  1. I think Shmekel's girlfriend is a microscopist.
  2. If they're not all in it'll only be because they are injured. Definite best 22 now. Miller is battling for a position with Holland, not Dunn.
  3. Percy Beames has to be in the list - BOG in each of the 39, 40 and 41 GFs, and was first player to play 200+ games for MFC. To put it in perspective imagine if Brock McLean wins 3 Norm Smith Medals in consecutive flag years ... Allan LaFontaine and Jimmy Stynes both won 4 B&Fs.
  4. That's very true and on show in the reel. A couple of times he works space on the boundary line where there just was none. I think he hypnotised the opposition. Robert Harvey is another that has had a similar ability. Another great player he could be favourably compared with is Peter Daicos.
  5. Thanks to Ash30 and Mark, the DVD is fantastic. For all his great attributes one thing that stood out is that Flower was amazingly strong overhead and retained this ability right through his career. When Steven Febey started he was a strong mark (nothing like Robbie) but from about 3-4 years into his career he never took any overhead marks at all. The other thing is that it is hard to tell on the tape which is Robbie's preferred foot - outstanding on both sides.
  6. hi mark, Thx for doing the DVD. where's your shop?
  7. I often agree with you bjgc but not this time ... I think Bucks is a superstar and the fact that he plays in B&W causes other teams supporters to downgrade him. If he played for MFC there would be unrivalled adoration on the pages about his virtues. He is right up there with Voss and Hird IMO. If we could get any one player to MFC it would be J.Brown for me with Tredrea the other possible challenger mainly because he has had less injuries. Judd is a super player but I am old-fashioned and value a great CHF ahead of all other players. Leppitsch was a very good player now crippled by injury. Triple premiership CHB, they don't grow on trees.
  8. I didn't get the impression that they were "coming back" Freak. AT the MIN the message from ND was they were still lingering and had to be managed, I more got the impression that they never completely went away.
