  1. And I reckon first Tiger flag, Houli was the one keeping them in it when Adelaide were on. Naturally media favourite Dusty got it.
  2. If not for standout games from Fritta, Trac and maybe Bont couldā€™ve jagged the Norm Smith. Players have done less in GF and got one.
  3. 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
  4. Grew up out east and Hawks had a following. Thereā€™s colour photo of me wearing Hawthorn jumper early 60s. March 1965 and weā€™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, ā€œRadar needs new footy jumperā€. 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 canā€™t quite remember all the Premierships heā€™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
  6. Freo #9 pick (2019) wants out. What goes around comes around. Liam Henry - donā€™t recall the kid taking control of any quarter of a big final.

    Thatā€™s no advantage
  9. 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 ā€œseedingā€ wrong - MFC shouldā€™ve had easier opponent/no interstate travel or something. Couldnā€™t believe it at the time. Donā€™t feel sorry for Crows.
  10. 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.
  11. All fun, but the only award I care about is Max being called ā€œdualā€¦

    Sparrow made a mistake in a game of footy. Key player in Bang. Bang. Bang! Best 90 seconds of footy Iā€™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 - didnā€™t score for over an hour
  15. You are speaking about 2021 Premiership players
  16. All this while Shane Tuck (RIP) inquest is occurring and the recent CTE disclosure about the Adelaide AFLW player who took her life.
  17. Can you post a few? They had 15 Premiership players.
  18. I waited for rain to stop after game; thirty mins later heā€™s running the boundary with a trainer

    All good. Premierships are won in September
  20. radar replied to WERRIDEE's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Iā€™m hoping if weā€™re in the GF itā€™ll be on the back of a huge Roo September
  21. R24 - Beat Swans and get Port over there. ā€œManageā€ a few and its a home final.

    Home final :)

    Isnā€™t our preference Week 1 at MCG?
  24. Ray Groom was also Minister in Federal Parliament under Fraser
