  1. The more I think about it, I'm not a fan. Maybe chip in a bit more to spruce up the medals but it's what they represent that gives them their value. And it's not like the same players get them every year. We all know how hard they are to come by. Plus players don't do it too tough with their end of season holiday and their salaries these days. Hard to fathom fifty years ago your plumber would be fixing your dunny on a Friday night and then playing at the MCG the next. But back to rings yea, na for me.
  2. Feel sorry for Woey. He played really well. Maybe Bowey is sub for a limited return after a long absence?
  3. The five day break will be interesting. It may be negated somewhat by the bye we had. In some ways this game is as big as last week's. Win this and I feel a little smug. A follow up from Petty would be nice with a couple of goals added on. Hopefully Anb and JV can be at their best to combine with an inform Oliver and Max. Can't wait to watch young Windsor again. And some Kozzie brilliance as well. Thanks to all dlanders who got to the game last week and made a lot of noise.
  4. I still hate him though.
  5. Makes sense..... channelling his inner spinner.
  6. Yea me too. And yea I imagine that game drew a lot of energy. Hopefully a very light training run and the fact we had the bye not long ago will help. Stupid fixture.
  7. Aside from his acceleration, he has great upper body strength as well. But it's his ability to make quick decisions and quick execution of plays that excite me. That hanball over the top in the middle without breaking stride to I think it was Tracca who kicked to Frita who goaled... was as good as it gets. No it wasn't a feat of strength or great marking or kicking, it was just a handball. But one made in a second and one where Tracca too didn't have to break stride. How many of those looping handballs do we see get intercepted? Not from this young man.
  8. Was Robbie taller? I noticed that when Caleb flexed up after his goal he looked quite solid. His speed is up their with anyone else about. Let's hope like RF he owns that wing for the next decade and has a continuing stellar career. Be tough for Hunter to get it back. That quick chip kick to Fritta for our first goal was very Flower like. I think I read somewhere once that RF weighed 69 kg in his early career. Could that be right. I know he was whippet like but I remember him as being quite tall and thought he would have weighed about 80. He must of filled out later on Yes I too have some memories of seeing him dash past me while I was a tacker on the fence.
  9. Enjoyed the commentary quip after Caleb's tackle and free and goal... " He's caught in a Windsor knot."
  10. Your right he doesn't. And more to the point, has no need to do it.
  11. Did Fritta kick that goal on the Shane Warne stand side?
  12. Two things in the last few minutes of the game. Tracca really burnt Kozzie kicking to Fritta on the boundary. But then we wouldn't have had goal of the year. And Cameron marks 25 out from goal with two mins on the clock uses his full 30 seconds as if they were in front and then shanks it. Bravo.
  13. I'm in full agreement on this. But I'm sure the footy department knows how to handle such challenges and protect the players as best as possible. Only two more sleeps to go.
  14. Ouch😃
  15. Thanks Deemania. And remind me to never cross swords with you on this website.😃 Although to be completely honest a part of me is glad another game is coming around so soon. Can't wait.
  16. Probably to run over as much wild life as they can too. Not to mention the competition to see who can use the most fossil fuels and take up the most parking space. I saw an F 150 at Woollies the other day and it stuck out over the line by about five feet. They really are trucks.
  17. I think you might be right. I know it started with L. I was thinking loyds but loys does sound familiar. I think there was a depot in Inkerman st never the train bridge . I remember pineapple and passionfruit and thinking how upmarket they were. All delivered to your door. I begged my mom to get some but she said it was a waste of money. Pffft.
  18. Agreed. I wish he had more room up forward to showcase his skills. One on one for his size he's difficult to stop. Roves the ball like a small crumber, flies high and turns on a sixpence with uncanny goal sense. And consistently kicks around fifty or more a year. He seemed to travel a fair way up the ground v cats and looked good.
  19. Can't stretch the minds of their supporters too far George.
  20. That review was a highlight for me. I hope it took some wind out of cats players and supporters. They were so stoked over that goal and it would have been a damn fine one. Funny, I don't usually rejoice in the misfortunes of others. Who am I kidding I love seeing bad stuff happen to Geelong . It completes me.
  21. I don't think I've even seen him do it once. He clearly doesn't watch Melbourne games. What a load of absolute cobblers. I rate Fritta as extremely underated. And that's fine. Let him go under the radar. He's not a large build but the way he times his " lean intos" and the power from them make him seem around the 100 keg mark. In fact he does the opposite to trying to get frees. There was a rubbish non decision when he was taken out of a contest against Geelong and Fritta said Zippo.
  22. They should just save time for the next one and give Max the votes now.
  23. Here you go GEELONG's former Ford factory has been transformed into a hub for innovative housing solutions Probably future retirement home assistant living for cats players.
  24. Why are they still sponsored by Ford? Didn't they throw in the towel when the Gov stopped propping them up? Isn't the Geelong Ford plant gone?
  25. And Jackson puts on a clinic. Turncoat.
