  1. Are you blokes sure about Danny Hughes? The dropkick had disappeared from the VFL in 1980, a few years before he debuted under Ron Barassi, who most certainly would not have permitted anyone to dropkick. ps. Just checked my 1987 Elimination Final tape ... no dropkicks from Hughes or anyone else.

    I think we've all heard this song before. It's by Captain Hindsight and The Monday Experts.
  3. Where did he go?

    If you wanted to be political, it could be Barnaby on one cheek, Tony on the other and Malcolm in the middle.

    Josef Fritzl? If only we still had James Sellar.
  6. I used to know a bloke who sniffed glue (true story) and his nickname was 'Bostik'.
  7. Dunno about you lot, but those ads scared the bejeezus out of me and had a lasting impact. I've never been ten-pin bowling since.
  8. I hereby dub him "Wee Charlie Spargo". There hasn't been one since the days of Georgie Bisset.
  9. Harrison? Petty? Are we trying to re-unite the Travelling Wilburys here?
  10. No room for Sean Wight?
  11. I started following this mob in 1965. I'll take any sort of flag at all; it's the only thing left on my bucket list.

    Like how his first name is an anagram of 'angry'.
  13. I reckon it might be Ben Kennedy.
  14. In 1972 our under 15s footy trip was to Kardinia Park to watch Geelong v Melbourne. Tilbrook was playing full back in the seconds that day and his kickouts were regularly reaching the centre. He kicked it so hard, the BANG! would echo around the still empty ground like a rifle shot. From memory, the seniors had a big win later that day. Sorry, realise this is off topic!
  15. That's a bit premature Norm, the kid's only in his first year as a developing ruckman on our rookie list.
  16. How very MCC-like of you to call players by their number, binman. But what has Weideman got to do with the topic?
  17. Don't think they'd be reading or posting if they've passed.
  18. Are you shore?

    Who or what are we meant to be giving up in this deal?
  20. Errr ... not their own sisters DC! Although it does remind me of the old joke about what basic expectations Tassie parents have for their kids. Things like food, clothing and a roof over their mouth.
  21. G. Lyon and B.Lovett married sisters.
  22. No doubt about the paternity of Watson's new baby. The kid was due around the time of the fourth test but got out early.
