I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the performances in a praccie match played in Shepp in 38 plus degrees heat. Regardless, you underrate Spargo. What is he? 19/20? This year is his second year in the big league. A very smart footy brain and mature beyond his years. ANB I have no issue with. Garlett is very secondary backup if he, at his mature age (for a footballer), ever gets his body right again. That's the ruthless way it is if we are serious about winning the flag...and about time.

Barring injuries from our preferred team, I'd be surprised to see Jeff Garlett out on the G again.

I assume that's why we employ a ute load of coaches. To teach the raw/rare talent. That's their job. Let's wait and see before making any final calls.

I must be older than you. You should have seen the early eighties. Then again, better you didn't.

Always good news to hear Col's at the radiologist I think not. There's a serious possibility that he'll be lucky to reach 50 games if that. He's been hit hard with the injury stick. I'm getting concerned right now.

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.
