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.

Definitely better life. I live on resort, in tropics, on island with twenty something gf.

On the road and backs to the wall. Come from behind win interstate. Doesn’t get any better

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

Backline options TMac Tomlinson Petty Back Hore Max to drop back Bowey and Turner both injured

Yeah, agree. You’d never want DLs as your brokers

….Wiz’s 9 Goals and a point in second half v Pies

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

And I reckon first Tiger flag, Houli was the one keeping them in it when Adelaide were on. Naturally media favourite Dusty got it.

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.

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

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.

Looking more like a rugby jumper

Freo #9 pick (2019) wants out. What goes around comes around. Liam Henry - don’t recall the kid taking control of any quarter of a big final.

Statement

That’s no advantage

Can someone please refresh my memory on how MFC were screwed in 1998 finals series after beating Crows by 10 goals in MCG final? AFL later admitted they got our “seeding” wrong - MFC should’ve had easier opponent/no interstate travel or something. Couldn’t believe it at the time. Don’t feel sorry for Crows.

Agree with a lot of OP post but what goes around comes around for Adelaide - Leigh Colbert mark MFC wrongfully handicapped after thrashing them in 98 Final - AFL later admitted they wronged us.

All fun, but the only award I care about is Max being called “dual…

Sparrow made a mistake in a game of footy. Key player in Bang. Bang. Bang! Best 90 seconds of footy I’ve seen in 59 years. Some forget quickly.

All year in fact - their game plan like a rocket, slow to get going, looks fantastic and good to watch when it does. Ultimately crashes and burns. Wont stand up against a team with structure. KB - didn’t score for over an hour

You are speaking about 2021 Premiership players

All this while Shane Tuck (RIP) inquest is occurring and the recent CTE disclosure about the Adelaide AFLW player who took her life.
