Geez....brutal stuff...
1) Reserves had to practice in the car park!!
2) Dropped on 99 straight games
3) The ‘Doc’ treated him like s***, ditto Trott
4) No pay - the club were piss poor tp be sure
5) he was also part-time groundsman! Wow...and is still a groundsman today. Knows a thing or two about sprinklers. Lol
Great bloke, Fader, who was still playing in the over 35s comp last time I spoke with him. Captain and coach of Maffra for many years and still lives there.shanegrambeau wrote: ↑Wed 16 Sep 2020 7:46pm So how come his brother hardly got picked by us after his first season - if, as Jofffa says, he was a better player than Joffa.

Joffa did not appear or sound disgruntled. Did you actually watch the show?

And there was nothing complimentary that deserved to be said about StKilda during Joffa's time.
Yep - not Sheehan's fault that we were awful in that erasunsaint wrote: ↑Thu 17 Sep 2020 5:50pm seeing how Sheehan mostly interviews players/officials from the 70/80/90s era
How many of our stories werent tinged with
Club upheaval
Club financial woes
Player unrest
Player non payment
Brawls in the disco
off field indiscretions
you know all the usual stuff
I think its common knowledge why Fader was not given a fair go at the club.shanegrambeau wrote: ↑Wed 16 Sep 2020 7:46pm So how come his brother hardly got picked by us after his first season - if, as Jofffa says, he was a better player than Joffa.

Joffa was being kind about his brother . Joffa was a far far better player than Fader. Fader was pretty handy, but Joffa was a star. It is a long time ago, but I do not recall being surprised when Fader was in and out of the side. I used to watch the whole Reserves games in those days, and I thought Andrew Jobling was more unlucky than Fader when it came to senior selection. Fader had one magic day out at Waverley against the Tigers when we absolutely crushed them; whereas Joffa was an excitement machine game after game.shanegrambeau wrote: ↑Wed 16 Sep 2020 7:46pm So how come his brother hardly got picked by us after his first season - if, as Jofffa says, he was a better player than Joffa.
