That's what I don't get - I love the atmosphere at The G. I don't need any manufactured atmosphere. If we so badly need to 'enhance the game day experience' (wanky corporate weasel words if ever there were) why do we have a record membership at this point? BECAUSE WE ARE COMPETITIVE ONFIELD -...
First jumper (tiny) had 24 for BILLY BARROT, then had to remove the 2 and centre the 4 for ROYCEY BABY.
BAZZA ROWLINGS and GRAEME LANDY were two of my faves. Had their numbers on my jumpers. My sister still wears my Esso training top with Barry '22 Rowlings to the big games. Loved KNIGHTER...
That should be a free every day of the week. It's like saying frees for 'too high' shouldn't get paid unless someone gets hurt. There is no way a player should be able to use one of the hardest parts of his body to strike an opponent off the ball and get away with it. That Tim Lane article was...
You keep jumping to conclusions. We all know the head is sacrosanct. I never at any stage condoned TV's strike (though I fully understand WHY he did it). I really hope Hardwick tells our blokes to elbow unsuspecting opponents for the rest of the year seeing as there is no free for it. Cool.
Hey, YOU are the one who thought it would be a 'tragedy' if 'physical contact' such as Cox's cheap shot elbow was taken out of the game. I made no comment about Vickery's strike.
A 'tragedy' to see cheap shot elbows banished from the game? Wow. Assume the AFL will have no concerns if 100 blokes do the same thing all day next round.
Must warn you that I saw Patton remonstrating with his team mates for poor delivery the other week so buyer beware (Strangely it wasn't replayed all week from 12 different angles as it is when JR does it).
Also frustrating when a team 'must win to keep their finals hopes alive.' They lose yet apparently the next week, they 'must win to keep their finals hopes alive.'
'Childish' is exactly the word that comes to mind when I think of McGuire. Why on Earth would Longmire want to work with McGuire? Quite apart from the fact that the hybrid thing is a complete waste of time.
Could not agree more with the last two posts. It was staggering how many times players took on opponents yesterday, were tackled, dropped the ball, yet were not penalised. The moronic 'put the whistle away' crew must have loved that game. It descended into farce very quickly. You could do almost...
Vale Tommy - now with Captain Blood and my Mum in RFC heaven. I see my Tommy Hafey autograph on the fridge every day. 'Keep fit' he wrote. Met Tom at a sportsman's night several years ago. One of the highlights of my life. I'll never forget when a couple of blokes who had had a few too many...
First game was with Duncan Kellaway against the Saints at The G. I remember how he was so athletic that he would mark right in front of his opponent and just play on automatically. He would simply run away from them. Another memory was Richo kicking 6.8 in a loss against Carlton. They...
Plenty of high draft picks don't end up making it. I think the OP is celebrating the fact that, in Rance we have a strong, courageous defender who provides plenty of run. I don't think anybody is 'stunned' by his development - more delighted.
