    Unsolved The Family Murders

    Not the one who passed away, that was Simon Slade, but you're on the right track.

    Could be right but I don't know enough about tennis to comment. Every sport is different but it seems to me that there is a general improvement in most.

    Toast The media....*Nods Head*

    In my opinion the superfit, superbly skilled, strong, tough, fast, gut running, defensive minded and skilled player that Hamish Hartlett is right now is a superior all round footballer to ANY player in 1985. You can throw quite a few other current players into that as well. I also believe the...

    Also, Ablett snr played a fair bit of footy up the ground in his early years so perhaps there are similarities there. At 24 Ablett wasn't close the legend that he became. In fact at 24 Hamish is probably the better player. Who knows what lays ahead.

    Seeing the lads run onto the ground for our first AFL match in that guernsey is a sight I will never forget. Love that guernsey.

    True Crime

    He sure has been. The whole Stevenson scenario information seemed to suggest that there were some very ruthless people hanging around at the time who were far more likely to resort to murder than David. The list of people who frequented the Stevenson house was quite unbelievable. If you read the...

    True Crime

    Yes, I have held back from commenting generally but it is well known that Don Storen threw Dons 70th birthday party. It is a fact that Storen was very close to the 'doctor' and 'legal identity' in the whole 'family' scenario and you can throw in the 'well known lawyer' into that. Being mentioned...

    True Crime

    A great book. Don was a close mate of Don Storen who was very good mates with a few characters two of whom were named Brown and Woodards. Many of Dons mates were in the 'pink files' and that is why they were destroyed. Had the special branch been able to continue or at least the 'pink files'...

    True Crime

    His handling of the Stevenson murder was terrible as well. He used outdated procedures to determine critically important aspects. David Szach, the young man who was convicted and jailed for the murder refused to accept release on parole because it meant he had to acknowlege his crime. The...

    Williams seperated one of Maccas teeth from his mouth with an uppercut in a pack and the origin trainers were looking for it during the next break.

    Yep, brilliant, courageous, double sided, they didn't make him captain of our club in a great era for nothing. He and Bruce Light were the first two sided players that I ever saw who became better kicks with their non preferred side. As a rover Bucky stood out in what was probably the strongest...

    This is so right, all good coaches learn from those around them and they use them to enhance their own unique way of doing things. Having Richo and the Phil around would definitely be a plus for any coach but Ken is Ken and from listening to the bit of audio from the Vic country club that he...

    Fact. Fos made 15 grand finals and won 9 of in 26 years of coaching. I don't reckon South have done that well in their entire history. Heard someone from South say on radio that the players felt that the style that they were asked to play was unsustainable, too crash and bash. That is why they...

    Port Adelaide raffle anyone get a call?

    I always buy my book but last year was a worry because I got a call weeks after I handed mine in asking me when I was going to hand it in. Luckily I still had the receipt given to me at the counter but after that I wasn't too sure whether I was actually in the draw. I just see it as a 60 dollar...

    That's probably because Port sides often went further into finals than they 'should' have given injuries, talent, etc. The '82 is a classic example of this and a few sides that Fos coached won big finals just on heart. Ever heard John Halbert talk about '81 and '82 ? Apparently both us and...

    Yes, every second lottery, raffle and counter lollie or chocolate box seemed to be linked to the retention scheme back then. It became a farce when 29 year old thug Scott Salisbury was 'retained' under the scheme. I had no respect for it after that.

    Nearly ten years ago I emailed aa regarding one of their presenters who was giving favourable commentary to a business and I was openly ridiculed on air for doing so. One week later the same host was suspended for two months for doing exactly what I had accused him of.

    Stems from a gutless late high hit on Daryl Wakelin in 2003 . Wakes needed reconstructive surgery but still played in a major final a few weeks later. Right up there with the worst of them.
