David N was for the most part a great competitor. Just burst packs apart. Never noticed the captaincy, but I was not around much then. G Lyon on the other hand had so much skill, When he played we played like we had an extra player in the team and the players responded. When he was missing, even though there was a replacement, we were playing one short. just my view from my side of the fence

I would just restate this

That's it thank you. Just that, the sort of thing to bring a smile to my ugly dial, but I want more information, What youngsters are going to "step up" etc, etc thanks and many thanks to all the track watchers , whatever they write. Like the boy on the burning deck Backs to the Wall and fight ALL the barrstards

FFS. Close this thread what a load of bollocks ! for most here it’s loaded posts at 40 paces turn and fire. its almost summer, chill , we will be training the house down soon. i got one cannot wait for some positive posts

I can remember my old mum taking newspapers to the Elsternwick market, in her shopping trolley, so that she might get a few shillings to buy some tripe, that I never eat these days. but then we did live in a paper bag in the middle of road ! it was a long time ago !

Hasn’t picked the young doggy in the first 50. Might that mean a gentleman’s agreement to let him go through to the rookie list.

Aren’t we all !

The best revenge is success for you and your family. Now and into the future. court action might be a win, but you get the law applied not always justice. Advertise your success over your opponent, you will feel better and so will your loved ones. Good luck

indicitive of how close the overall season was, or how close we got and how much we stuffed it up. same to my mind the 1990 result effit!!

Yes they have not accepted our offer, or norths It might well be different on the night . They might need to take what they can get, Or we pick whom we want with pick 6 and pick 11. Where ever they fall, and we will still get two young men who can play pretty good football. Plan for the positives and possibilities Prepare for reality and probability

So did I when I was eighteen,

As I said earlier Going to be an interesting time this draft. I feel sure WC will trade the pick, they need more than one player, but so do North very much the same boat. Build a base from wide foundations not the pointy 1, both WCE and NM need to get two players out of the top of this draft. If WCE do not take what is offered now they will be forced to deal with the mighty MFC on draft night. We get 1 or a F1 they get 6 and 11 and steak knifes get passed around maybe we get 23 so we can get a player.

So Big Jimma is yours ?

Going to be an interesting time this draft. I feel sure WC will trade the pick, they need more than one player, but so do North very much the same boat. It will come down to who WC think North will pick and then who will be taken at 4 and 5, then our pick 6. and who might be left at our pick 11 very interesting !

Really pleased this has occurred not sure why it took so long. But at least it’s good. News in clear air no adverse news stories. i think it’s important to give past players kids a chance to make AFL the Wizards boy did not make it but did get a chance. The same decision made by other clubs, but he got a chance. be good to cheer on a Brown White Woe and even perhaps an Ooze go Dee’s

At least he ran in the correct colours

I thought it was one of the better pieces done by the herald sun on Melbourne for a very long time and a good photo of the young man and old man .

I don't think the thread is touched, perhaps the readers and posters now that's another question. But I do like it !

I for one hope you are correct. All of Hunter, Chandler started out like they were on fire and we’re going to become hero’s , sadly the heat disappeared a bit and they became a bit ordinary. IMO . Also Langers seemed to be just not the same as well. hope they can all fire each other up.

Would this work ? WCE gives up 1 to NM NM. Gives 2 to WCE NM gives 3 to Dees they all get their first choice player hawks then bulldogs take their pick Dees gives 6 to NM gws , cats, essendum, adel. Dees give 11 to WCE syd, StK, adel. Nth give Dee’s pick 15. dees pick 6 goes to 3 dees 11 goes to 15 all 3 clubs get excellent first choice melb still has 2 picks in top 15 nth has 4 not 5 in first 20 picks WCE get 2 inside the top 12 picks plus we might need to throw in our F2 and F3 i have NB idea but speculation

No way Old Age the flesh is not what it once was. once a king always a king once a knights enough i wish !

This second point Fremantle with 3 first rounders of 2024 they must be serious about something next year. Is there a number one next year from the west or someone going home? And can we benefit ? a long time to look ahead I know but it’s contemplating time

A favorite, pity. Throwing his hand out at full speed and a beutifull pass how can anyone forget that. like Jack Watts drilling the goal against the pies with Chunk all by himself, but he was not going to miss. Some you never forget. That one for Harmes in the GF forever a favorite moment

To be clear. Only 3 glasses of wine. At a time. if I have much more , it’s definitely not good. Too bloody old !

I do wish the trade period was over. then we could agree of disagree about JT and his picks. Then the training reports about the house falling down and we will be champions next year, and before you know it Xmas and it’s next year and footy starts in 6 weeks. and this wasted year will be behind us. We had absolutely no football luck in the last 6 or 7 weeks . I do like this thread, a little bit of bull shizen goes a long way and F all offence taken, 2024 then ! the flag, Oliver Brownlow, Tracca the norm smith, and Petty the Coleman go dees and winning lotto would be nice
