  1. I humbly apologise.

    I still remember being at the Northern Stand end of the ground - having a kick of the footy on the concrete area and watching Tassie kicking those magnificent drop kicks whilst ankle deep in mud.

    ( for those too young to remember - yes - behind the goals at the city end - from forward pocket to forward pocket was no seats and concrete (for a period of time) and you could have a kick there even when the game was on)

    edit- Jesus I am old...

    Watch out. If you are that old you will be getting those mank fungus toe ads on your screen!

  2. I want to know... Is Roos going to message evryone !!! :)

    Haven't got mine yet!

    Doesn't look like a great time being 'Melbourne'. But I'm with Colin in liking that they're targeting a wider audience.

    Of course it does oh ye of little faith!

  3. I looked up David Williams who played with us in the late 80's. Wikipedia said we traded him to the Tigers and then he did his knee - but my memory is otherwise. He did his knee - we delisted him with a promise that we would pick him in the PSD if he got through preseason. But Richmond used an early pick to nab him.

    edit - on researching I looked at the 1989 draft - we were horrible at drafting even then ( our biggest haul was predraft of Stephen Clark from Essendon who played 21 games for us - the balance 4 players played a total of 3 games for us !!) but the Eagles in that draft took predraft - Ryan turnbull 129 games, traded in Wilson 117 games, pick 4 matera 253 games, pick 40 Dean Irving 43 games, pick 64 Evans 108 games, pick 92 Heady - 156 games, pick 112 McIntosh - 256 games !!!!! get me this recruiting team !!!!

    Speaking of which remember the Cockatto-Collins twins David and Don early 90's?
