  1. The goal and 50 m against Lever didn’t matter, since it was too late for us to get 2 more goals at that point. BUT…… I don’t think it was a correct decision, because…….. when Lever put the ball on the ground he was being tackled, but where? Below the knees.. i.e. a trip. I think that’s why he did his block. If Pickett hadn’t missed that gimme a few minutes earlier, I reckon we’d have won. We were coming back strongly, despite all the posts about our lack of fitness at the end.
  2. Don’t boo Zorko! It’ll just fire him up, and he’s a dangerous player. Spread the word…..DON’T boo Zorko.
  3. Lobb is 1 or2 cm. shorter than Gawny, but lacks the heart…..badly. Too timid to play ruck.A bit slow up forward. Can mark, but doesn’t often . Good set shot for goal though. If we lose Jackson to Freo, get Meek back to Melbourne ( Lobb should be called “Meek”!) as the proverbial “steak knives” in a trade deal.
  4. Oh no! Let’s not help Collingwood with their sal. cap problems. Grundy is a star….. but 29 ,and under an injury cloud.
  5. I don’t want that gutless 209 cm weakling at Melbourne( Lobb)
  6. Luke Dunstan is a good class AFL standard player. How long can he tolerate playing at the lower standard? I can’t see him breaking into the firsts, unless we have several injuries.I GWS or Suns should try to attract him and swap us one of their high draft picks.
  7. Great work with the Podcasts, gents. 2 points.... 1. You said about 70 people listen live. Do you know how many listen later, to the podcasts? I would think many more. Apart from the pre-GF show last season, I never listen live, but never miss the podcast. I admire your insight into tactics etc very much, but , like Andy, I suffer severely from chronic,metastatic, MFCSS. 2. I can hear Andy clearly, but the other two are much quieter, and when listening to the podcast while out running, I have trouble hearing them, even at full volume. I can hear callers who ring in easily,but "Binman" in particular, is very quiet.
  8. I’ll never forget Sean Wight and Rob Flower’s efforts that day! I think Sydney had kicked 30 goals in a match 2 or 3 times that year. We were massive underdogs and absolutely killed ‘em!
  9. " Dead Kennedys" was a slightly irreverent name, I always thought!
  10. He evoked memories of Rob Flower for me. His build, and his ball handling.
  11. I hope Dees supporters don't boo Cripps(though the system does deserve booing). Booing just encourages players. Don't let's help fire him up.
  12. At the start of the session the players gathered in a circle in the centre , and clapped and cheered someone.They often do this when a debut is announced. Perhaps it was Laurie. It wasn't Van R.
  13. Grundy has chronic back trouble. Leave Collingwood with the problem.
  14. Let us not forget… their last 2 goals came from dubious 50:50 frees
  15. Ashcroft is Johnnie Townsend’s great nephew, I think.
  16. I'm not normally a sesquipedalian, but I am a triskaidekaphobe,and that's one reason why I was so happy about our win over Freo.
  17. What about...."between you and I" etc. And..........He said it to "you and I" . It's becoming so commonplace to misuse the first person pronoun, that I fear it will become acceptable grammar.
  18. I think the word “ definitely” loses all its impact when spelt “ definately”. Have others noticed this?
  19. I’ve been led to believe that McMahon was the only player on the Richmond list not to get a game the next season. ? ????Punishment
  20. If we’d had umpiring in Adelaide like Collingwood did today, we’d have won by 80 points.
