  1. Was that Vic Park game when Choppa and Sean Wight goaled in time on to get up by 9 points?
  2. Perth Prelm was played at WACA from memory, not Subiaco. Hardly any Demons had ever been there. Shafted. And again with Adelaide fiasco in 1998 - League now admits “they got wrong”
  3. Wonder if he ever played in a game umpired by Froggy Thomson? Probably played against Scholes, Bedford, Russell Cooke
  4. 100% Took my own grub to WCE game. Left at 3/4 time for midnight fly to Manila here. Take my own sandwiches/biscuits/fruit to airport now and ate in departure lounge. Also on the flight. Munched homemade Sangers all the way to Ninoy Aquino
  5. Haven’t bought a thing at footy this millennium. Thermos. teabags, sandwiches, fruit and biscuits. No queue, no cost, no time wasted, quality food. Be next thing they ban
  6. Shades of Nev in close
  7. Beautiful classic - thx for that. I did see newer Grabber Blue coupe on Carsales onetime with Demon stickers and Regn MFC- 025. Guess there was a TMac connection
  8. The VicRoads lady offered me a range of numbers. I was assigned 965 but chose 964 in deference to September 64. Demon supporters need other outlets. BTW, can anyone post a pic of his black 67? Any other Mustang lovers here?
  9. Haven’t been able to contemplate footy one week now - until this. Mine provide some relief
  10. Never sure what we can link and not link now. Seems to come from MFC and ABC.
  11. Fritta - first game was v Geelong when Max missed close in then Hunt couldn’t make it on the siren. Kicked the most important goal in 57 years and backed it up 20 seconds later. Now this. Mitch Hanna goal and Max after the siren. Then his best Q in Perth. Some of our best goals v Cats
  12. Working onetime Timor Sea, I flew into Truscott then choppered out to vessel
  13. There was a famous 60s training photo of Alan Aylett, taking a chest mark, jumping forward, “with his boot thrust forward to discourage any oncoming player”. This was in an ANFC skills manual for boys.
  14. Definitely better life. I live on resort, in tropics, on island with twenty something gf.
  15. Sent DM
  16. On the road and backs to the wall. Come from behind win interstate. Doesn’t get any better
  17. Max got crashed in the back clearly having taken a clean mark v Hawthorn. No fifty. Game over by then so even a goal be useless, but Max carries it into next week
  18. Backline options TMac Tomlinson Petty Back Hore Max to drop back Bowey and Turner both injured
  19. Yeah, agree. You’d never want DLs as your brokers
  20. ….Wiz’s 9 Goals and a point in second half v Pies
  21. I love that Salos back in town. How many times, especially pre flag, have I seen a shambolic Melbourne - to be cured by a Salem tackle/block/turnover/sidestep and perfect delivery. Statement play and recalibrates the whole team
  22. And I reckon first Tiger flag, Houli was the one keeping them in it when Adelaide were on. Naturally media favourite Dusty got it.
  23. If not for standout games from Fritta, Trac and maybe Bont could’ve jagged the Norm Smith. Players have done less in GF and got one.
  24. My son was born Mercy Maternity, Clarendon Street, East Melbourne. 07:59 am on birth records. Obligatory, wash, hold, handball return to maternity nurse. Walk for break/clear head etc etc couple hundred metres to MCC office. Registered on waiting list before 10.00am
  25. Grew up out east and Hawks had a following. There’s colour photo of me wearing Hawthorn jumper early 60s. March 1965 and we’re in town, MSD (Melbourne Sports Depot) Elizabeth Street. Mum had canny eye for bargain, nodded towards a promotional basket of guernseys at 10/6d, saying, “Radar needs new footy jumper”. Guess which one fit. The rest is history. At least I came on board at dawn of our darkest era. Younger brother remains a Hawk. He can’t quite remember all the Premierships he’s seen. The only happy fact out of all this is I was one size too small for the StKilda jumper.
