Old Man Rivers

54 year old... Still wearing jumper & no intention of taking off tonight ?

Yes to this.

Just WoW....... Best feeling I can remember since Smashing North in Preliminary Final in 2000.. So So pumped ?

How easy is this. We just don't want it as much as The Swans. Right at the minute it's embarrassing to watch.

Reports Bernie has dislocated shoulder in VFL today ?

This thread is Toe Much ?

Yep - What Moonshadow said. 4 Flags in 40 years sounds better than none in my 53 years.

Even Saints players smirking at the Gresham gifted goal ...

Why are The Saints allowed to umpire there own free kicks? The umpires can't be that blind?

Being bullied by The Saints. We need to harden up & give a little back .

Henry Coles

Bailey Fritsch - Moves Like ROBBIE

Move On Deemania. For me Jacks negatives far outweigh his positives so I like the decision. Ease your pain & focus on Bailey Fritsch, strap yourself in & enjoy our latest excitement machine.....

Jetta.....3rd quarter..It was a bad as the others.

Bit of a joke of a suspension. How can they be deemed as punches? Ebert ran out of his way to elbow Viney in the back to start it anyway. MRP are fools. What about the 3 facial contacts with Demon players. They were clumsy & all very deliberate. [censored] Port look forward to the return match.

After what can only be described as a disappointing start to the kid's career and had most of us questioning this selection things seem to be turning around with this kid. His last two games have seen him getting involved and finding plenty of footy. Now I don't want to moz the boy however his kicking in heavy traffic is elite and reminds me so much of Trapper(TJ). Hogan, Mitch, Dawes, Watts and Howe will love this kid over the next decade. Still early days however I am starting to see glimpes of why he went so high in the draft. Definite silver service weapon in the making.

Like Wise also getting excited about 2012 I have no doubt the heat will break a few on the list over Pre-Season, for those that thrive it will be a great ride. Going to be a very interesting 12 months.

Are we actually mean't to understand what you have written? Speak English

The great Kelvin Templeton sadly was spent by the time we got him but I can remember a rare victory @ kardinia park about 1984 when he bagged 8 goals in the Red & Blue

Darren Kowal - Massive Massive dissapointment for the Melbourne Footy Club Back to Henry Coles - rumour has it he wasn't paying attention to the coach at half time in a seconds game in the late 70's. Big Carl was coaching the 1st & down in the rooms & had a go @ him. The two went behind closed doors for a chat & all everybody could hear was fists flying & connecting & Carl screaming you can have an open clearance to anywhere you like. He was never seen at the Melbourne Football Club again. I think I read this tale in Robbie Flowers Autobiography. Robbie said he had never been more terrified in his life. Instant repect for Carl but apparently little fiery Henry Coles landed the most punches. Carlwalked out brushed his suiut down & it was business as usual.

Talking about headless Chooks has reminded me of this one Moose Henwood arrived @ the Dee's from the swans for a short unmemorable stint

Henry Coles Tom Flower All The Elliot brothers from St.Kilda - I think we had them all@ one stage Steven Clark - Was sensational for half a season late 80's b4 wrecking his knee (sadly now deceased) Ken Roberts Mark Jackson - If only he didnt want to be a movie star We had an aboriginal kid in the 70's that promised the world - Colin somebody or that may have been his surname.

How about Ted & John Fidge - Big wraps on both but neither delivered long term. There was a guy we picked up from the Bulldogs late 80's. had a couple of big games then dissappeared. I cant remember his name - Aidrian Campbell maybe? Wore No. 1 & of course Rocket Rod Owen - Played some decent footy for half a season early 90's b4 wrecking his knee.

I think your right DS - But I'm sure he started @ The Blues B)

Bobby M's top 40 list got me thinking about past players who appeared in a blaze of glory & dissappeared just as quickly What ever happenned to : Darren Cuthbertson - Announced his arrival to the footy world about 1990 with a couple of bags of goals against North (8 or 9 I think) & followed up with 6 against the Pies in a huge clash @ Waverley, then fell off the radar Glenn Swann - I think that was his name kicked a bag of 8 on debut against the Pies also @ the G about 1974. Dont think he ever played again. James Cook - Arrived from the Blues 2001 played one game kicked 6 & never played again. Did his knee I think How many other 5 minute wonders have the Dee's had over the past 30 years?????????????
