Tough, tiring game last week in the wet. Younger players will tire in a frenetic game at Docklands, so Goodes as a fresh hard body is the obvious choice this week. Hunter has played all three zones of the game according to Monty, so he is now on board with the Bevo multifaceted player mantra...

Yes I think that was his name. No it was Goring

Listening to Eade yesterday, he has a 200cm young bloke he thinks will be a very good midfielder this year. From his description the youngster put me in mind of jarrad grant. At this rate, even Bonti may be considered too small in a couple of years to play midfield if this trend continues.

In the sixties, Saturday was up early for u14s and later u16s FDL, home for homemade soup and sausages. A walk from near the ammunition factory in Gordon St, (now Edgewater), past the Powell hotel and on to the Barkly St gates with a couple of brothers and some cousins we would pick up along the...

I'd have a lot more faith in Hunter if he can become a more accurate standing shot at goal. He has great potential and ability but needs to recognize it has to be finished off well. Same judgement has been levelled against Jones and Grant in the past. Jones last year showed it can be done, while...

Hello, Great thread and some posts I can really relate to. Patience must be in our DNA! I was born in '54 and have been attending games since 1962 when the club gave out some junior memberships to my primary school (a long David Darcy drop kick from the Barkly St end). Seeing a lot of...
