One of my favourite players was The Flash who we drafted from the VFL (originally as a rookie). 

The club has drafted three players this year from that competition and I hope they can have good AFL careers like his. 

Meanwhile, Aaron has taken up a coaching job at Doveton which is not that far from Casey where two of our rookies were recruited from -

Good luck Flash!

 

Is that a typo in the header? Netball league?

Good luck Flash. The 'Duvvy' supporters will be very excited about seeing someone with a full set of teeth. Or any teeth for that matter. I wouldn't necessarily be taking my car to the ground though.

Hope he's got a good 'man cave' at his place.

He's got 5 kids and at least two (but I think 3) are boys. Naturally, all 5 will be playing for Melbourne!

Before "Flash" did his hammy really badly at Etihad years ago he was the fastest player on a footy field i had ever seen. 

Those first 2 seasons he played were incredible

He was like a leopard pouncing on opponents. Flash certainly changed the landscape for small forwards. The best ones then became defensive as well as offensive weapons. Exciting to watch.

Yes his tackles from behind in the centre square were worth the admission price alone. Such a shame he didn't play serious finals football in those 2 years (Prelims or GF's)

Just on this point, is there a father-daughter rule similar to the father-son rule in the men's competition? And, hopefully, a mother-daughter and a mother-son rule might eventually take hold.

Isnt Alwyn involved as well? Glad I'm too old to play as the 'might' Black Rock footy club is playing Doveton again this year. If they are pulling the boots on they will slaughter teams in the 3rd Div.

We played against Anthony McDonald across a couple of seasons he played in that league and he was well and truly 5 classes above.

A bit like going to Highgate Oval at Crazyburn RTG. I no longer take the Merc.

When I was last there Biffen asked me to catch up with an old friend of his. "long hair, obese, plenty of tatts and a decent mo". I had to admit failure in finding Shazza though because every second sheila fitted that description

Was always funny when we played away at Dovers, a few of the guys came down with the dreaded Doveton "flu". Terrible affliction, usually took hold between training on Thursday night and Friday afternoon/evening, but apparently you came good Saturday late afternoon and were right to hit up the Beauy Sat night.

My recollections of playing Doveton Lions in the junior comp are:

Being punched in the head every time I lead up for a mark by a bloke with a full beard who then did time for murder

Several parents beaten up when we played at their home ground as juniors

Most of their u16 side driving cars to our ground

A general feeling of fear

RtG I must admit I didn't have to much fear most of the time but that was totally misplaced bravado along with having some absolute fearless mongrels on our side to boot.

They were fing savages at times. 2 of the biggest brawls I've seen/been a part of were playing Duffton. Cops and dogs needed on one occasion when fans and players from both sides got involved. Was a not very pleasant experience but generally got the heart racing each time you rolled up against them.

At least you were sporting enough to educate your social inferiors on evading conflict RTG.

Most of those 16 year olds got their cars the honest way - with the baby bonus.

I believe the sporting cultural i landscape is so strong in the area that they refuse all suits but the track suit!!

Soft....try playing coolooroo rovers in the vafa as old boys of a private school 

They were reputed to have been ejected from f grade and their team included players taking part in a pentridge day release scheme

I found the spectators more of a risk than the players

My brother who lives in FNQ has told me Flash has been appointed coach of the Carins City Lions. Really great news as Aaron was one of my favorite ever players with us and as a former resident of Carins and follower of Cairns afl i think it will be great for the sport up there.

Loved playing against Duvvy!

No quarter asked, none given

Hard contested, good footy - and a handshake at the end

Good luck, Flash!
