Fritta and Turner

Jackos mum won't like that

Anything to oblige a fan. Whats jeffos height, weight and how tall is he? Do you think he looks taller in imperial or metric measurements?

My premiership mug gives me a smile everytime I look at it.

Hope it isnt just a case of a mature body in an under age comp?

24 goals is some bragging rights. Didnt frittas brother kick 20?

How many goals do we think Jeffo will kick in the last quarter of the GF?

Nothing changes. I was so nervous in the last had to turn it off. Well done Dees.

Apparently my membership pack has been shipped.

Does this mean I have to do 33% more booing? At my age I dont think I have the puff.

You will have to try harder, you got it right.

I'm warming to it, slightly....

when in Austria I reckon tbh I prefer chocolate cake

So every team has a premiership window? Or rather the club will be at its peak in the year range specified, which may lift one or two clubs to ninth...

Mug punter here - any tips for the cup?

What alternative universe are you in?

My mouth is watering. ( In berlin for the first and only time, put our cases in our room, walked down the street and into the first cafe we could find. Me : Excuse me is there any German food on the menu? Waiter : No sir, this is an italian restaurant.) Does anyone know what Trac is actually doing?

I would love to have seen Jimi hendrix

With talk of Harvey and Hayes and Goddard joining the team.....I dont think that is a good idea. (You fellas are hopeless but we were champs)

I wonder what happened to my Slade LPs

Is there anyone out there called Farris (sic) Fawcett because they should be able to kick majors.

The part of the book I liked the most was his early days at Richmond. Unsophisticated footy - kick it in the direction of the goals.

Well many of us have seen the 'movie' and now you can read the book. (Written by Anson Cameron) I am not an avid reader of sports biography but I can say that the early years before they are famous are much more informative and interesting than the years after. Perhaps the discipline required to be a champ in a team environment tones down the experiences and the stories. (Shaun Burgoynes - Silk - $2Kmart - was somewhat dull when describing his time at Hawthorn and boy did he miss something). In terms of his time at the Dees the story is coloured by the merger talks and the coming of Joe Gutnick, who, Balmey says knew nothing about football and wasnt heard of before or after his chairmanship. (Shades of 'Black Arthur' in Sunday too Far Away). Neil also says that when he looked at the members of the coteries he didnt understand why the club was broke. As a player we all remember the hits, especially Geoff Southby, Blues fans still boo, and in another medium he has expressed some remorse in that he thought it was Vin Waite. This behaviour is a contradiction in that he comes across as a kind, loyal, caring man, who looked out for everybody at the club, and typically was the last to leave a function to ensure everyone was looked after and got away ok. These traits were put to good use in his role as Football Manager. So how do we explain the violence, which apparently was not part of his game before Richmond. Neil was extremely competitive, the type who would knock the board over if losing against the kids; his support and caring for his team mates went to the extreme of violence, and in those days thats how the game was played and some one in the team had to do it. I will leave the rest up to you. Worth a look. (ps I mentionned Patrick White in another thread but I think I got away with it)

So its all my fault? 😛

Can you get your mind out of the um canal? 😛 If I was in AmDam I would have chosen NightWatch but perhaps clog would be closer to the mark.

It is with a mixture of despondency and embarrasment that I have to confess that my username is my first name and the initial of my second. I was going to use Nowcmonthemightydemons but at my age it is best to use something I can effn remember. And luckily I still remember my name. (Pres. Reagan visiting a nursing home goes up to one of the residents and says 'Do you know who I am?'. The resident replies 'No, but if you go to reception they will be able to tell you'.)
