Gee you know you're old when this dude doesn't make the list.



Fun fact around Kym, was told by North they were going to delist him after his 2nd season. He went away and worked his arse off. Became a good footballer for us. Wonder what would happen today if one of these upstarts were told their would be delisted. I suppose one would need to wait until the sobbing stopped before hearing a response.

Good luck to young Hardeman, from the limited vision I've seen, he looks like he belongs. So that is a fine starting point.

Between Hodgeman and Staritski was a player who played most his footy for North. His biggest claim to fame was not at North, but at one of the two others he played for. He kicked a goal in the last minute of a game - not to win it, but to save them from being goalless for a whole match. He wore 17 there too.

Any idea on where stiffy originates as a nickname?

*yes I am aware how strange that sounds.

Back in the 1920s, Australian vaudeville legend Roy Rene had a character named Mo, and his offsider was named Stiffy. You could tell them apart because Stiffy had a moustache but Mo didn't.

Anyway, they always began their act with Stiffy walking out and saying "My name is Stiffy, and I've got a mo", meaning moustache. And then Roy Rene would walk out in character and say "And my name's Mo".

And your great-grandparents pissed themselves laughing, the dirty old buggers.

What a lovely nickname

I wonder if Clarko has done a similar thing that he did with the Hawthorn group: These players we feel will help us get to a premiership. These players we are unsure about.

Imagine the red faces of some of lazier players who are currently raking in the big bucks…

If only he had missed…
Carlton around this time were ahead of * on my most disliked clubs list. What with Jack Elliott as president, the half-arsed attempt at taking us over through the back door buying of shares, Battle of Britain, Kernahan keeping us out of the finals etc etc.

Had no idea Arceri ended up at the saints. Liked him at North, was one of my favourites as a young bloke along with Matty Larkin and the Krakouer brothers.

Yes well this was the obvious choice even tho it is an incredibly big ask to step up in a basket case defence
As per usual we just have to take another deep breath cross the fingers and hope he make a positive contribution
Go Riley

likely just go out and marry a mobile phone dynasty heiress?

 

[Masked Avenger]

Just give me wheels Riley.

Those shiny Mattel ones.

I want you to run out of defence like a scolded cat.

Do it like your life depends on it.

Like our life depends on it.

Be the beacon for change young man.

Godspeed.

Has it been established whether Riley's related to Gary Hardeman or not?

Loved his message. I think there’s an Italian connection on his mums side.

Get his old man a job at the club weeding out those not capable of wearing the armor.

 

[koshari]

Solid debut, few mistakes early but corrected them pretty quickly, highlight was picking off that pass, irony that his lowlight was lack of awareness with a pass that got picked off as well.
