Fritta and Turner

Thanks Ivan, I'm glad someone understands this stuff...I think

That is dangerous. You won't have your membership card at the ready to throw down the players race if we drop an early game. 😁 (I think in Balmeys first year we dropped the first 4 games. I was so angry I went into the rooms after game 4 to give them a spray. I saw Todd and Brett lying on the floor, absolutely shot. They would have needed a stretcher to get to the showers. I didn't say a thing. I felt like an absolute human reproductive organ. Mind you some of the crowd were gobbing off.)

I will take a slightly contrarian view in that in those days there were gun full forwards who regularly kicked bags. They hardly exist these days and there seems to be a larger spread of goal kickers - more players have got better at kicking. This may just be poor memory but it seems harder goals are also being kicked. In terms of improvements I think some of our defensive matchups could be improved, Spargo on Stanley, Viney on the Bont and Bowey standing the mark on a long set shot come to mind.

Brent Guerra pinned both arms and drove him into the Colonial Dome concrete

we still have ben brown (the much taller equivalent of Ricky Jackson - you ken not touch him)

If I buy any more merch I will have to build a pool room.

@rumpole Is Bayley Fritsch your favourite player?

The third quarter still brings a tear to the eye. Has anyone seen a different angle to Frittas first goal in the third? Off the boot it looks like it is going through for a point.

What about picnic baskets, knee rugs and a glass to keep your false teeth in overnight

Surely you jest!!!!!! Have the pies come to that?

Official line is that he was just talking about rotations and that the boys were rested and ready to go (bang, bang, bang...bang)

gee Christian has a big head......

Pick 17.

Yes on the surface it seems to be a most ungracious thing to say. Talk about destroying your own good will. Perhaps he just caught Collingwood culture. Still his injury gave me no joy.

TBH, when I saw the thread title I was half expecting an exposé of sorts

I like that as he had big raps for Kozzie as well.

I remember #10, the win at geelong on Corey Enrights 300th. I remember this for an odd reason - Billy Brownarse banging on about the crowd showing disrespect to Boris by leaving before the final siren. FMD.

I can when I look at my credit card statement....

Are you serious? I must admit though that I have tried to purchase items of a practical nature and not just decorative so I have avoided posters and photos. And being in FNQ many items are very impractical. Then again not sure what I am going to do with 4 caps/t shirts... TBH I feel as if I should make an modest donation to the club.

I remember Roos said Salems kick was never in doubt as he was the best kick at the club.

Not sure how BT got the gig but you do have to cater for a widest audience as possible. That Raving Brian segment he used to do did not appeal to me at all but I am sure there are some out there who liked it....Provided he has a competent caller next to him I can live with it. I dislike James Brayshaw as a 'media personality' but his call of the GF was excellent. Best special comments are Daisy and Leppa. What I dont like is when commentators talk so much they miss the game eg Gawns goal out of the ruck.

TBH I am not sure that Maynard would have fitted in anyway.

Um yeah being in the last 6 or so implies that he is the last of the starting 18 to be picked...don't think so.... Hibbo, TMc, Bowey, even Kossie when gone off the boil surely gets more talk around the selection table.

At last we have an umpires friend.....used to infuriate me when at Norf now loving it....

I watched the last quarter again too. 2 new things stood out. Jackos kick on goal - when it left the boot the pack got ready to contest/spoil then just stopped as it sailed through. The ball gets extra lift at that ground? Adem Yzes head - it is enormous.
