If we do have salary cap issues do you think Roo would take a pay cut to get Cuz, i think he would and i also think some of our players would give up some cash if they thought he would give us a better chance at a flag. If harves was playing next year i think he would of given up almost all of his ...

How I love a juicy rumour!
Must be that time of year.

It was reprinted around 2000 but not the same quality I understand

Oh you youngsters! The most recent players I have met and spoken to were Buckets at the Ainslie FC in Canberra and Cuz at Moorabbin. In the post war years Colin Williamson was a close neighbour for years and after retirement coached the local club for which I played. He captained the club for a year...

I have no personal gripe against Smith, perhaps because I do not read him often enough. This article by him is well constructed and seems to carry a good deal of logic--if the facts are right. As for Cousins I have always had the view that one factor would cause him to come to us-- his mate Gardiner...

Ball
Dal

Bakes could be in there if we need a tagger.

There will always only be one Cuz in my book. The great Nicky Winmar

Ricky Nixon is his manager I believe. Would Ricky have our best interests at heart, and better still should he?

Thanks Grumpy. Yes a bit of a gap in my story. I moved to Canberra and at every opportunity went back. On those occasions a relo always let me have a seat next to my Dad. I have kept my membership alive . Actually I was at the '66 GF then missed the big one the next year. In recent years my visits h...

Since leaving Melbourne in '57 I have occasionally visited Linton Street mainly out of nostalgia and have wandered up to te seat where my Dad and I sat for many years following the move to Moorabbin. In the previous era it was the Junction Oval but years ago they changed that too. March On! Saints! ...

He only put in one good game for the Crows IMO

I have forgotten what his kind of injury was and the nature of the surgery. I do recall it was severe. Can someone pls fill me in?
We sure want him back 100%

My order for three signed books has yet to arrive. Wonder will he use a black or a blue pen?

Has he got a nickname yet? If not how about Hoo

Look out for your copy if you ordered.

Is it autographed by the champ?

Typical low-key news for us. But keep it that way Sainters and save it for the big explosion next season.

I knew I should not have gone out for the day!!!!!

A great win for you Sam. The coolest mover I have seen.

Very interesting thread. I have for a long time had a notion that we have not been the "flavour of the month" with certain journos. Would like to know what makes RL tick in this regard. Of course there are the favourites (clubs) such as Collingwood, Carlton, Richmond, Essendon who get into...

I really have no preferences or wishes for either team, only a realisation that we were not good enough to be one of the teams and a burning sadness for the great Robert Harvey.

Ask Schneider what he thinks

Why even consider a traitor who listened to one Anthony Lockett?
In other words why go backwards

If Dal Santo and Kositzke are retained surely they will take note of what their captain has openly said about them and act appropriately. But they both need to start very early, even before the start of the pre season.

I'm happy to admit that we do not have any thugs in our line-up and that if he did try anything our boys would not be expert at squaring with him or any of his mates without getting booked. Lets hope it is a clean contest though I have grave doubts that it will be.

Crikey! what a lot of scone-grabbers-cum-ankle biters you were. Am I the only one game enough to declare that I was 43 then. But I missed it. I was at the '65 loss to the Bombers. Sat in the MCG Members stand dead scared all afternoon in case someone nicked me for having a borrowed members ticket. :...

Well after all they do have a mighty lot of credibility to catch up on. Do you agree Eddy?
And for those who might reply to me I have already given full credit to Wakelin and Co.
