PLUS Your club board comp is now up!
Maatttteeee loosen the grip before the head pops off. As much as I enjoy your mostly biased comments and knowledge of years gone by, I feel for the rest of the rovers community for how rediculous you make them look
Just remembered Rudy Yonson at North Albury and Tim Scott at Albury ,, both went onto play for the SWANS ,, ONLY A 2 OR 3 GAMES ,,
Les Parish one of the great blokes
Agree ,, as I said the list was very much a quick think of so to speak .. since I posted the list Ive already thought of about 8 more ...lol
2002, the one that got away, we went in favourites, beat NA only a fortnight prior. Had some aging body’s, Stabber was over 40, Pas, Matty Allen and Walker all would’ve been over 35. Big Karlos had just come back in to town from Glenrowan, polled well in the league count, best half back flanker I’ve ever seen in the O&M, more than held his own tussling with Bomber Hilton. Our thirds went undefeated for the year, Jamie won the league medal as a 15 year old, Nige, big Alipate, Macca had future stars coming out of his ears. Mullins was floating about, wasn’t quite there at senior level. It still hurts today let me tell you, that’s footy.
Was it 2002 when big Aaron Schenk was running around for the Hawks? I remember he had a few really good seasons there with one of his knees pretty much held together by a rubber band. Was a man mountain and lumbered around the ground, but gee did he work hard both ways and at ground level for a bloke his size. Don’t see big men like that anymore. They are all pretty athletic and skillful now for the most part.
Myself and three others went down to pick Albury apart in the preliminary, NA jumped them, 8 goal buffer in the first, we quickly knew NA meant business, our focus shifted to a very young NA side. Bush was knocked out cold, kicked a bag, Albury being the scumbags they are couldn’t contain him so they eventually bought him. We lacked firepower in the forward half, I was eyeing off Lang from Wangaratta, he was the missing piece , they’d just won a wooden spoon, unfortunately it wasn’t to be. History shows how quickly things can turn.
Surely you wouldn’t have needed an entourage big fella.
I think you’d find that the big 4 might have a few but the majority of the other sides would battle to have one. The attitude might be what is the point of hanging around without hope of a flag now. Loyalty isn’t a thing any more either.
I reckon you would be surprised.
Kuschert be over 40 wouldn’t he?
Big Larry ,, I hear you .. makes me think and ask ,, players at that age , would they of made the sideS be it 1975 or 1980 , 1985 . 1990 ? Interesting to hear yours and fellow posters opinions !!!
