Quite a few more than I thought having been dragged around a lot in the 80's with my old man.
The only one I think not mentioned already was 1998 at The Oval in London (v's saints I think), by all accounts the waterbottles were filled with lager.
Its not just footballers, the world and jails are full of rich (see Pratt) and successfull people who do stupid things for the thrill, high or for more dollars.
It sounds crazy to all of us wishing we were Shaun Higgons.
I think a lot of what is said above is very valid and wouldnt mind his experience in finals and hard running.
Its dealing with the youngsters that concerns me.
Inevitably when a 1st, 2nd or 3rd year player who has not been near any class A drugs asks Mr Cousins "so what were they (coke, E's...
What a complete joke,
The dogs keep brisbane to 10 goals and Lake, morris and hargrave get zero mention.
We have about 36 scoring shots against thier defence and the lions get a bloke in.
Only full members get access to the reserve on GF day.
Restricted occasionally get access if there is an interstate team playing. Tickets sold on the day at 10am for about $100.
Hi All,
Thought this was a great email from a friend of mine who is now a passionate and paid up member.
"Yes I can imagine actually because that was the day (Dogs v Coll final) I fell in love with the Doggies!
I lost touch with footy for nearly 15 years because of living in Darwin and...
My source says it was all negotiated with Collingwood and they will pay Werribee direct or indirectly, but they will pay.
According to werribee the dogs are trying to pass the buck for some ordinary trading last year. In the magoos because that is all they were good for.
Aparently a rumour...
Actually met the great man last week at a work function and couldnt believe how small he was. 5'10" at absolute best and skinny (though wouldnt want to try running through him).
I thought Mitcha was awesome today.
If not getting hard ball clearances but getting the short receive then getting a great possession away.
I believe he is back to his pre-knee form.
Spotted him at the Sorrento Hotel on Saturday afternoon but suprisingly not with a beer in his hand.
Actually knew one of his mates who said he was a ripper bloke determined to be a AFL player.
Better than the arrogant SOB I ran into at the races a few years ago.
After signing up for membership today i wandered up to the terraces to see if any action was taking place.
Saw the great man in a drill with higgins and the griff.
What a mountain of a man! Could tell he lacked the footskills of the others but look great on a lead with petty good hands...
Yet again another great game on the weekend.
My question is:
Has there been another player at the peak of his powers playing his 300th game?
Most champions are handy/serviceable towards the end, but not 2nd favourite for the brownlow.
Hi All,
I havent been around for a while, but have been enjoying the recent games.
But what the hell is that image of Sir Chris Grant on the website about. I was worried my eyes were still effected by last saturdays nights gin binge.
Talked to Birssy at a "juice bar" later on Saturday night and he was a bit suprised he was dropped but didnt give the impression he was too upset about it.
Was pretty happy with the win at Werribee.
On the contrary ES, a great view for those that want to stand at the footy and not be back behind the seats on level 1.
And beer out of a glass to boot!
I am still coming down to earth after the performance on Saturday night. Have spent most of today reading through the various forums and they continued to send a tingle down my spine.
Not sure if anyone else from this board was there but as per the last 5 years watched the entire game from...
If it has been said before, I apologise, but this game is huge for us.
We need to beat good teams consistantly and not be happy to have defeated Brisbane once this year. We need to start to look like we can dominate teams and set up recent win records.
Winning 2 games in a row is also an...
He has been slightly off since his game against Essendon. Not getting anywhere near the pill and not doing much when he gets it.
Love the bloke and hope he can kick another bag this year.
From a little birdy last night, The Doctor has got it right apart from K-mac even though he did kick a couple last week.
Hahn out is huge but shows the rest of the squad if you arent performing you are in the magoos.
This is a great change from last year when you could have 7 very average...
Have heard from a source within Carlton that OO will almost definately used during the Commonwealth games.
Any publicity on it this year would have subtracted from the cash they are trying to make out of this round from merchandise, breakfasts and last suppers.
I am a regular reader but an irregular contributer to this board but after the weekends display couldnt let this go by without anyone mentioning it.
We have heard all of the banter pre season about this so called accountability and the need to toughen up our defence. I believe we are well on...
