  1. Are Teams other than us told that the scoreboard doesn't matter and they play a role for the whole game, and that is what they would be assessed on after that game?
  2. Really entertaining report Pickett and had the lovely original touch of setting the scene. Just one question. In view of what supposedly happened against Footscray were you expecting something different?
  3. I'll throw something in the mix here and say this. What ingredients in life generally makes ordinary people/players more switched on, more quickly? Don't have to go far back do we. I can go back to 1970 though.
  4. Yes but i'm not going to sit there and say nothing when you knew people going back and they could be more helpful than just saying you haven't got any guts repeatedly.
  5. Well respected in the far cue area of d /heads.
  6. I'm thinking Spargo will play well when it counts, which would be next week. I'm also beginning to discount practice games. Didn't we beat Footscray in a practice match last year, preseason?
  7. BIt rich when it happens in nearly every game, every year, and remarkably winning or losing. Bring em back to reality , says AFLeas....
  8. Counts for Sweet FA ...
  9. Ah the days of beer and pies.......
  10. Good solid interview in my OP. And interviewer. Covered the spots and made things about where we are quite clear and "feet on the ground stuff". Should i be in the camp that says this is it, after we win four and lose one, five games in, sweet Jesus I wish i knew....
  11. How would you get sadder than that lot?
  12. Chocko must have thought he wouldn't get a game with Riewoldt and Lynch hogging everything too
  13. Any other day in the season, with bloody poser, pseudo intellectual Cotchin he would have been given a fifty and a goal.
  14. I'd be thinking Jetta, and then it's all about respect..
  15. There's kinship there amongst those guys in that grab, so much so that one would be reluctant to break it up under any circumstances, other than injury of course.
  16. I must admit i have had over the years a degree of empathy for Ron because as it turned out the sixties was a time of great transition in Australia Sport. In tennis especially, professionalism was the way of the future, and the future has not looked back. I will leave it at that. in other words being involved in sport meant moving on from Kooyong to Laver..
  17. The Tigers were trying but they usually are not fit and about at this time of year. No gloss off our blokes though, we were cleaner and more imperative.
  18. We knock off Tigers in a practice match and the noise got louder..
  19. I think that's a little bit unfair seeing as everyone would have wanted to see him how he went, and i bet in the after match table it would have been about encouragement, linking up and becoming known around the field. This is not criticism.
  20. Send Collingwood and TWSNBN over there and put em in a hub...
  21. I can remember some very funny interactions on World of Sport with Ron Casey and Lou Richards (Mr Weideman) All things pass..
