leave it to deever

No love lost here. Dont hold back mate. As per my previous post here..my mate and I chickened out at age 12 seems in hindsight, the correct call.

Still seems hard to fathom at times, even if I have watched the replay over forty times.

Its gunna happen. All our players will get even better. Buy your tickets asap.

Those things were deadly at a quiet patch during the cricket. Whoever invented a dangerous projectile, only to then fill it up with an anger inducing liquid was evil.

I guess umpires had to be braver in those days as there was no sheltered exit for them.

Grand final replay will be a ripper in round one. Not a fan of timeslot for young families sake but cant wait to watch it. I guess dogs have more to play for...revenge etc. But we have the task of winning a cup at the Mcg so we will need to channel our granny efforts again. Kudos for the afl for this concept. It will also be good to see some Nt games again.

I wonder If Trac surprised himself with our first goal. Off one step that was an incredibly powerful kick. It's no like it just made it either. Man that bloke has powerful legs. Which brings me to Sparrow. His goal was not too dissimilar. Given his age, I wonder if we have another CP on our hands. Tom Sparrow's efforts seem to stand out more every time I watch the replay. Such poise and presence for a young fella in a granny. When he didnt blaze away in that first minute of the last and pass to Bbb, was a moment when this kid became a permanent part of this team in my mind. To think he will continue to get even stronger gives us a very tough midfield.

Action Jackson doll.

It's an extra long drive back from Geelong when we used to lose. I was never brave enough to go to Vic park. At the age of 12 ( I cant believe even before that age then how much freedom to wonder, I had. ...my parents were irresponsible but it was great) my mate a crazy tigers fan wanted me to go with him but we chickened out.

Yep its incredible what people paid for.

Probably because he can wear it if he wants to.

Thanks T RaB Got to this too late but like it would have made any difference.

I'm going back a few years and tipping my hand re my age but one of my earlier memories of footy was wearing number 2 on my duffle coat. Ah yes the height of fashion...the duffle coat. The Vfl was a fascinating time with our different grounds and the parochialism. It wasn't fun visiting another ground. I also miss state of origin. Cigarettes adds on the fences and mud covered toilets at Moorabbin. The wind at Arden street. The tram and two bus trips to get to Waverly. Floor is open for reminiscing about the good old days......

Same here. Punchline up there with " around the grounds"

Twas the perfect year including a win over the eagles on their home turf, a win over power the same and the incredible comeback at kardinia which probably stuck in the cats minds for the prelim.

Cant wait to see this guys trajectory continue.

Mmmmm....crumble

Thanks for the post Dante. Your honesty is refreshing. The thing I like about Bbb at present is he seems to have added another dimension to his game. He has always been a lead into space forward but this year seems to have come into his own as a player taking pack Mark's or contesting and getting the ball to ground for our many crumbles. But even as his old self at Norf, to kick that many goals and be discarded after one poor season was just wrong imho. But thanks norf.

Still cant fathom Norf letting Bbb go. I hope he has a great pre season and plays a full season. He still has several seasons left in him and if he topped the h and a goal tally for 3 years in a low team he could do much more with us.

Yea it's a valid point. I'm sure once you've won a flag that number is cemented for good.

We changed our forward structure considerably around the Queens Birthday round. After some fine tuning even with Tmacs dip in form it really started to fire up. I dont think its unreasonable to expect it to keep improving and this year we will see some even bigger scores by us.

Did you tell them Max sends his best? I used to get worried about hawkins when we played them. They must have nightmares about Gawnie.

64 days to go folks.
