Rumour End Of Season Gossip Part 2

Do you think Stanton will nick votes off him? He was flying during their winning steak.

If him, then only him. Deledio, Tuck and Ivan are dangers to Cotch.
Watson had a few ordinary games, but was invariably Essendon's best by daylight.
In the B&F, Cotch was maybe BOG 3-4 times

Didnt that nearly happen one year but the guy finished 2nd or 3rd? Just cant remember who.

You must definitely know who wins the Brownlow, eh.
You'd be given notice to avoid spending time on doing preparations for it in false anticipation... surely...

Player Team Votes

Kelvin Templeton Footscray 23
Merv Neagle Essendon 20
Rod Blake Geelong 19
Peter Moore Collingwood 18
Tim Watson Essendon 17
Chris Smith Fitzroy 16
Leigh Matthews Hawthorn 16
Mark Lee Richmond 16
Keith Greig North Melbourne 15
Gary Dempsey North Melbourne 15

Chris Smith led at the half way mark in 1980, was flying, potentially major embarrassment as he was at home in his jarmies at the time.

Also mentions that White, TD and Post are in talks about remaining at the club. Or not...

Was Swan about 3 years back. Got out to an early lead, then got hauled in, was at a Mad Monday.

wasn't he home or something dressed in a superman costume?

Thought it was Spiderman, could be wrong.

i have no issue at all with bringing in "no frills" players from other clubs! Sydney have been doing it for years and make it work out just fine.... I'd Die for the Richmond footy club but i am envious of the culture that Sydney has developed and if we end up with a similar culture to them i'd be over the moon!
look at it this way, in the good old days GR went around signing players from all over the place to add to our playing list, we now call those times "the good old days".

Not an attack on you, but those good old days has seen us remain a basket case for the best part of 30 years because of that GR culture.
But I will admit, Sydney's return rate on re treads is bloody good. Some blokes I never thought would be at a consistent good level just do it, week in, week out. Already going for the bloods next week. Couldn't give a flying about tonight's game.

yer the those GR ways let to great times indeed, and yes they did also sadly drag us down the the depths we reached in the end of that era also.
i just admire the way Sydney manage to get "no frills" players seemingly on the outer at thier clubs and transforming them into great players. topping up thier list each year to fill needs which is i think is what we are now doing also and if it works the same way it'd be fantastic!
