Richmond's Graham Polak was hit by a tram on Saturday night. But things are looking up since he woke from a "medically-induced yesterday".
Liam Pickering: What about the sad news of Graham Polak overnight?
Danny Frawley: Pretty disappointing... he's in a self-induced coma.
~~ Sunday, half-time, Melbourne vs Brisbane
And those "frist steps" are most definitely a good sign.

That is freakin' hilarious. On a least two levels. Probably only two levels, but, um, yeah.
Levels.
Do you believe I posted this in the comments section at The Age or The Australian or some site like that and the lousy mongrels pre moderated it, didn't post it? Prolly something to do with copyright I suspect...
Happy Valentine's Day, Graham!

Haven't you ever been in a self-induced coma? I know I have. In fact, I've got the weekend off so I might induce another coma on Friday night.

Danny Frawley spent most of his Richmond coaching career in a self-induced coma.

Not that I follow football, but would a self-induced coma be an understandable reaction to his team's performance of recent years?

Biggy's right. The whole thing has more levels than a sixties love pad.
For a start: the other day WAS a medically induced yesterday. The next day. Anyway.
For a second: Polak walking in front of the tram WAS self-induced.
For a thirdly: if Polak was pissed it WAS self-induced in the traditional sense; doubly so, if you consider that his self-induced walking in front of the tram was self-induced.
For a four: I got no four.

Four: That the boofhead actually said it.
Five: But, upon reflection, pure Frawley. Not actually surprised he said it.
Six: That he didn't get picked up on it (only guessing that).
Seven: Imagine having that power! "Feeling a bit crook, luv. I'll just be in my room for a few hours in a self induced coma." [ADOPTS LOTUS POSITION] "Hummmmmmmmmmmmm..."
More levels than a carpenters' convention.

He didn't get picked up on it. Pickers just moved on to the next item.
