Fritta and Turner

They showed some pace running onto the ground after the GF siren.

One of the commentators said that Fritta was the best footballer to wear #31 since Ron. Another said 'What about Ray Groom?'. Well here is a list of players who have worn 31, courtesy of Demonwiki. At one stage it looks like we tried to demystify the #31. Ray Groom - 92 games, 36 goals. B&F 1968. Missed 1964 with a hammie. Most successful politician to wear Red&Blue? Billy Barham - Rickys brother Paul Goss - Norms brother Peter Garratt - no not that one Phil Carman Kelvin Templeton - averaged 3 goals a game at the Dees but didn't bring ultimate success. Rod Keogh - Trevors nephew. More success at St Kilda. Played in the 1997 GF. Donald Cockatoo-Collins - Che and Davids brother. Paul Wheatley - famous for kicking the first super goal. Un realised potential? Tom Scully - the less said the better. He can 'gut run' into obscurity. Jack Grimes Bayley Fritsch - premiership player who averages 6 goals in a GF. To me it is Fritta vs Groom (vs Templeton). Does anyone remember Groom playing? All I can remember is that he collided with a goal post. Certainly none of the above can beat Bayleys medal.

Why on earth would we want a 29 year old? We are not coming up to a premiership window, we have smashed the door down and grabbed the cup. Our goal to goal line is starting to look old. Lets pick someone with youth and exuberance, which is what won us the cup. St Kilda perhaps...

I know where I sit on Sparrow, absolute fan. 2nd and 3rd efforts are great. Sparrows kick to Fritta for his first probably would have gone through for a goal. Agree there were other options other than his long bomb but as ND said 'You can break team rules provided it comes off'.

What about Mahal?

Live stream please

Gee Libba played a crap game.

Always thought that having a player who can kick a very long goal is worth persevering with. Can change the momentum of the game with one kick. One of my favourites.

I had a friend with the surname of Bullen and they told me it derives from (Anne) Boleyn. ANB is MFC royalty and doesn't lose his head.

This reminds me of the story of the old empty barn. There was nothing in it.

Still a kid. He looks like he has been told to report to the headmasters office when whatever he has attempted hasnt come off.

MFC entry for Dancing with the Stars. Great balance, superb leap and lightening quick on his feet.

The team with a young and up and coming mid field will be the ones to watch. Not sure how the Blues players will take to Voss. Essendon?

Made for each other those 2. I remember Danny and Brian were having a traditional wrestle on the ground and Rodney G ran in and tried to break it up by pulling on Brians jock strap. Brian did not like it........

Do not lose heart. I received my first batch about a week ago.

When does his current contract expire?

Nice try but I think the family might still be expecting presents...

Is James Jordon a free agent already?

Or Richie Benaud - there is a seagull standing in the goal square at the city road end. Marvelous that.

I am amazed by his awareness of opponents and the play. It is a very rare event when he is tackled and didn't know it was coming.

Brett Heady (92) and Dean Kemp (119) in the days when WCE told their future prospects to keep a low profile.

Um I am not talking about stopping training....I am talking about having a holiday. Different environment, relaxed but keeping fit. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Admittedly covid makes that hard. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Brisbane bears had many smokeys....

and tell me, why do I need to remember that? He hit someone? Potential trivia question? (sorry for the attitude but both my sisters have rung me twice already today. They are up to something....I am on edge)
