  1. How very true - presence of mind which was a game changer.
  2. If you don't like BT turn down the sound on your device, it's just theatre nothing more. We are lucky to have free games, you can also go to kayo.
  3. As a second post-script I don't suppose anyone here remembers BT on 3UZ with a character called 'Rocky' - this was BT on training wheels - truly humble and not prone to hyperbole or over-statement.
  4. Where were you guys when fellow grandstanders Sandy Roberts, Peter Landy and Michael Williamson big-noted themselves through the long seasons of black and white telly? The mighty BT is streets ahead. Television has to appeal to a broader demographic, not just 'centre-clearance analysts'. PS Bush Demon goes Bang, bang, bang, bang.
  5. Hope you will go for a threepeat, with Gawny being 'hoisted' up ten and twenty years hence...
  6. Greg Parke's FIRST game v Collingwood is on YouTube, he takes some big overhead marks and they say he is going yo be a good player.
  7. PS I'm not arguing against this and other decision just re-stating the general premise that umpiring is going to be 'minimalist' on this day kind of like a Tom Wills game in the park.
  8. So why was Maxy's push-out quickly paid earlier in the game? Because it was in the backline?
  9. West Coast's last 'goal' from the 2018 GF has stayed with me since their premiership win of that year. How can blatant push-outs not be penalised. And that's because it's a grand final, where umpires by traditional custom don't get involved on the last day. We saw it again this year with Johannisen's double-handed 'speccy' plus plenty of others. It just goes to show that our code is basically ungovernable so you can put the whistle away.
  10. I'd like to add Brad Miller. Not a superstar but he always gave 110%
  11. Who would that be, and what premiership year?
  12. Knocks back S.A offers. Fantastic turnaround from our earlier days when one of the Jarmans refused to play for Melbourne.
  13. What is your favourite 'wine' before we won this year's flag? From my cellar would include: 1. A '65 Barassi 2. An 80s G Healey . 3. A 2010s Chip Frawley 4. A 1980s Michael Byrne 5. A '75 Crackers/Alves.
  14. I think Alves had a falling out with Skilton, someone can correct me on that.
  15. Well I'm pleased to hear that. Alves was my hero 'in the day'.
  16. Have seen no reportage of these two since GF. Crackers always talked the Dees down in favour of his beloved North. Stan never really showed the love of the red and blue either, after spending most of his career as a champion in a losing side. Stan's first three games in 1965 had been in the Dees' (very briefly) undefeated premiership team.
  17. We absolutely couldn't handle WCE switching the ball across the ground. They had perfected a keepings off game and we couldn't touch the ball that day.
  18. Will be v interesting to watch 'young turks' Petty and Tomlinson competing for spots with Lever and May over next couple of years.
  19. Clayton Oliver jumper bid now = $6,350!
