No , Boroughs .

Will be amused as usual when most of the doom-and-gloom merchants are back on board following our fourth consecutive win over the Toiges . Tipping 12 wins for the season and any price above evens for the eight looks value .
-
The volume of posts on this topic may soon approach $cully-esque proportions . Discussion of our best list depth in a decade interests me more .

There's just a chance Olympic Park may become available if Eddie has further delusions of grandeur and follows the Hawks with a multi oval complex on one of our rapidly disappearing golf courses .
-
Hawk supporters have whinged to me about limited visitor parking .

For me , to even tolerate opposition players they must be non-flamboyant achievers such as Skilton , Peter Knights , Roos and Pav .

Looking forward to a repeat of the New Balance 70% off . I particularly like their wide fitting options for cross trainers .

Yes , it's interesting that the post federation ANFC (1906-1995) which was absorbed into the AFL Commission was preceeded as early as 1883 by an intercolonial football conference . The self governing States/colonies were certainly having "national" aspirations .

That's because it's by Streeton . I have it on the dust cover of a book by footy fanatic the late Prof. Ian Turner . You can confirm this in seconds by Googling "Art Gallery of New South Wales - Arthur Streeton " and there it is......first on the list .

"The National Game" is by Arthur Streeton .

Quarter-Century Gawn .

Then we have the frauds who don't change their names but claim to be Vietnam War veterans . Their exposure is a regular story in our local paper .

Surely you are not questioning the motives of the Great Man when after putting us on his shortlist (after all we were his childhood team) , he found our training facilities not quite up to his elite expectations. Then there was his shared passion with Dick Pratt for environmental issues requiring a special media position for guess who.

The late Tommy Hafey in retirement loved to visit country footy teams to take training following up as panellist on a Sportsmans Night fundraiser . Chatting afterwards , he was sometimes approached by oldtimers claiming to have played a handful of VFL games . When he would tell them he would check them out in his copy of The Encyclopedia of League Footballers which he handily kept in his Glovebox , they seemed to quietly disappear .

If you Google " Hall of Fame -Geoff Case " you will see a short interview with him .

My Christmas present to a nephew was an unworn Dees Bomber Jacket of a few years vintage that I simply cannot wear due to the number "58" emblazoned on the upper sleave . Sure , it's meant to remember our foundation year but to me it represents my shock and disbelief as a nine-year old that we could lose the 1958 GF to the old enemy.

No club surname is more famous than Cordner and just a few weeks ago the last of the legendary four brothers of the 40's/50's , John , passed on . I was surprised to read in his obit that not only did he play for us in 1951 'til overseas studies called but he also played Shield cricket for Victoria and County cricket with Warwickshire . Perhaps WJ could expand a bit on the fab four and upload that famous photo published in the club's histories of the four boys watching home movies with their dad Ted Snr.

Dare I say " coach----R.D.B. "

He's strangely looking more like Alfred E. Neuman every day . Still think Vlad takes the cake missing a big chunk of a season with pre-retirement long-service-leave . Then there was the embarrassing time having attended the usual MCG pre-match function before a major final he was seen by hundreds of supporters heading BACK across the pedestrian bridge ( with entourage) to attend a Pavarotti concert at Rod Laver Arena .
-
So his "mates" thought him ok to drive ?
-
Hard to believe that pompous blowhard Hutchy has got the main Footy Show gig when one remembers his short term role as footy reporter some years ago when he was utterly rattled by Sam's needling . Cracks about his weight and receeding hair left him a humiliated mess .
-
I know of several supporters so shattered by Woey's trade that they have never fully regained their former fanaticism .
-
A classic "serviceable" player . Shouldn't we be looking to recruit possibly the next Boyd or Patton ?
-
I'll then be 85 ....any excitement may kill me .

How could a sane Dees tragic prefer our traditional enemy who in '58 stopped us winning 6 in a row to the hapless Sainters - one Flag only . !
