Old Bear

Watching him closely last few weeks I think he’s going to be someone Special in the future He has his own way of going about the game and continues to surprise each week as his confidence grows

Played a few half time games there in under 13 during the the VFAs great days in the 60s Even got on the TV once I agree that a once great club is being reduced to a gap filler role in this stupid version of VFL

Almost feel sorry for him on the Sunday Footy show Just a Mr Bean type character along side some reasonably good explayers Trying very hard to be relevant

Pretty sure most GWS memberships are freebies This was the case when I worked for them on the Far South Coast of NSW

Juice kicked 12 for Wangaratta two weeks ago The Big one that got away

Better than BT

Watching him up close at Wonthaggi last week his athleticism was amazing If he could stay healthy his up side is unlimited

Tommo did an impersonation of Oscar McDonald at his worst today Though Oscar never didn’t try hard thought Tommo looked disinterested often

If you played a good game in the u/17 in suburban footy you might even get a mention in the Sporting Globe Only happened to me once but still remember it 50 years on

And if you have ever lived in parts of Cranebourne You wouldn’t be feeling to superior about people from Broadmeadows Bomber Suppoerters an Exception They all need to be sentenced to spending a week in the presence of Kevin Sheedy a cruel and unfair punishment

I’ve run Auskick programs in Wodonga and STH Coast NSW under the AFLs heavy hand The AFL have taken Junior Development at this level away from local clubs and introduced strange rules that most Fathers fined hard to get their heads around So foreign to the game they once played Im not a fan of Auskick or how it’s run even though I loved being paid to coach kids I may be 68 and didn’t start playing until I was 11 and the coaching Received early wasn’t great but Auskick isn’t the answer either

Had disagreements with you in the past dazzel but couldn’t agree more Flags are always very special at any level

Don’t have a choice need someone with a brain 🧠

Their island would be beautiful beyond your wildest dreams unfortunately Between them and their relatives they have more dough than than many a small nation

My Dad if he was still alive could make them some stops out of three pieces of leather I nearly didn’t get to Captain my u/15 Premiership because he left a few nails sticking out Umpires never missed them in the sixties

That’s exactly how I felt about us recruiting that Hawthorn [censored] and haven’t bought a membership since But seems everyone on here loves him

Sorry meant to say do not use App Glad you worked it out

Do use the App go to AFL on line is the only way it works for me

Won a flag at Norwood SA and kicked plenty too Got rid of him too soon as we do with many

Been bitten by both My fault for being both a Ranger and a Youth Worker At different times of course

I know it’s been tried before but not for long Play him at CHB for a heap of games at Casey What have we got to lose It is starting to look like he will never make it as a forward And he may gain some confidence

Talking about Essendon not about Ruckmen Although I really respect Ryder I often think that club has a Sheedy Curse just as big if not bigger than the Curse of Norm Smith Sheedy stayed much too long and his win at all cost attitude poisoned the Club Which resulted in the need to try to cheat to achieve success

That’s not old Old is when you remember John Peck and Graeme Arthur

Yep I’ve got a whole 4 bucks on him at 15/1 Not holding my breath but believe he deserves it

Skilton was pretty good Didnt have much to work with Think the players loved him Ditterich gave his all Crashed and bashed and led from the front Northey was my favourite Loved his passion I was Lucky to start going to games in 62 So Smithy obviously the best Beckwith a gentleman and Great of the club
