Sam to wear number 17

[Prof 15]

where'd you hear this from? any other number changes?

Straight from the horse's mouth.

[Prof 15]

Think he was a magnificent drop-kick from memory. Thought that team would do better than they did ie Biffen, Dillon, Parke, Alves...

Yes, he was. His nickname was 'Bona' but we won't go there!

My God there are some old Bastards on this thread!

The really sad think is I remember all you are talking about.

Yes Prof, Denis Clark was good for a few years .

I think a knee injury took him out, probably the sort of injury theu fix now and have the guy playing again in 8 weeks.

Somethings have definately improved.

Some one mentioned Greg Parke he must have been the worst kick for goal the Dees have every had in the forward line ( and we have had some poor ones over the years )

I would hate to know the number of matches he kick 1 goal 6 and 4 out on the full.

He left the dees and went to the Dogs and then used kick 7 straight from 50 meters out against us.

How a hated him in those years.

Better stop I am starting to depress myself.

PS Anyone remember Spud Dullard?

PPS Gary Hardiman was my hero, played his heart out for the Dees when we were very ordinary

Can you speak to him about a couple of tips for Saturday?

"Spud" Dullard was very aptly named i thought!!

was that the same time the charismatic Dennis Jones was coaching the Club?

I went into the Inverloch Club Rooms there's a picture of B Lovett hanging on the wall, he played a bit of junior footy there, but I loved the fact they claimed him as their own.

What are you talking about? He was recruited from Inverloch before he went on to play for Melbourne. Of course they would claim him. Not much else has come out of Inverloch.

He still has family down there and incidently his sister (Garry Lyon's Ex-wife) have a house down in Inverloch. Garry often mentions that he frequents down in Inverloch.

The sad bit Deeoldfart is I have been around that long I remember them all Well most.

There are actually a lot of years that I wish I could forget.

But you are right as my wife keeps telling me " don't worry about another birthday it is a lot better than the alternative".

Yes the one and only DJ, was a modest ruckman in his day but as a coach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kongwacker 69]

Prof, glad you mentioned Kelvin Clarke, a very good footballer and a real good bloke

[drdrake 3,163]

Heard a rumour that the club gave him 17 because that is how many times he spewed up at training last week

I think Spud Dullard kicked 3 goals with his first 3 kicks. He got his nickname from his old man who also played for the Dees. Greg Parke was a very good mark but a shithouse kick. He took 20+ marks in a game against Essendon in 1969. Gary Hardeman was a star. Started in 1967 on the half forward flank. Played there for a couple of seasons then moved to CHB. I think I'll start a new thread: "Worst important kick ever" I've already got the winner!

Will be a great No 17 We have retired this number for few years. Will be great to see it running around again
