Old Bear

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

Always feel more confident with McDonald in the side I know he has had better seasons but it’s his straight shooting on goal and experience that I like

Sunshine just before they folded

I had trouble umpiring primary school games while working for the AFL in Southern NSW because of of all the special rules for kids What must it be like for a young person trying to get involved with umpiring with all the different rules at various levels Country umpires must hate the new rules continuing to be pushed on them that are so far removed from the game they grew up with

Loved having Cross at Melbourne I remember him being really tiny playing Rep under 14 Basketball for Albury When I was coaching Wodonga He was undersized but skillful

I’ll get bagged for this but I’ll say it anyway Hated seeing him in a Melbourne Jumper

Oscar doing what Oscar does No composure as a backman Should be tried as a fwd back up ruck but won’t happen

Do remember one preseason no Melbourne or Nth jumpers were available to buy As manufacturers were aware of a possible merger between the two clubs No idea what year it was

Wouldn’t know how to find SEN but I’m old

Great News Best going around and grew up barracking for us

Bone I played a bit of footy with his Sons in Wodonga

Glad someone brought up Jordon Lewis He doesn’t get punished enough for 2018

Thought he looked good seems to be very mature and makes few mistakes

Played against a lot of ex VFL players in my Bush Career But the one who worried me the most was the thought of Greg Parke using my back as a step ladder as I filled the gap at CHB as all good ruckman do Greg was one of my hero’s growing up So as you do I tried to shirtfront at him first opportunity Result Free and Goal to Parky

He wasn’t popular at all with the blokes he did National Service with either He was Lucky that Richmond stopped him going to Vietnam

I might be the only one on here happy about this Im in Darwin that week visiting my son who lives there After missing out on the Alice Springs game the last two years I’m very happy

The Oval at Rye has always been known as the MCG of the bush But as it’s a working class Football club how upset would the silvertails at Sorrento be
