As I recall Northey gave Stynes a frightful bake in the change rooms after the game, which he subsequently apologized for some days or weeks later. I may be corrected on that but pretty sure that's what happened.

Love the 'broccoli' bit. Your name is Matthew Febey?

1987 - Round 18 v Brisbane Bears at the MCG Went along with the old man and his close friend for the first time, watching the Demons roll a sheizen Bears outfit by 54 points in front of a paltry home crowd at the G. We were sitting well out of the top 5 at the time and Dad's mate earned a rebuke for telling me in jest that 'this was the start of our march to the finals'. Little did we know .... I'll never forget that fairy tale run. Some of the best, most exciting weeks of my life. Anyone who witnessed that run will always believe that until you're mathematically out of it, you're never out of it.

'88 Elimination Final ... Melbourne v West Coast 'Williams throws it out to Lyon. He shoots, he goals ... Melbourne in front!!'

Eishold '87 Prelim ... no contest.

That's right ... I type all my musings with one hand tied behind my back!

The issue is that the artist formerly known as Range Rover can lay claim to the greatest victory in the history of Demonland. This has been brought up a number of times but it is worth mentioning again.

Why is it 'highly unlikely' that a fabrication - whoeverso generated it - of that sort might've occurred? I guess it's as 'highly unlikely' as the original assertions by the TS is staying crowd that the boy wonder would never depart. The gall to call out those few of us who were on to it from day dot as 'barking mad' is hilarious.

Ahhh it's off season reminiscing time ... B. Lovett was a beauty. Loved it heavy under foot and you're right, one of the all-time great exponents of standing up in a tackle before giving off to advantage.

Brett Lovett !! * Damn you pipped me Franky.

Usually it means the area in the forward 50 with the greater space (and generally less congestion) for the forward to lead into.

"The Phil Scully side"

I agree. But decisions made in anger ... and I think there was more than a hint of vengeance in the way Sheedy engineered this ... can have a nasty way of going pear-shaped. Let's hope so in this instance.

That's a tad rich coming from someone who missed, or refused to acknowledge, almost every less-than-subtle clue as to what was going on throughout the season. And Joss Whedon can bite my crank

Blahh ... whatever helps you get through the day Btw you didn't always maintain he could go. In the beginning you were totally adamant that anyone who doubted him was off their rocker. With each passing week you took a step down your ladder.
