he's got a vested interest in the North Melbourne Kangaroos, but I remember he was also involved with the Rabbitohs (even though he's Tasmanian, he now lives in NSW. Wollongong IIRC).

Nevertheless, even if he's primarily an AFL fan, he's still do a 10x better job at co-hosting the NRL Footy Show than Slats.

 

[hineyrulz]

you may not like them but would hardly call good charlotte wannabe rockstars.

Wannabe Popstars more like it, Good Charllotte are a steaming pile of shit.

 

[Canard]

Captain Fantastic and The Ageless One

That would be a good name for a rock band actually.

100% agree with you. Although his decline started after that 1st Ashes test in Cardiff (he's only scored three centuries since then, one of them was after being dropped on 0 vs Pakistan) where his average was 56.68 at the time in July 2009,
he was never ever the same batsman against fast bowling when Roach rattled him in Perth IIRC.

His peak average was 60.07 vs England during December 2006. So, yeah, that's is quite a big drop from 60.07 to 51.85 over the space of a few years.

Regarding Gilchrist, his decline was the 2005 Ashes tour. To give you an idea of how much that tour screwed his batting up (besides that spectacular century at the WACA, which was his last), he was averaging 55.65 before the start of the tour, and finished up in January 2008 with only 47.61. AGAIN, another player who stayed on past their use-by date and hence their average was not a true indication of their career. Had the chance to go out on a high with the 2007 WC final, but stayed on a year too long.

As well as age, Haydos was undone by his achilles injury. Over the past 3 years, Ponting has shown signs of Haydos during his last year in the Australian side - lots of dismissals due to lack of footwork and being stuck on the crease. In the last year of his career, he averaged 53.52 before his achilles surgery and after his last test at the SCG less than 12 months later, his average had decreased to 50.74.

the verdict is in,

good charlotte are crap.

Well that applies to most humans on the planet.

Looks like Hussey took a bit of Jack Gibson's advice there: aim for the seagulls.
