Re: The Dead Eye DickSon Counter
It's a good advertisement for our footskills. But the moment commentators start lauding a player's kicking ( note yesterday, Bob Murphy ) they will miss! Just keep a 2-3 goal a game average for us, all good!

Re: The Dead Eye DickSon Counter
If he missed to the left and missed out on the streak, but won the game by a point and got us into the top four, or through a prelim, who would care? I hope he gets it as an aside but only as an aside.

Re: The Dead Eye DickSon Counter
While it would be nice for him to claim the record, it is really an irrelavant stat.
I would certainly prefer him kicking 5 goals 2 than 2 goals straight any week ...every week.

1. It's some fun.
2. It generates press and interest which is good for our club.
3. Now every other team knows that you can't ignore him if Boyd, Crameri or Syringer are going ok. I hope it spooks them that 5 touches by Tory is enough for them to lose. Hopefully some fear and/or hurt factor about matching him up.
4. Any record for this club in a positive way is a good thing.
5. It's some fun.
6. Imagine the players and crowd if he breaks it. Worth the price of admission and a big crowd. Or so we can market it.
7. It's some fun.

That was the best non-bulldogs game i've ever been to. Great to see young Roughy blocking CHB with a few minutes to go.

Well, I guess it's a thing now. Sportsbet have opened a market on how long the streak goes.

Hi Tory's mum.
Excellent, that 9.0 message for the next match should get straight through then!

What are the odds?
Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.
