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

Straight from the horse's mouth.

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

I don't think its sad at all Old Dee. It would be much sadder if you couldn't remember a cracker of it!

"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.

Gippy

 

Here's some more. Some fair footballers among them.

Bert Chadwick

Allan La Fontaine

Denis Cordner

Geoff McGivern

Graeme Watson

Kelvin Clarke

Denis Clark

Shane Grambeau

Frank Rugolo

Brett Lovett

and dare I say it

Chris Johnson

Did you forget Michael 'Rowdy' Seddon?


I don't think its sad at all Old Dee. It would be much sadder if you couldn't remember a cracker of it!

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".

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

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

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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.
