Fritta and Turner

Flat, I remember running down to the boundary line and yelling 'oi, the game actually started 15 minutes ago'

On a similar vein, best mate grabs his footy travel bag for a spruce up the day before round 1. Inside was a paper bag containing 2 dim sims.

Anything happened yet?

Can I just say that in Qld the trade period starts at 8.00am and I am ready and in position.

Did you go to that game too? I used to dread the last quarter against the Tigers, Rolls Royce would kill us. I have lots of memories of the strange, quirky and down right unpleasant events that happened outside of the playing of the game. 1. My nanna had a friend (extended irish catholic family) who worked as a Corps of Commissioner on the gate at the MCC. My nanna, 3 of her cronies and 5 grand children would gain entry using 2 ladies tickets. 2. Early in the first quarter Uncle Graeme threw his record down into the aisle in disgust, whereupon a young kid grabbed it and ran off. 3. It was so wet at Artic Park that I watched the game through a moth hole in my beanie. 4. As a young kid, at a packed out game, I stood up in an exciting moment for a better view. When I went to sit back down someone else was sitting in my seat. (weird sensation that) 5. Hot donuts - who doesnt have a story about them. After the game I purchased 6 hot jam donuts, placed them in my coat pocket with some effort, and headed to Richmond station. On the train (blue harris?) I pulled one out, took a bite, whereupon half a gallon of scalding jam shot out over my face and chin and down my hands. I stood there whimpering, covered in jam, trying to reach my hanky which was under the bag of donuts. Losing the car at Artic park, losing Father in the car park after a night game at the MCG, what DID happen to Aunty Jess and the very drunk blind man will have to wait for another day.

Stengles 50 goals made a massive difference

oops for got Brayshaw.....Oliver is incredibly strong but doesnt crash, Tracc big body but doesnt use it to hurt, Viney small, Gawn tall and lean but doesnt crash, Harmes is ok....

Too small bodied and slow....

Swans are pathetic

Disgrace - call for a Royal Commission

Can anyone sing in tune?

Cats by 6 goals. Mind you I have under rated the Swans for the lst 10 years.

Hope it had a fire place. If not it does know? I Hit the turps early to settle the nerves

Ah there is your problem, only 1 coffee.

John?

Shaun Burgoyne didnt mention anything in his book (found it remaindered for $2)

What are the selection criteria for an award like that?

For the sake of the health of the list I hope so

What have you been smoking?

I wore nos 8. Sat in the front row, top deck old Olympic stand up against the MCC fence. All I can really remember is jumping up with relief when the siren went.

You are extremely very generous....I have been called many things over the years bat rarely that... Have I mentionned before that the local milk bar refused to make me a milkshake (not melksham) because i would take all their milk?

I was going to ask who Sco Dinger played for but then realised he hasnt.....yet Some of those yet to debut from Casey fit this classification. Reminds me of the German High Seas Fleet Sorry...

Were you there too? What a MFC defining moment ; Where were you when Lethal dropped Smith..... I think I may have gone berserk coz a couple of years later a stranger asked me 'Were you there when.....'

Clarrie is better but Lachie plays a more eye catching game

I am a mature aged senior so I will be definitely booing. That said though it will be in the context of the first game against MFC. (And when I watch the GF replay I will be cheering. Luke is a hero)
