durango 2,024 Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 Definately Cameron Schwab he was the most arrogant person who I have ever met lived of his fathers reputation and Ray Manley was always listening to the races on match day updating the players on the results as they came to the bench. He had a good reputation but was a total idiot and was one of the reasons the MFC crashed during his tenure as the Secretary of the MFC for the MCC. Quote

He wore number 44 I think you’re right, Mr Lord. I was a real fan of Scot’s. Exquisite talent, I thought, but he seemed to disappear. ? Injury? Tasmanian, I think.

His Miss in the 87 Preliminary Final was possibly the worse miss in the History of the game!! Just when I was erasing it from my memory !!? He was a fair way out to be fair, I think it was 2 metres.

Jumping Jack Clennett 1,825 Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 That’s wrong about Eishold. I think all his critics are like my mates who say they never watch replays of losses. Eishold marked the ball on the sideline of the square about 4 meters out. Umpire David Howlett, who had been influenced in his decisions all day by the experienced Hawthorn players, ran in from 60 m away , and decided he marked it about half a metre out, so put him on an acute angle. It should have been an absolute “gimme”,but Howlett made it a very difficult shot. No wonder Eishold was nervous , when he had about a 1 metre target to thread it through. Eishold had an excellent kicking technique, and had shown himself previously to be an accurate shot for goal. t 2 Quote
Demonstone 23,573 Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 I can recall that, years later, Eishold revealed that the occasion got to him and that his legs turned to jelly. Any suggestion that it was a tough shot is ludicrous. There are no excuses for his terrible miss from so close. 1 Quote

Tough shot, tough circumstances & I wonder how you would go put in the same position......any suggestions that it was an easy shot shows your lack of knowledge & ignorance. He was a great player for the Dees who could read the play exceptionally well whilst bringing others into the game. Quote
Demonstone 23,573 Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Crikey Old Goat, you accuse me of a lack of knowledge then go on to describe Eishold as "a great player". He wasn't great, he was a foot soldier and no better than average. That shot wasn't tough, especially for a "great" player. We have a different opinion. C'est la vie. I would have slotted it, since you ask! ? 1 Quote

Fair enough old boy but I liked him & the way he went about it......82 games & 50 goals....not bad & during a time when it was difficult to get a game for the dees during our resurgence....& I reckon unless your put in that same situation, then none of us know really how hard it would be...... Gees you must have been good in your day.....? 2 Quote
durango 2,024 Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 I was there he was snowed by the Hawthorne players and did not go back far enough and he did not compose himself like some players like Lloyd did. He did not lose the game the problem was every player wanted to be a hero like Yeats and others who were running towards goal and Robert Flower was alone in the goal square and a simple handball or kick would have resulted in a goal even though Robert had hurt his shoulder he would have done the job. 1 Quote
Laughing Goat 308 Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 It was just one of those days.....our boys were young & inexperienced. Kicked with the wind for 3 quarters, missed crucial goals, injuries to key players & we were still in front went the siren went. Never seen so many grown people cry. 1 Quote
