I thought he was very good. Noticed him in the clinches. He is a strong boy, lots of physical presence. And as mentioned he kicks long. Good news.

I was watching on justin.tv and listening to AW. Walls was saying Gilbert was a superstar in the making. Then Commetti, Rex and the others got on the Gilbert bandwagon. He was very impressive. As were a few others of course!

Brian Dixon it was Loris. Saddest thing for me too that he missed the 66 GF. Belting Darryl Peoples wasn't worth it in the end! What a player. And very nice and gentle off it. He was all shy when I asked him for his aotograph at Moorabbin one day. Very unassuming. I was about 10 years old. Great pla...

Many thought our '65 side stronger than '66, but the Dons did us in the GF due apparently to our inexperience and naivety of finals time.

Great memories. Where did that stuff come from? Is there more? The Round 7 game was I think the first time I went to Moorabbin. The swap of Howell and Murray I remember very well. My Dad did business with Verdun's brother, and got the word during the week that the swap was on. Great secrecy ( how a ...

Jack Steven

He was very young for last year's draft I seem to remember. There was a chance he'd have to wait until this year's draft, but we snaffled him. That was the story given out last year. If that's true, at what number would be have been drafted this year? Purely hypothetical I know, but would be interes...

You might be right Les, but my recollection was not every week. Maybe the GB service is a little different. Not sure. Anyway later is bad for my golf. I usually get most of the game in before I head off, now it will be bang in the middle. No good if it's on the Internet radio....ok if on TV because ...

I remember the Twilights, top band.

No good for us in Europe. Setanta won't show Live Games that are at odd times....like Friday night....or Monday....normal afternnon games usually. Good for listening on the Internet. Not good for watching.

Crikey...I've come back two days later to find the post had exploded with views. My own is that he would be handy back up. Seems a tough unit, and he's had good days not that long ago. Playing with the Dees can't have been that easy. Remember Martin Pike. No one would touch him except for Lethal. En...

First final I went to was in '66, second-semi v Collingwood. We lost by 10 points. I thought it was the end of the world. The only tickets my Dad could get were sitting with the PIES fans....he told me to keep my mouth shut, but I screamed 'Carn the Saints' all the way through. Was just short of my ...

Looks like a BOG for the Scorps. ( Or did someone make that up?). Young guy....so understand him being a bit rebellious. Just got to hope he matures without them suffocating him.

Armo

I watch the odd game, and listen on the internet, so I don't know.

Thought we'd really found a guy with him. Tough, good skills, bit of a mongrel. Surely on a greasy night last night he would've been handy.

Or are there issues? Seems a waste.

You got it right in the title ....Footkills.... I couldn't believe the amount of 'helicoptors' and shanks our guys were kicking....some under pressure, many not. If we'd hit even 30% more targets we would have won. Not to mention the static way we moved the ball. Some of it was like watching footy i...

Had a bad feeling all week....Collingwood did play well, but we didn't get the run on we should have due to poor disposal. They pressured us, but we were poor. Very disappointing. Hayes seemed to have too much to do. Seems ridiculous to say we missed Ball with all the outs they had, but very few ste...
