    Jay Viney fairly lucky.

    It did the day Wodjinski (sp) wacked him.
  3. Was that a torp or a flat punt?
  4. I remember George Bissett and Ricky? Spargo often carving up the Dees in the 60s. Sad for FFC that they missed this bloke.
  5. It's one thing to say Lever had a bad game, quite another to conclude he's no good after a handful of games. And why do admins allow players of our club to be called spuds or potatoes anyway. And why do demonlanders continually reference such sledging as OP's, they are not OP's, they are one-fingered typists.
  6. We are about level with the Bailey/Scully/Trengrove renaissance, unfortunately. Probably decided on the last kick with either team missing from directly in front.
  7. We were a good team in the 50's, pity people don't drive Ford Zephyrs any more.
  8. Clarkson coaching Melbourne is just the Messiah complex. Clarkson is just a naughty boy. We absolutely need TMac, Jay Viney, Jack and Todd Viney back on the pitch.
  9. We just don't have the cattle. And if players like Oliver and Petracca do become genuine A graders they will be 'recruited' by Hawthorn or Manchester United. Plus ce change.
  10. Why is Dusty given free reign with his arm-blocking tactics when it is barred as a strategy in ruck contests (Big Maxy). Why doesn't our club, any club - employ some martial arts dude to teach players to grab Dusty's wrist and draw him forward so he loses balance. Really embarassing watching his triple fend off last night. Take away the don't argue and dusty is just another player.
  11. Tinker's cuss
  12. Would have got it on 2nd attempt but for bad interference from Davis. Carlisle's only offence not wearing a hawthorn jumper.
  13. I had these cards once. I haven't been able to purge these rich red, blue colours despite 50 years of towering disappointment.

  15. The Hawks smelt fear when we kept missing easy set shots early - Gawn, ANB, Bugg. Thankfully only a 250k round trip on the Vline bus. Won't make that mistake again, and again ... and again.
  16. Ha ha, so Max Gawn not in the top 8 ruckmen in AFL. Now you have got that published why not move onto other sports and see what other insights you can share. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/tap-and-go-nic-nat-proves-the-afl-ruckman-is-relevant-again-20180411-p4z922.html

    Gary Lyon is an all-time great of the MFC and he can errrr, say what he likes.
  18. We got a call from Clayton Oliver, which prompted an early renewal. All our bling and glitter duly delivered. No complaints.
  19. 1. We are the top Vic. Side 2. We stopped North drawing level on all-time win loss ratio. 3. Bigg can kick straight.
  20. They came into VFL 1924 or '25. Percy Cerutty got them running up sand hills in 1960 and the rest is history.
  21. This is definitely true. anyone who went to the football in the 70s for example could suck in fantastic atmosphere. now it's silent before games and subsequent breaks in the game are saturated with noise from the P.A and ground announcers. Peak Football Cometh.
  22. Driving to Traralgon and got one of those pesky call centre calls. I said who is it and the caller said Clayton Oliver. I told him he was doing a great job doing a membership drive and our family were all dedicated Dees. He said awesome. So my prompt renewal is thanks to his yet again good work in heavy traffic.
  23. I suppose it should be noted that we also have five good "ins" to replace these discards: Tyson, Lever, Pedersen, Garlett and Bernie Vince.
  24. Scully Martin watts Frawley Howe. So sad to let good love go by.
