Put me down for Winston Abraham....not for his high flying marking, nor his nimbleness. The part of his game most resembling my own would be the day he came off the bench against Essendon. Two seconds on the ground, he found himself next to Hird who had jjust marked. Winnie tackled him (and gave...

For mine, our greatest rivalry should be with Carlton. Owned NMFC shares Poached Pagan (which actually turned out to be a good thing) Takeover bid thinly veiled as merger ....anybody want to add to the list 1999 Grand Final meant that all my footballing ambitions have been fulfilled...

22 games against Carlton

Re: Sav Heading To America!!! I too am going to be sorry to see him go, and disagree (albeit slightly) with our Mod. A consumate professional, a gentleman and an ambassador for the club. Presented tough at every contest, was happy to play decoy when asked. Continuously tried his butt off...

Just remembered a mark by Carey (don't know when or against which team) where he led from the goal square into a pocket then back to the goal square with the flight of the ball and took it over the pack on his chest. The video footage got replayed for quite some time.

1. Winston Abraham vs Port @ Manuka, 1998 - I was watching this game while on an exercise bike at my gym. When he took the grab I let rip with a thunderous "WINNIE". Everybody in the room shat themselves and the instructor on duty was on his way over to ask me to leave....when he saw the replay...

Just out of interest, does anyone remember what we traded away to get Hay...and what has been the resultant performance of anybody picked up with the draft pick(s) or player swaps?

I agree with FM's sentiments....The weakest part to the argument is hoping Drew evolves into the key position player we hope he can be. As for Untouchables, I note with interest that nobody has even mentioned Firrito on their second tier?

The call in wasn't exclusively about turnovers. The topic was "If you were playing a possession game, who wouldn't you want to have the ball". Jeff Farmer was mentioned as somebody in this category who wasn't necessarily a turnover villian. He was mentioned along the lines of his...

It is well known that DW is struggling with foot problems. Don't know the detail, but something to do with fallen arches or flat feet or something of that ilk.

....as I mentioned in another thread, I think Drew's best role for us is as the roaming ruckmen. He provides a solid contest, but won't win many tap outs. Our players are more than adept at roving to the opposition ruckman. Drew has also shown to be lacking when he has time to think about his...

Petrie - Has been given enough game time to show his worth. While I sympathise with the argument that he hasn't been able to settle into one role, I counter it with the fact that no player in today's game plays a career out with one role only. He is most effective (IMO) as a battering ram for...

....and further to the "inconsistencies" theme. Was anyone else taken aback with JYD's comments on playing the kids....especially in light of his rant post Round 1? You remember....something along the lines of "...We've turned up to play and win, now the supporters better start turning up and...

How about Flossie's goal in the dying moments of the 1996 GF. In the context of the game/result it had little meaning.....Fortunately we were sitting directly behind him and the crowd went off their perch when he kicked it. A great premiership, a great moment, an awesome final kick (don't think...

How about the 10 painstaking points in the 4th quarter Rd 12, 1999 against Melbourne to beat them by 1 point? :eek:

Along the same vein, every point that Longmire kicked in Round 22 (?) in whatever year it was when he did everything in his power to NOT kick the ton!

Anything, ANYTHING please to keep him from kicking for goal. I think his greatest value is as a ruckman. He provides a battering ram for other ruckman to run into and our crumbers are clever enough to rove to the opposing ruckman! If I might be allowed to indulge my super coach fantasies and...

Andyroo......that was the one. Thanks for the reminder (having a child mid year has dried up a whole swag of brain cells)

Makepeace's goal for mine, although as a Rocca fan, anything he bombed from outside 50 makes the list for me. ...also, am I dreaming, or did somebody bomb one from near the centre circle this year (might have been an opposition player)

Was it just me, or was anyone else amazed that Watt was in the half time sprint final. Is he truly the fastest we have to offer (excluding Wells who must still be pretty impressed with himself after seeing what he took to the Brownlow :thumbsu: )? I don't remember who won the final, but my...

1st Quarter, Round 4, 1995.....Raining Yellow and Black goals. Richmond players were kicking them out of their @rses all over the place. If my memory serves me well, we actually were pretty even scorewise for quarters 2-4 and still lost by 49 points. 'nuff said

Hi all, Just wonderng if anybody else has the same reservations about Drew Petrie that I have? It would seem to me that had he not been promoted to the leadership team, his form in the last few years (excluding last Sunday's game against Richmond) would have had him dropped several times. Was...
