    Right there with you mate. I remember being a youthful young idiot and searched for months to who was singing a song I used to hear in surfing videos and it ended up being Audioslave. Completely opened up my world to new music. Absolutely shattering.
    What song was it?

    Cochise. Listening to it now. Holding back tears, never knew the guy personally but fuck it's strange how people you don't know can affect your life this way.

    I got Down on the Upside when it came out and was one of my first tastes of rock music. Still love that album, it was big for me back in the day. The rest is history and love the man and what he has done

    Cheers mate, always moving forward , it's the dwelling that gets you!

    Funnily enough I been listening to Fleetwood Mac a load recently and Stevie Nicks has that husky, unmistakable voice that Chris had.

    Soundgarden, Audioslave and FM playlist this week.

    I've just realised that Frawley scored 30 last week having only kicked for like 90 metres. If he gets the bulk of it he'll be a good scorer.

    Now I'm tempted to play him Shocked

    Ah a few fellow Soundgarden fans in here I see. I was fortunate enough to see them perform live at Soundwave a few years ago. I can say I got to hear Rusty Cage in person although unfortunately they didn't do Jesus Christ Pose that day. Had a blast of You Know My Name just a few minutes ago, life is fleeting, music is eternal.

    Set your expectations higher! The amount of time we put into this crap and the knowledgeable minds amongst us we should all be pushing for top 50!!

    I think he should be a 40pt scorer. I will go Niko over Frawley this week just because I would think Niko can rack up some points tomorrow night.

    On another note dang Paulo on the bench means no 80 minute Brailey. I'm putting my faith in the advice here to stick solid with him and trade up to McInnes in 13 instead of jumping the gun with Friend.
    Y'all helped me nab a handy player for the byes all things permitting and a cash cow last week so I'm going to play it conservatively this week.

    I've opted for both Moga and Cotric over Hayne this week. Crap scorer in the centres without a couple of meat pies, and too many injury concerns going into the round

    Playing Niko is the sensible move

    I have done exactly the same haha.

    I was going to ask earlier, who is playing Hayne this week by choice? And who is forced into playing him for lack of better options?

    For those that have Brown, did you bring him in purely for his bye coverage or because you see him being a solid scorer and possible keeper?

    I've reversed my Norman to SJ trade and was going to turn Kaufusi into Brown but I feel half hearted about that.

    He's played big minutes the last 4 games, how likley is it that he keeps this up?
