  1. That's also my recollection, DD.
  2. Thanks dazzler, never knew Goody had a cricket background. I looked it up and he was co-captain (not a recent concept, then!) of South Australia's Under 19 team, but it would appear that footy took over from that point so I'm not sure how much attention he attracted from the Australian selectors as he never played 1st class cricket. Clearly, he was one of those kids who was just really good at sports of all kinds. Reckon we all went to school with one of those!
  3. They started selling Emu Bitter!
  4. I hope Rance doesn't join the Hell's Angels. Then he'd knock on your door and tell YOU to go away.
  5. Personally, I try to leave no turn unstoned. Happy Birthday to Keith BTW, a young 76 today and doesn't look a day over 90.
  6. Thought you may have been referring to Pork Hunt.
  7. Had your prostate checked recently?
  8. Posters still spell his name incorrectly.
  9. During the season, this site is always much busier after a loss.
  10. He also told MFC to come forth, but they came fifth and missed the double chance.
  11. Unless you're at a night club or pub, in which case beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.
  12. Spot on, poita. It's also important to remember that any food fills up valuable beer space in your stomach.
  13. Think that might be a noun rather than an adjective, but your point remains. Kudos Biff!
  14. Because people mistakenly thought it was the start of a new millennium because it was the year 2000. You're still making the same mistake. I'll dumb it down for you. The first decade is years 1 to 10. The second decade is years 11 to 20. The third decade is years 21 to 30. The first century is years 1 to 100. The second century is years 101 to 200. And so forth. The first millennium is years 1 to 1000. The second millennium is years 1001 to 2000. Etc, etc. There is no year zero. The first year is year one. The hundredth year is year 100. The thousand year is year 1000. If you still have doubt, Google it.
  15. 2000 was the last year of the previous millennium. It was the 2000th year. The new millennium started in 2001. Why do you think Federation occurred on 1st January 1901? Think of it like your birthday. You don't turn 21 (for example) until the end of your 21st year, or year 21. You then commence year 22, your 22nd year, at the end of which you will turn 22. 2021 will be the start of a new decade.
  16. That was how Nigel Smart earned the nickname "Notso" wasn't it?
  17. Take a punt and spend a punt you reckon?
  18. Rick O'Shea would provide some rebound.
  19. I herd James Hird say the same thing.
  20. Only played 84 games with us, but did win a Best & Fairest so I imagine that would also qualify.
  21. Because of his ENORMOUS appetite.
  22. Sounds right to me. I think somebody posted that Mitch Brown was in Bull Smith's old 38.
  23. I don't know where to begin ...
