May looks like a midget standing beside those two giants!

And, don't forget the born leader! "Follow me!", he says. "I'll be right behind you!"

Robert Foster would beg to differ! (LOL)

And, let's not forget his mark on the boundary at the end of the Round 1 clash against Geelong this year, and the neat centering kick to big Max 20 metres out, straight in front, giving us the chance of snatching a win. (Pity Maxy kinda spoiled the moment!)

Agreed, Nasher. Really said it all when Pedo was camped half way up the race to greet the boys coming off the ground after the Finals win over the cats a coupla weeks back. Seems like a genuine club man. Glad he has been part of the MFC these past few years. While not a star, he has been a very useful foot soldier.

Well, they do say that people marry their opposites! Certainly couldn't be any truer in this instance! After all, if there was ever a total opposite of "The Melbourne Footy Club, the greatest football club in the world", it would certainly be Collingwood!!

One of the true characters of the game! Very please he played 100 games for us. Really hope he sticks around in some capacity. Well done, and thanks, Bernie!

Was nice to see Jonesy give Jarrod a special mention on TV just prior to the coin toss yesterday, recognising him as a passionate Dees supporter and what he is going through. No doubt it warmed Jarrod's heart just a tad to then see the boys play so well...

What's so unusual about that? That's why we have been losing all our games recently -- d'fence is nowhere to be seen!!

So, if we don't have the footy success we all crave this year, maybe we can pull out of the AFL, and join the NBL instead!

Oops!! Too late...!!

LOL. Tastes good to my poor, old palate, and the price is right. What more can I say...?!

...and definitely not the "full quid"...!

Sorry, DV. I don't mean to be difficult. But, every time someone has a go at Collingwood's alternate jumper I have to shake my head. As much as I hate that team, the fact is their traditional jumper is predominantly BLACK, while their alternate is predominantly WHITE, and works perfectly well as a clash jumper... And, as Essendon now have a predominantly red clash jumper, we really have no grounds for having a go at them any longer, either. And, finally, as ours is now red & blue, kinda think the old clash jumper argument that raises its head every year is pretty much a non-subject this year... Yeah. I know. Off subject! Sorry guys! Back on subject, I like the 160 Yr jumper! (But, as stated earlier in this thread, my $300 will be going towards 10 bottles of 1495 Scotch. (Yep, I know I'm a cheapskate on BOTH fronts! LOL)

TEN bottles of 1495 whisky!! (I'll drink to the nice jumper...! LOL)

The irony is that now, with this guy on our list, some of the "petty" comments on this site might be serious! LOL

Today's winner of the best Friday Funny -- by a country mile! Love it CB!

That name doesn't ring any bells, Earl. (But, early stage "Old Timer's Disease" may be setting in, so who knows? LOL)

It certainly was a "unique" look...!! Great (and funny) memories! Those were the days!

Yeah, they weren't on the panel. Must have been radio. But, Doug Bigelow is another one who was on that panel. Also remember eagerly waiting for each week's edition of "Footy Week", which Harry pioneered. If I remember correctly, it was distributed via a Supermarket chain. Harry was certainly a "larger than life" figure, and huge in footy back in the 60's. His demise was very sad.

Sad to hear it. Well I remember the day when Harry reigned supreme over the ABC TV Footy Panel. Was joined by the likes of "Chicken" Smallhorn, Tony Ongarello, Doug Heywood and a few other notables whose names escape me at the moment. RIP, Harry!

I'm convinced!

Maybe Glenn read your post and plagiarised it!

Two of our three Father-Son lads are going very nicely at the moment. And, from all reports, sounds like the third (young Smithy) is also showing some early signs of blossoming over time. Nice to see!

Hmm. Putting doubts into an old, senile mind, now JJC! LOL I must admit I reckon I recall Danny using the drop kick on frequent occasions. But, I could be wrong. Can anyone (with a little clearer memory) help us out?
