At Least I Saw a Flag

Why wasn't Petty playing?

For years Jee-long fans complained how hopeless Hawkins was. Eventually he came good. We can only hope that Weiderman follows the same path.

I was at the Footscray game in the last round + the 3 finals. Even if we had won the Prelim we would have been thumped by Carlton the following week (GF).

And his head .... and chins.

Garlett was cooked. He just wouldn't 'go' when it was his turn to 'go' (i.e. provide a contest). That was a non negotiable with the coach.

Because I love you too much baby?

He reminds me of Gunstan ... Jack, not Norman.

I think you mean Tommy (Lahiff).

blah blah blah !!

He's too small, too slow and his tackles don't stick.

I had the pleasure of sitting with Martin at the footy a few years ago. (Friend of a friend.) Brilliant writer ... top bloke. I don't know whether he reads this. But if so ... all the best Martin !!

I didn't say that he could play at his optimal level. The back injury prevented that. I simply said that playing with the injury wouldn't cause further damage.

Totally correct. The Club determined that playing with an injury would not cause further harm. (P.S. Information from a club staff member.)

Staff member at the Club.

Brayshaw was playing with an injury the whole season.

Premierships in the last 54 years ... we all know that one !!

Judd did come back to Melbourne.

Oh dear ...

That's a pretty good comment.

Spargo wasn't worth pick 20

Not worth #3, probably not #8. Not tall enough as a ruckman and not showing enough as a forward.

He's better than Jones, and will end up a lot better. Better decision maker, doesn't get caught so often and better disposal.
