But I thought everyone recognized and appreciated my achievements.

When I was Team Manager of the MFC in 79, I was warned about the Vic Park Visitors' race and the cretons who threw cups of urine and spat on visiting teams and officials. Heeding that advice, I ran up and down the race as I entered and left the ground and never stood in, or near the race, thereby denying them an easy target. Disgusting really.

And that is with me and others on his back.

I must have got the wrong paper, as I can't see my name in the honours list.

I know other things are needed, but my post was that List Management/Recruiting is the most important aspect. You need the socks before you can pull them up.

Our 2 greatest players. Still sadly miss Robbie.

I usually agree with you and again we share the same thoughts. He has to be behind Hunt and for that matter Tyson, Bugg and probably Billy and JKH and they are all not certainties to be with us next year.

Maybe he could order that we win the flag under threat of trade sanctions. For that matter a three peat.

Maybe he is hoping they won’t be that upset if he leaves after a poor year, combined with a good AFL engineered compensation package. If GC matches any offer, he has to be traded or go to the draft. That could force a super deal for GC, where they get multiple players and good picks. GC could win out of this if they are smart. It of course remains to be seen if they can.

Hard to argue that List management/Recruiting isn’t the most important part of an AFL club.

They have a soft run home.

If that doesn't lift you to play out of your skin nothing will.

That’s what I said when I first wrote my rhyme, Our ex cricket captain’s namesake has earned his time.

See, I knew you could leave the toilet humour and give some good advice.

Shame on you, we are not quitters.

Is.

Look at my post again, not what you quoted. You also have permission to stay around as one of our most beloved sages.

Roses are red and loved by the beaver, Guess which Dees father/son is replacing Jake Lever.

Can we leave all the toilet humour, it is starting to p-ss me off.

But that’s the point, I don’t think he was the right pick at the time . I recall he was injured when we drafted him and he never showed anything over here. He was rather short and dumpy and was supposed to be an outside mid but was slow. His skills were poor also. I think whether or not we got Ollie he was a poor pick. The main point of my post is that at pick 4 you should be able to pick a player not a dud.

That could be true, but the fact is that whether or not we got Ollie, we totally wasted pick 4 when we could have and should have got another good footballer.

I know I should have gotten over it by now, but every time I see Ollie Wines, I think of Toumpas and want to vomit and cry. I know Toumpas is no Ollie, but he wasn’t even an AFL standard player and taken at 4. Just sad. A terrible wasted opportunity.

Clubs nearly always play players against their old side.

Indigenous version.
