Re: Simon Beasley & Nola Sherwell
Busy following his son umpire and a bit disillusioned with the AFL, sounds a bit contradictory I know.
Bring back the biff

That happened often in the 80's.
You'd hear teams that would back themselves to pay for their end of season trip.

Have a faint memory of Dougie betting the trip money against us and we pulled an upset and won.
It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.

V Fitzroy in '83 at Western Oval?
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Didn't Eastcoast Jeans put up some dollars if the club won its last three.
Pretty sure they knocked over the Roys in that period.

That classic Johnny Damon Quote is going to apply to us if we ever salute.

Yep, you're right. I was confusing that game with another.
From memory the sum was $21,000 if we won the last 3 games. We won the first game (came back from 39 points down at Moorabbin at 3/4 time to win it on the siren) but were 4 or 5 goals down against Fitzroy at halftime the week after. The legend goes that the Eastcoast owner walked into the change rooms, stood on a bench and pulled a brown paper bag containing the 21 large out of his pocket and said "win the game and it's all yours boys." We were kicking into a stiff breeze in the third quarter but out scored them easily and won the game.
