[dogs105]

What were the results of A Jarman v Modra?

34-0

 

[dogs105]

Can we have a new poll please relapse, brucetiki, Scorpus, CrowinNT, Drugs Are Bad Mackay? ?


Thanks again!

McDermott had a big mouth, he never polled too well in SANFL either compared to the games he had

The sooner they get rid of you blokes the better!

Nek minnut... presenting A McGuiness, your new captain.

 

[El Doederino]

I voted Betts

I feel like the Crows never got the best of McDermott. A shame we didn't enter the AFL 10 years earlier. We would have had a sexy team in the 80's.

Never really rated Robran, luckily, neither did Wallace in that Prelim. Maybe I'm being harsh but he was my whipping boy back in the day.

Stiffy though, he always stood up and even though he was a bit fatter than the usual player (which probably explains his female fan base) he would often fit himself through the smallest of gaps and at the end of the day would come on top of the opposition. Great player Stiffy

I loved Stiffy
That foot shuffle he had

I still remember the game against the Blues at Optus when he ran through half a dozen blue baggers and then delivered to the forwards

He went head to head with the Vic's best midfielders in those epic 80s State of Origin battles and stacked up very well

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Robran is such a difficult player to evaluate I find

 

[Sanders]

He is.

The perennially disappointing Stiffy isn’t though.

 

[skam85]

This is probably the first genuinely tough matchup
Both were very serviceable but Robran gets the nod for that big game prelim performance.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

He is.

The perennially disappointing Stiffy isn’t though.

What was the disappointing bit? That he didn't develop into a midfielder?

The half back springboard was a trademark of ours for years, plus he was good defensively

His last couple of years tailed off admittedly

 

[CrowinNT]

He is.

The perennially disappointing Stiffy isn’t though.

I don’t think so overall
His later years were questionable like many others
I recall a time the disappointment came when he was kicking into play out of defence
Sprayed the kick ins to opposition
Maybe a number of OOF
Got to his head space and demoted from this role

Just from my memories

 

[FR0GGY]

Saw stiffy in January over in Lincoln, what a ripper he was!

Yeah, look I probably was a bit harsh on him. But equally his lack of fitness and commitment to professional standards meant he never hit the heights he was capable of

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

In an ideal world, Stiffy would be a super sub legend after his 2012 prelim goal.

cutting down to just one pack a day not enough of a sacrifice for you? You're a hard man Harland.

After that goal, I actually allowed myself to believe.

Then 30 seconds later had my heart ripped out again.
