At Least I Saw a Flag

Useless facts #2344, 2345 ... et al My son played junior footy with him years ago. His father was my dentist until he retired recently. He was a nice boy. His father is a top bloke. He was very unhappy at GWS years ago when he was repeatedly dropped. Wanted to come home. (Melbourne boy.) He cemented a place in the GWS side, but possibly being dropped for a final will rekindle his desire to come home.

They've won a flag more recently than MFC. And played in GFs more recently than us ... came very close to winning one too. Unlike MFC's 2 grand final debacles.

Dead cat bounce.

Sad ... but true

Perhaps grab Jimmy Toumpas as part of the deal?

Alan Scott says hi ....

Result never in doubt. Another collect betting on Melbourne's opponents. Money for old rope.

Filth v drug cheats. Not watching/listening, nor checking the scores. Who do I want to win? It would be like choosing between typhoid and cholera.

I think I'll do some housework.

Goal over the back ... rinse ... repeat

Stretch !!!!

No future ... no future ....

I can't believe I didn't put my usual bet on Melbourne's opponent.

Stretch doing what Stretch does best

Nibbler .... did what Nibbler does best.

I bumped into Marty Hore, his parents and some friends of his parents at The Convent in Abbotsford this arvo. (I was at the tail end of a bike ride.) They obviously called in there for a coffee after the Casey Match at Victoria Park. When I realised who he was I said "hey you should have been playing yesterday" to which all of them (including Marty) replied YES !! (quite indignantly). Clearly not happy that Marty hadn't been selected. A very nice young man.

Roos? Move on chaps. And to the poster who was banging on about missing Kelly, the Club was going to take Billings with the draft pick that was traded.

I hate the filth so much ...

Why is everyone so worried about AVB? I've heard he's only out for 4 - 6 !!

Welcome. Good post!

John McEnroe summed it up best ...

He was VERY unhappy at GWS when he wasn't getting a regular game and wanted to come home. He's a regular starting 18 player now though, so I'd be surprised if he came home when GWS could snag a flag within the next few years.

I saw him a coupla weeks ago at my local cafe. He was hobbling.

Has anyone suggested that it might be worth trying Frost on the wing?

It would be repeating mistakes from the past ... Kelvin Templeton anyone?
