Get to know your Hawks Board posters better

[Strapping Young Lad]

Edit: best hawks game ever I just rewatched on YouTube, round 6 1989 v cats. As molly would say if you don’t recall or dont know about it, do yourself a favour

Gavin Excel with 9 goals!

One of my footy claims to fame is keeping him quiet in a GF to help us win a flag, after he’d kicked 112 goals for the year in 18 games.

He still kicked 5*.

* I always claim 2 or 3 were from Joe the gooses.

Mike is a bit risky. Not sure he plays well with others, and he might just take a dump on the dinner table.

I have to ask...what did you do?

Drove a car bought from a bloke at a pub with rego plates from an abandoned wreck and a hand drawn sticker. The local copper was unsurprisingly not fooled. But he did get the cold shoulder from the front bar at the New Brighton for being too harsh on me.

When I was living with my grandparents on their farm as a teenager my pop would get sent over the world snooker championships on video tape. Saw footage of O’Sullivan as a 15/16 year old making a 147 in a junior competition. It would of been roughly the same year that Jimmy White made the second 147 break in the world championships.
