Now that's TOEY.

Nice job, super glossy. (not so much the white , is that correction fluid?)

Not sure went to a salon

 

[katmanblue]

Demetriou is an arrogant flog and he just wanted to boost his ego by starting two new clubs for no other reason but to make himself look good imo.

G.C at least has a few thousand genuine members and they are mainly expatriate Victorians.

Giants on the other hand, will never take hold. Just so stupid to start an AFL club in that part of Sydney, most of their members are cats and dogs.

GWS might, but it will take another 50years.

Didn’t rate Jezza?

Haha struggled to remember the names

He wasn’t too shabby.

Lots of players have had moments of real bravery, flying through the air with eyes only for the ball!!!

The difference being Kenny did it week in, week out it was just a hallmark of his game! At a time when the game was deliberately brutal.

Hickmott was also a very brave player putting himself in places angels feared to tread, difference was Kenny also did it with the guarantee that if an opposition player didn’t clean him up gravity certainly would.

I need to go back & watch games with KH again.

The players that throw themselves at it like Kade Simpson , an early Ollie Hollands, are worth their weight .

7 more sleeps or for those males over 50
7 more 3am pisses

Broke his jaw 3 times in his first WAFL year. You know how.

 

[blueboy25]

Broke his jaw 3 times in his first WAFL year. You know how.

And once playing for University Ammos in WA before he went to Claremont.

What a player he was

 

[Coona Blues]

7 more sleeps or for those males over 50
7 more 3am pisses

Not wanting to drag the conversation down, but for many of us in that age demographic, a single sleep interruption would equate to bliss…

Percy is now in the North Fitzroy Arms. Not far from the Brunswick St tram. Get off at St Vinnie's hospital and walk to the G via the Fitzroy Gardens.

That's awesome. My parents always visited Percy's Pub over the years when visiting from Tassie and loved chatting with him about the old days. My Dad's cousin was a great mate of Percy's growing up and they loved reminiscing old stories like when a young Percy stowed away in a car boot for a free ride as all their friends and girlfriends went to the drive-in one night. They left Percy in there for half the film and he was banging on the boot, yelling "let me out, ya b*stards!" I'll be sure to take them out to North Fitzroy Arms for a beer and a Parma. Thanks for the tip!

Remains my favourite number nine

Harry needs to be forward and make Swans accountable CANT be playing in the ruck.

[I bleed Blue]

Countdown clock to when we get to watch the mighty Baggers take down the swans

 

[thylacine60]

cept it ain't counting down - I've never been able to get one to do it either - any widget thingy people around so we can sticky that ticking bad boy at the top?

I’d go to war with Toby. Close to the best player in the comp.
When we were at our most successful, he’d be just one of the rat pack that we built our premiership teams on.
To pretend otherwise is hypocritical.

We hated David Rhys-Jones when he played for the Swans, and thought he was a dirty mongrel. When he became a Carlton player we came to love him because he was our dirty mongrel then. Pretty sure the same would be the case if Toby became a Blue. Would love to see it.

So until then **** him!!!

no question - from thug to unfairly misunderstood and targeted..............

 

[gab213]

Random thought…..could Marchy play the JSOS role?
Similar size, more athletic, better mark, probably not the same footy smarts, but could it be worth a try?
As others have mentioned, I think it’s detrimental to TDK when he has to share the duties with Pitto.

Not detrimental to the midfielders who get fed the ball though, Not detrimental to TDK when Pitto absorbs the physical punishment. At this stage, I think that Pitto and TDK are by far our best ruck combination but we will have to see what MC thinks I guess, still a way to go.

 

[rp84]

Hope the players are shitting themselves less than I am.

Hopefully we get to see 2022 Cripps.

Hopefully we get to see that power forwards plus elite defenders wins finals...

Again, myself.
