  1. Yeah, I remember the the hanging of Ryan in 1967 very well. My uncle was the policeman that put the shotgun to Ryan's head through the car window in January 1966. He said that Ryan was a likeable guy and that Walker was a real gangster type. My uncle left the force soon after, and was never comfortable with the hanging of Ryan.
  2. I don't understand the reference of Saving Private Ryan to Brian Dixon. Over my head!
  3. It was that very style of play that won him the Liston Trophy when at Sandringham.
  4. Article said Ridley resigned as coach, I thought he was sacked, hence the player revolt.
  5. Didn't Bennell have a ruptured ACL from round 16. Cannot see him playing AFL in 2013.
  6. Agree with you Nutbean. I always check out how well they played. Those that say they have no interest, I wonder if they can say they didn't have a look at how Cameron Bruce and Tom Scully were going.
  7. Thanks DeeVoted, Red & Blue Forever and Whispering Jack. A bit of fun. I enjoyed the different quiz styles.
  8. Paul Roos reckons that basketballers have the most skills relevant to Australian Rules than any other sport. Kicking excepted.
  9. I thought Sean Wight was from Scotland.
  10. I don't think so. The Melbourne Speedway (Motordome) became Melbourne Olympic Park in preparation for the 1956 Olympics. The Harness Racing was at the showgrounds and the greyhounds were in a different area of Olympic region. That was changed to Broadmeadows, as the Melbourne Greyhound track fell by the construction of city link.
  11. Reading player interviews and watching the club videos, and knowing he is one of the top trainers; James Magner seems to be up there. Can a rookie be in the leadership group?
  12. Strange choice, given that he just had a knee reco. He will not have a realistic chance of establishing himself in 2013. Perhaps they are looking at a 2 year contract.
