Perhaps it is time for them to change their nickname. Is that the correct definition? "Bombers" has so many negative connotations in this age. I would think that name was adopted to celebrate the destruction of Germany in WW2 by Bomber Command, something that now seems rather less glorious with the benefit of hindsight. Dresden and all. They should adopt a name that celebrates a profound and unique achievement in the modern age. I propose The Chemists.

Agree. May was a devastating forward as a junior and could be a very effective stop gap forward if disaster struck. Another reason to celebrate his arrival at the club.

Would love to see off and on the list each year since 2013 if anyone has the energy. Quite a story I would reckon.

Every time Wallace sees red and blue Rodney Grinter springs to mind I reckon. Not endorsing a particular incident but perhaps Terry ain't an impartial observer.

Agreed and I think the other "natural winger" is Hunt.

Having watched the VFL granny today I would be astounded if Garlett is at the club next year. And Buggy ain't coming back to the seniors. Tyson trade.

Never thought I would be saying this but I reckon Harmes has earned a place on that list.

Pity we lost Paul Kelly to Adelaide. He wrote a series of excellent articles for the Age during the 87 finals run that really described the euphoria, until that game at Waverly of course.

Or including it was the point. We rely too heavily for our sense of self upon what was done by those who are now dead or old men. Time to make a new history for what was once a great club. I think recent developments give us cause for optmism.

They've won one more than us since their last.

Delighted with the choices but was there any choice? Lets give them some time and then enjoy the joy.

And Brayshaw is a big frame upon which to build muscle. Potential is an overused and debased word. What is the base? Whatever you want is yours if you want it enough. Well NO. Where you start has to give you a substantial advantage. Our drafting this year has given us young men that start with physical ability, the gift, and bring the determination. the critical element. May they prosper.
