He suffered from back injuries. He went to work on fishing boats in the Gulf of Carpentaria where the beer, wild women and fishing is. He came back the next year and was drafted by the Bullies but only played a handful of games.

R Flower C Oliver Jeff Farmer S May G Hardeman If I were 120 y.o., I expect that I would push the bottom three out with Norm Smith as a player, Barassi, Denis Cordner

Any supporter older than 45 can regard themselves as the kiss of death. Worked out with 1987 and a 10 y.o. age of criminal responsibility.

Pre-Covid the trucks were dumping dirt in the gully west of the Airport Golf club (bastards!) and apparently are again. The N-S runway (i.e. not pointing at the Bummers) is preferred because that is the way that Sydney is. So that one first. The E-W is short because they only use it when there is a strong wind (E-W) which pulls them up nicely when heading into same..

Thanks, I will be putting that one on the shelf for King's Birthday.

Joel Smith - 6 years and 28 games. 6 years because he is the son of a beloved former player; only 28 matches because he is a couple of inches too short for a KPP (like his dad), even though he has a tremendous leap (like his dad), has B- disposal (unlike his slicker team-mates), loses Charlie Cameron and co./leaves the same to go fourth up (unlike Old Man Hibbert who replaced him in the 2022 finals). Fitting him into the firsts should stop being an end in itself. MFC told us that he was recontracted because they saw him as having an enormous up-side. That is the terminology for the Cat B Rookie.

Died a hero pushing his bride onto a passing hotel balcony. Never forgotten.

Missed it by THAT MUCH. That theory popular last year is finally disproved.

My Grandma told that. Then, all her wallpaper fell off.

My Hawks mate would then point out that most ball-ups were around the ground.

It is now time to accept that we won't be getting a ground close by the MCG despite the emotional pull. A council is not going to give us a locally-used ground or open space. The govt is not going to lean on them. Melbourne Airport might give us a long term lease on some land. We could head out to Cranbourne or Wollert. But then we might as well extend the Casey oval 15m on the North and East and stay there.

The story that I was told, was that his nose was out of joint because MFC wouldn't help him study to be a physiotherapist. No idea if its true.

What he said.

Bowey to spend time further up the field tagging where his smarts and immaculate disposal with be toxic to the opposition.

Don't knock Da Boss's negative game-plan. Trainwrecks are so much groovier in slow-motion. Wikipedia reckons that Max King achieved an 97.8 ATAR. He might like being pushed around by Ross. Gives us a couple years to come up with a nickname. Possibly, Max Power (thanks Homer) or Plastic (best keep that to ourselves until he signs).

Good to see the recruiter are on the ball. Seems to be a free hit with little risk.

Exactly. Beveridge's response to a challenge is to have whinge.

"Arbitrate" is a dirty word. WTF happened. And significant penalties to show that we are agin it.

Yes same person. Anglicised name. I see now that he gets a mention on http://demonwiki.org/Damien+Yze with a click through to an Age article.

It would not be all that surprising if the powers that be did not feel entitled to treat someone who looked like them, as they would treat someone who did not look like them. So all up Hodge's comments are irrelevant.

Damien Yze, an inch or so taller, kicked 21 at CHF back up in Northern Victoria.

God almighty, shoot (sic) me now! Hey, JH is Andy Moir's nephew. Maybe that redresses the balance. Joel Smith could be an understudy for Lever as an intercepting third tall back. In the acid test of Charlie Cameron, he gets turned inside out. He deserts his man to go fourth up, tends to give away silly freekicks and 50's. Best to keep Hunt if that is the plan. Hunt with all his speed has only been successful as fourth tallest back, which is adequately covered by Rivers, Hibberd and the next rookie. His disposal has greatly improved but is not elite like many of the others. So if he wants to go, good luck to him and thanks for the third round pick.
