South Cairns into granny probably waiting for that one

Are they flying Cody Schutt up there?

 

[TheGreatBambino]

I find it strange there hasn’t been anything in the Media confirming Creswell at JFO.
Plenty of talk it’s happening but nothing been announced from the Club

You’d hope they wouldn’t announce anything whilst the netballers are still in finals.

Yep, fair point.
Great effort by them

Study1, I am curious about your Ablett backyard story? Gaz and I wound up playing table tennis in a garage in Myrtleford, must’ve been 1982, the neighbours wild German Shepherd jumped a 7ft fence and started trying to maul us, long story short, Gaz restrained it, threw the thing on his shoulders and jumped the fence and returned the dog. Vertical leap, never seen anything like it, he was from another planet. He was very reserved, but if you got in his space he’d let you know, we got on well.

Big Larry .
I have not heard this yarn before

 

[stuyd1]

He used to throw the Wild Pigs around like they were mice so throwing a German Shepherd over his shoulder would be nothing Laz

Mike Sheehan interview with John Barnes ,, google it and watch ,, Barnsey tells the yarn when he and Ablett were out wild pig hunting ...I will not say no more ,, just watch it

Ablett, Barnes, Big Larry - Alphabetical order, all would have roomed together!

It’ll be worth going on Sunday just to watch the battle between Josh Minogue and Jace McQuade.

Did McQuade play the remainder of last weekends game? I heard on the wireless he hurt an ankle as did dayman

He went off in the second quarter. I’m assuming he’ll play.

You scuffled with Ablett? I didn’t think so, as strong as an ox. My favourite quote was Peters one about Wangaratta players taking pay cuts for team success, absolute classic, the only thing cut were the envelopes.

Stop it! Why would I scuffle with Ablett you dill?! To the average man of course it would be a silly mistake but to say Ablett was toweling up a professional boxer, and a world champion at that, is just absolutely clueless and utter nonsense. Bit like your predictions to be honest

correct .. Lester was about to go into a world title fight so when his coachs etc saw Ablett belting him with big powefful punches so they pulled the pin ..
You obviously are not aware of Abletts fighting ability ,, I could tell you some facts about 3 backyard blues Ablett had many years ago ,, frightening ..
But lets leave it alone hey

No I won’t leave it alone because it’s a ridiculous comment! Blueing in a backyard and fighting professionally at world level are two completely different things you carrot! Do you know what sparring is or you taking a guess? Hardly any big powerful punches thrown! Jesus, seriously

Are North likely to make any changes to their line up ?

Would they consider bringing in Z.Hanrahan to go up against Gaston & Dayman, to free up Weidemann.

Maybe ask a few cats player from 80s and 90s what Gazza was like in the ring

 

[BigLarry76]

You really think Daz is thinking about the netball this week? He’s meticulous with his timing on all fronts, he’s got his own fish to fry whilst staying respectful to some other close companions.

 

[BigLarry76]

Broomhead forced to play out of position, two drubbings in their last two encounters, how does that play in to their psych? The countdown is on, all in good time.

Oh ok. I’ll do that he might’ve been good, for a footballer

If they got into the ring in a fair dinkum bout Ablett wouldn't last the first round. A few well placed and damaging body shots by Lester Ellis might even put him in hospital... Ablett would be swatting flies in the ring!

 

[BigLarry76]

Ablett was a brawler, forget the technical stuff in the ring. Gloves off in an alleyway and Lester has a mouthful of gravel with a popped eyeball. Completely fearless and contrary to what some believe, highly intelligent.

 

[BigLarry76]

I’d much rather fight Lester, a headlock with brute force and he’d be asleep pretty quickly.

 

[stuyd1]

So your tips guys for tmorrow ,, Rovers or Hoppers .
I think Rovers by 5 goals

 

[Trent the flight Steward]

Rovers bounce back and win by 4 goals

Highly intelligent? He certainly managed to hide that pretty well. What’s he done after footy?
