  1. Great Analysis. Hawks weren't hurt by drafting Buddy, Roughead and Cyril. Cats also got Selwood, Bartel and co. Moved the earth for Ottens. Both clubs both lost "best player in the AFL" - Buddy/Ablett and still won flags. How would Hawks be with Josh Kennedy? Oops.
  2. Anyone bought one? Do they come with grass/mud/bloodstains? I'm serious. Is there a letter of authenticity from the club or player - with accompanying in action photograph? How much are they? I guess a Nathan Jones one would fetch more than a fringe 22 player. Do they come mounted - or in a brown bag like the on board guy here does our laundry? Also guessing a more traditional example would attract a higher premium than a pink version like the Ladies' Day example. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who can provide me with the info.
  3. Incredibly eight players in that 22 no longer in "our best team."
  4. Shoulda/coulda been our year - stopped Hawks hat trick.
  5. Damn, I was offshore out of Sale that day. Still got Billy Bennet's last quarter on VHS.
  6. Essendon victories are the sweetest - ask anyone who ever stood at Windy Hill. Found Vic Park a picnic after that. In Matthews last year at Brisbane we effectively put them out of the 8 - late in the season. Coupla late goals to Cam Bruce and Brad Miller from memory. Context of my query is when did we beat top four side - really rated? We could have had a win against a Richmond or Footscray at some early season stage where they have been flukely sitting fourth. Next three weeks gives us chance to reclaim some real ground.
  7. Yeah Adelaide oval win one for the ages. Were they top 4 previous year? And it was first win there since Schwarz/Leoncelli combo. Other than Crows match reckon we'd have to go back to Danihera to recall last win against top 1 to 6 side. Technically I'm guessing it was the St Kilda final. Nine years.
  8. If you can see her...what need's explaining?
  9. Under Bailey we knocked off a couple - the usual FIFO outfits. Saw big wins against Freo and Adelaide then we'd get walloped by the same margin against a Hawthorn or Geelong. Swans' coach Roos suffered biggest loss ever against Melbourne. Dim dark days of Neeld, can only recall the night Essendon win in the wet - not the televised pre-match address game. Ninthmond and Carlton don't count - or expansion sides. Flash in pan results. So I'm thinking - when was the last time we beat a real top 8 side? Reckon it was QB 2007. And that was after losing the first seven straight. Typically, Daniher finished two weeks later. Currently working ouuta Vung Tau - but I'm in town Round 5. Have Freo, Swans and Hawks next three. I'll see the first two. Awesome if we could grab just one.
  10. Closer than it looks - 8 scoring shots to 10 so they're not out of it. Our younger players gotta maintain the intensity. Bruising, gruelling encounter, easy for tide to turn. We are not use to defending four goal half time lead. Said Hanrahan
  11. Cant believe it - don't pick up Demonologys streaming. But on AFL website get ABC radio commentary.
  12. Keep it up with the comments, scores etc. Follow the lot from Vietnam. Thx
  13. Not sure if the Cats whinge about us getting AFL handouts. Sadly this is one of the IOUs.
  14. You forgot our beloved President passed away, Neeld accused of racism and poster boy LJ tearing them up in the Never Never.
  15. Didn't "fall in" Outscored them by a point in second half - capitalised on solid first half.
  16. outscored them in the second half too! 'WENT ON WITH IT FROM HALF TIME" BY ONE POINT
  17. FIRE IN THE BELLY thx mate - won't link on iPhone. Anyway I'll take being in front and watch the scores without video! Go Dees Radar
  18. Please keep it all coming. Hanging on to every word in SAIGON. Bars that showed Tigers apparently don't subscribe to second string Foxtel network we are on. Afl site crashed - no scores and Demonogy feed not working. No comaints from me if we're in front - but please keep up the live commentary and scores.
  19. St Kilda beat them by 10 goals
  20. Hopin one of his dinky "Chip" passes costs them big time in a tight final.
  21. Didn't think we had so many wins. Round 11 win against Collingwood I saw - think first win over Pies since 1968. Also McKenna's last senior game for them. Was dropped, severely injured in Reserves match following week never played again - apart from brief return with Carlton. Decades later, met him at work. Absolute gentleman, looked unchanged and was a beautiful kick for goal. Noted names - Robert Walters and Paul Hurst. AFL games book should detail the good and bad in a player's bio. Three Brownlow runners Up. Stan, Wells and Hardemann. Laurie Fowler - what a pick up. Dual Premiership Tiger. Forty years, - guess we've only had had about eight 5 year plans.
  22. Where were these sycophants and hand wringers when Australian Defence Force and Emergency Service personnel were advised against wearing uniforms in public or on mass transport? So coupla dark people get glared at; brave men and women of our front line security - who put their lives on the line - face having their heads chopped off.
