Don't be so hard on yourself, on second thoughts your right - you are an absolute clownshow.

I thought we were more a sh*t show than a clown show

Just think that Merrett has to go to half back and impact the game from back there… we desperately need it, and his skill set could be just as damaging:

1. Our disposal out of back half is shocking
2. Our organisation is sporadic and lacks leadership which Merrett would provide (sorry Andy but this means relinquishing the VC)
3. Merrett can then inject himself into the midfield as he sees fit mid game
4. Frees Martin to be on a wing/half forward/Roberts can also help fill void

That then allows Parish, Calders and Durham clarity as our first picked mid rotation.

Then Tsatas, Hobbs and (Shiel, Setters, Perkins) as the second group.

That makes sense for me.

Interesting in his chat with Sarah he alluded to more positional flexibility next year to accomodate the likes of Caldwell and Hobbs in the midfield.

My bad. Ok here goes: Well done Bluey for being a ️ supporting your boy who has won 5 - that’s right - 5 Crichton medals.

Happy with that?

Indeed.

Simon Madden broke The great man’s game record. I stood under the Dick Reynolds stand to be a bit closer to the festivities. The Great man walked past, I asked him for an autograph, all I had on me was a 50 dollar note, he happily signed AND kept the 50 !! How good was that ?!
What could I do ? Chase the great man whilst standing under his own grandstand ??
I let it go. Ten minutes later, the great man returned laughing his head off, returned the 50…..” had you going young fella”…..
Pure gold.

Could have added a bit of mayo to spice it up a bit

Mods can we update the thread title please.

Something along the line of "Bluey's boy wins 5th Crichton medal" would suffice.

In Robbo's top 50 he rated Zach at No: 33.

Just had a look at the Readers top 50 and they rate (as of today) him at No:5.

Please note, I only voted once

I now need to ask why. Personally I would have framed it.. and the grass.

Or maybe I would've smoked the grass.

The 50 was used out of necessity. I did hold onto it for awhile, more than likely spent it, thought about it…” ****, that was King Richards 50”…..yeah, not good.

I saw some post somewhere where a "patron" at Augusta was sitting near the famous 13th tee and a divot feel near him...he took it home and had it growing very healthy in a pot. Genius.
