Always tough getting a jab, remember - you may feel a little [censored], so ask your doctor to keep his pants on

just had it done didnt feel a thing ,and yes she kept her pants on

Feeling oddly relaxed today ,going for the jab this morning @10 so that may change at about 9.55

Dont recall my first game ,but do remember my first GF in 1958 got beaten by the filth ,then saw every Gf affter that .WORST game i saw was at waverly ,horrid place to go to(big mistake afl ha ha )against the roys they thrashed us ,we gave up ,so shocking,no joy since then,except a few cameos in the finals

wondering where Saty is these days

Coaches must think very highly of smith ,they put him back in as soon as he is fit enough so it is a team balance thing for them to work out now.Either Hunt or Hibb will be good they know the game plan and structures .For me i prefer hunt for his speed and run and carry

when do the teams get annouced

I thought I saw Vanders in Adelaide? 

He is surely there. Closer to selection than basically everyone in that photo bar Hunty. 

Jones not in it ,hunt is

This is what footy and sport is all about,the dreams that come true,romance and sacrifice.Kicking the winning goal after the siren in a GF,the legendary  warrior loved by all plays that one last game.called upon late to play,nobody knows how it will end but the champ plays,gets  that one last kick .GOAL GO JONESY .The dream comes true

would have a neitz at full forward in this team would kick a ton every year,forward line is crap

What about Jetta, does he get a gig too. I don't think we can afford to be so sentimental. There are a lot of players who'll miss out. Jones got to 300, that's enough. He is gr8 at a lower level where the pace is slower, if he plays it will cost us.

Totally different situation with Nev and jones

Takes awhile for the penny to drop for the big blokes,think you see that in couple years for sam.We all can see he has abilty so must be kept for when tmac goes out.I remember well how geelong supporters bag the hell out of hawkins in his early years ,it just takes time with the big boys

Would love to see him have one last crack at it but alas cant see him getting the chance.Being the great club man that he is i am sure he has already accepted that.But also sure he is ready to go if needed.Total champ

My point exactly. It is a sad world. I did offer my sympathy which is something I don't usually offer to rule breakers. I didn't  mention that given virtually no mobile phone coverage where he was I wonder who called the Medics and CFA. 

I bet Brian will be OK to see the GF live and in person.

wasnt me thats for sure

Does it matter where he was or the reasons for him being there? The bloke is in hospital after being involved in a gas explosion.

Kicked the goal from the boundary against the dorks to secure top spot at the end of r.17 in 1964.

Deserving of praise.

Remember that goal so well.Sliding mark which was a tad doubtful

FM.  Ross Dillon.  Number 24.  He used to live up the road from me. Do you remember the night games at the Lakeside Oval?  I have fond memories of Phil Roden's powerful drop kicks, kicking out from fullback.

 

 

Loved going to the night games at south,shocking conditions ,the toilets used to block up so if you went for a pee you would be standing ankle deep in [censored].Ah those were the days

I was 7 and already a Dees supporter but I can't remember anything about 1964. Who can remember stuff 57 years ago? I have trouble remembering what I did yesterday in these dreary lockdown days. Apparently I was taken to the second semi but not the GF in 1964. My Melbourne memories become a little clearer from about 1966 with Ed Burston and Ross Dillon prominent. Now I look them up and find that Ed only played eight games! But he did kick six goals against Collingwood so maybe that explains my clear memory of him. I was thinking after the Geelong game that I have probably attended around 950 Melbourne games since 1970 and it cuts me to the core that I will be unable to attend the finals this year. May have to consider 14 days quarantine in Perth if that's what it takes!

Big Ed Burston i remember him well wonder why he didnt  become a regular player
