He's 57? Yikes!

Double Yikes!

See… that’s why you should stay away from the darts and hard liquor kiddies.

What’s the story with Old Mate?

Old bloke apparently lived in the Arden St grandstand and the boys were being too loud

Hey! That's not what I said!

His forearms are still massive.

Maybe we need to go back to portable rooms and bricks for weights.

Matty Larkin, Germo, Spargo and Rossy Smith were all well built. Johnny Law too

Along with Horse, Duck and Fridge, was a part of the most exciting forward line North (and perhaps the AFL) has ever seen, between the four of them they kicked 254 goals in 21 games, and only Roberts played in all 21.

We didn't win the Premiership in 1993, but it remains my favourite season (outside of the premiership years) because we played the most exhilarating football, it was all out attack all the time. it meant we conceded some high scores, but we also put on some massive totals ourselves. In fact, only once in our first 15 games did we fail to score 100pts and in the first round we allowed the Bears to kick 22 and we still beat them by 4 goals, and that was before McAdam made his debut. It was so much fun being a North supporter back in the 1990's, we had a taste of the exciting times to come in 1990 and 1991, but it really started with the arrival of Pagan and McAdam in 1993.

For all you youngsters, if you ever get a chance, watch the game against Collingwood at Victoria Park (McAdam's finest game), or the West Coast game at the WACA (the arrival of Archer), or the Essendon game at the MCG, I will go to my grave believing the final quarter against the Dons is best football ever played, we made the soon-to-be premiers look inept and out of their depth.

Yep - agree. I’ve also said it somewhere here before about that Essendon game. 8 goals 8 in that last quarter was ballistic

Don't forget Allison,,,,,at one stage all 5 of them were in the top 15 or so of the AFL goal kicking table.

Don't forget Allison,,,,,at one stage all 5 of them were in the top 15 or so of the AFL goal kicking table.

Not in 1993 we didn't, Allison actually had a fairly quiet year in 1993 (compared to the next few) kicking only 21 goals, and six of those were in the final three games. He still finished as our fifth leading goalscorer, but our forward line was dominated by Longmire (75.29 from 20 games), McAdam (68.43 from 17), Carey (64.44 from 19) and Roberts (47.14 from 21).

Outside of our top 4 we had another 7 players reach double figures, Allison 21.16 (21 games), Schwass 14.5 (19), Rock 14.9 (17), German 12.11 (18), Archer 11.4 (20), Romero 10.10 (16) and Crocker 10.10 (16).

In total we kicked 398.242 in only 21 games. We've struggled to reach half that total in the last four seasons.

Jess Sinclair can get stuffed with his sporting abilities and his good looks. I remember being in the rooms and the stunners/groupies latching onto him is etched in my mind

 

[DuckYeah]

I loved Dish, but he would piss me off like no one else in our team..

Got more pigment in his skin than #chadwiko.

What the **** is wrong with you?

I think he’s attracted to Chad, but like a boy in school who likes a girl he’s going about it entirely the wrong way.
Shoot your shot Junky, you never know!

The irony is he seems to think I'm a "fat ginger" and I'm just... not? Like not even close.

I've got nothing against gingers - JY seems to think it's an insult - but it's just a weird thing to come at me over when it's not even close to accurate?

If I'm ginger, what does that make cult-hero Toby Pink?!

 

[king of the road]

I reckon it's Paul Medhurst.

Paul Curtis reminds me a bit of Medhurst in terms of playing style.

Sometimes a line in a post is just next level.

Nice work.

A junk shot, in junk time by Junk Yard it's the cube root of hopelessness.
