OK Stinger - and was Bonney playing for the Saints and Stewart for Richmond at the time? It might have made for a biased memory - and Stewart faded rapidly, didn't he? A star that shines so bright - or a star that shines brightly for a long time? Is that what we are arguing about? BTW I am not sure ...

Regrets - we've had a few ....
Anyone remember 1965 GF - I bet that was a shocker too .... Fordham from memory as a 9yo listening on radio.

Funny that no one mentioned the semi V Footscray in 92 - we were virtual flag faves after doing a great job on Collingwood the week before in QF .

Young Grant did over our D Grant ... kicked a few in the last to snatch it I think - season lost.
Noone picked them either.

And from memory - just to further Winmar7 POV Nicky played two games at FF in 1989 - replacing plugger at the MCG 9 goals Rd 21, 1989 8 goals Rd 20, 1989 He might have made a great FF!! The trouble was that he was needed at the time - to kick out at FB - mark at CHB - pass to the wing - where he cou...

Personally I always valued Harves more in the team due to his unfaltering delivery and capacity to perform in the middle regardless of opposition. What do the stats say about average possessions for each of them - when at their peak? Harves by a few lengths in sheer quality - he could always do impo...

Interesting thread - still - even with you two arguing. But keep in mind about past players that: 1. Many more kids tried to play footy and wanted to be stars ( in the 60s for example EVERYONE was playing footy), therefore the stars were so much better than all athletes at the time..... !!! 2. Train...

haha - if Carl was around the opp. taggers would be too busy watching their own arses! No time for Dal or anyone else.
But - like Plugger he would be out for a few weeks each year.

Without looking up the stats - weren't there games when we would lose and only kick about 10 goals and Plugger would get 8 or so? Was there ever a player who could stand beside Plugger and match him man for man? I think not. This can also be said of Stewart, Doc and Harves to some extent - if Roo le...

Hey Saint Pat - I really like your sig. It says a lot doesn't it - T Daniher of all players really did know how to get the job done with few frills or fancy work - and apparently basic skills. Dal and a few of our boys should think hard about applying that quote to their work ethic this year. Exactl...

Seriously?

Obviously this is a contentious issue then - who would have thought?

Cool ... then he can appoint himself Team Manager or whatever ....

Oops ..... amended
And that means I liked two ....

1. Jeans
2. Alves
3. Thomas
4. Lyon
5. Sheldon
6. Killigrew

I did not see one of them coach - and only liked one genuinely.
But things can change
What a bunch!

Yeah OK - he is a great - but I want to see a brilliant PF or GF performance to put him up there - I think all of the others did that.
eg: N. Winmar game in PF against Nth in 97

What a classic thread ... I only saw Baldock on TV and he was about five levels above anyone his size that played - he seemed to do impossible things every week. Ian Stewart I saw quite a bit and he took the game apart on a forward flank or centre - even when he went to Richmond. He took some of the...

Can you really white-ant a fallen citadel?

1. The dude with THAT avatar should post more often. 2. It is February and everyone is still on holidays. 3. Some new players showed some stuff. 4. Goddard will be unmatchable. 4. If you want to win a pre-season you play your best players and risk big injuries. 5. We have decided that number 4 is no...

GCFC - do you mean the Guild of Canadian Film Composers????
Or the possible Gold Coast Sharks?

Goddard is officially our second best player. We now officially have 2 good football players in the team. The rest are average. They may have been average on Sat night - but since we made the PF in 08 and the others are average the conclusion is that both of these two must be totally superior to an...

This has to be the most entertaining thread of the year ....... well maybe a couple of years.

Which end is "our end"?

He acted like a super-arrogant Cats supporter - and completely neglected Goddard in the mid-field - when he is named RR !!
Go Goddard - show the true potential - and get on the mid-field list of cabbages like this dude.

IMO Goddard is too big and strong for Ling.
