Old Bear

Saw him play in most home games from 1962 till 1965 I believe that he possibly wasn’t a great High Mark But certainly was almost never Out marked by an opponent one on one

Wish we could get Moyle out of Goldcoast as Gawns apprentice He looks like a young version of the Chief from the movie One Flew over the Cookoo Nest

I’ve been watching Demons since 1962 Worst Quarter of football I can remember

Injured ankle operation

What annoys me most about Papley is he was a Casey development player and we let him slip Anyone seeing him play underage footy at Bunyip could see he was going to make the big time Plus Grandson of a legend

Yep an Bumbers wooden spoon would be magnificent And Sheedy should have to receive it so he could make a speech all about himself

I worked for AFL NSW for a while on the Far Sth Coast A lot of GWS memberships were freebies Doubt they have many full paying members or even pay on the day followers

He presented me with my first Football trophy when I was 13 He was only 16 himself and Carlton was using him as a Club ambassador before he had even played a game

My father always said to me as we watched the Demons from the wing on the MCG in the sixties That Brian Dixon is never beaten one on one and is a great mark for his size Xavier is the closest I’ve seen since those days

First year at Casey he was outstanding Next year at Melbourne he won the Rising Star Award I think ?

My answer would be the same Opposition Coach may know our game plan Not many of our players do

If you have ever stood near him you would realise he has the build of an under developed basketball player Probably one of those people who won’t muscle up until 30 plus all too late

A lot of knowledgeable people think ruck work is overrated Appearances and often stats do indicate this but I think it’s because most teams have very competitive ruckmen and there is a lot of brake even contests Play with a non competitive ruckmen and see how quickly things change like we did for two games last season

Always thought we should have tried him fwd before letting him go Bet no one believes me
