  1. Matty Bate...one of nature's gentlemen. Met his family at the lunch on his debut at the G...lovely people. Met him after the match and then at the B & F at the Palladium. Mature and dedicated from what I could see at his young age. He's also a song writer and plays guitar. And he has a good line in chat apparently...just ask my daughter after the B & F! A top bloke and future leader of our club.
  2. Congratulations Aaron. Get busy in the off-season though, a couple of sons would be handy.
  3. Expect Matty Bate to walk up next year and accept the same award Chopper now has on his mantlepiece.
  4. He has trimmed down already. Anyone who saw him on Monday night could attest to that. He looked to be in terrific shape - at least my daughter thought so.
  5. Nathan Carroll has always been good. People called him iffy only because he had limited, intermittent game time and made a few memorable clangers. However he always had the characteristics of a tough backman. I've posted on this way earlier like 2004 but for some cyber reason my posting history has been scratched. Never mind, my opinion hasn't changed. Stick with him.
  6. A little late for this thread but being an old fart I can't separate Barass and Robbie Flower. Both dynamic in their own ways and each provided inspiration and leadership in every game they played. When I saw Barass, (Lord tap to Barass, bump, handball to Bluey Adams etc) I always thought he was playing for the memory of his lost father; he was stamping the ground and was taking no prisoners. Robbie on the other hand played through pure skill, balance and talent rarely equalled. The point is, sometimes grit and determination can equal god's given gifts. Dead heat in the Melbourne Championship Stakes.
