God i hope not. Only 25 years since their last flag. Long may the decline continue.

Granty. He just played at such a high level for such a long time all over the ground. Emerging at the same time as Carey, who was probably the greatest CHF of all time meant that he may not have...

Yep Murphy. Jimmy Sewell was a very handy no. 2 as was Stevie Kolyniuk.

Ok so i will just go from the time ive followed them circa 1970.

Yep would have to be Purser. So consistent and just a pity he didn't come over from WA sooner.
Minton-Connell was more than...

Thanks for all the great work Merantau. Really appreciate it.

Absolute legend. Best ruckman since Dempsey. Had a knee reco before we recruited him. The story goes that North would have signed him on a 'form 4' but they turned up a day late.

Players walked...

That's why i prefer paper tickets.

For anyone interested, our vflw team play North at Arden Street this Sunday at 9.30
I'm sure you won't have to book a ticket with ticketmaster for this one.

Pritchard, Gutkneckt, Morris-Dalton, Lagioia, Strahan played also. I guess it works the same as the men's comps in that the afl listed player will not appear on the vfl playing list.

VFLW _ One that might have slipped under the radar, round one was played on the weekend and the dogs beat the hawks by 36 points. Hawthorn not having any AFLW players may have given us an...

In the process of trying to get tickets.
The last 2 weeks of trying to get aflw tickets has been a schmozzle as well. I had the blue spinning wheel for 5 hours last Wednesday...

Collingwood top of the ladder.

Really look forward to 'Hot Dogs, Cold Pies' next Sunday.

It's just such a great atmosphere.
Sat on the outer flank. We were right behind Toogood when she turned her opponent inside out on the boundary and kicked the running goal. Superb.
The...

Likewise. Replay?

Good atmosphere at the ground. So good to be able to barrack at the ground rather than on the couch. And no commentators.
Great to have Hannah Scott back for her first game of the year. The...

Off to the game. Who knows how many games/visits to wo will be possible this year.
We've had some great clashes with the demons in the past. From memory we won a tight one in 2018 that got us to...

I remember being at the western oval in about 1990 and Hopkins did a lap of honour in the back of a car. He was into his '80's and still playing golf up on the Murray.
Good old banana legs.

First game back I'm going to begin the chant:

"RAISE THE HOOPS"
"RAISE THE HOOPS" ....

Envious of those that got to go to the game. For a crowd of 3000 there was a good atmosphere. Good to see Bont in the crowd as well.

What a effing awesome photo. Even moreso in black and white.
If i was a Tayla Harris parents, that photo would be going straight to the bar room wall.

Agreed.
A lot of inexperience in that team. The backline withstood some extreme pressure for the last ten minutes. Last year they would have lost this game.
Lamb takes so many hits but just keeps...

Yep smaller ball. Size 4?

A lot of positives but couldn't bring it home. Let the saints play their passing game which is normally our style. Not sure where Hannah Scott is but she is definitely needed down back.
Blackburn...

Yep, beating us on the deck. The goal on the siren gives us a chance. Have got to win the centre breaks as our backline can look vulnerable.

saints by 13 half time.

They outplayed us that qtr. beaten out of the centre. will have the wind in the 3rd

Dogs by a couple of points at qtr time.
We had the better of the play but a couple of silly 50's cost us a couple of goals.
Toogood and Huntington looking dangerous up forward.

Agree. Lamb would surely play on ball tonight.

With today's rain it could be the Moorabbin of old.

St kilda were impressive in their first season. Will take a good effort from our young team to get over the top of them. A lot will rest on...

Yes. Only missed one or two since the mid 80's.
PG is always interesting to listen to and he answered most of the questions with Ameet answering the balance.
Bains indicated that the club is in...

Such a great feeling that someone so highly rated is coming to the kennel and there's nothing other clubs can do to stop it.
The media has built him up so much i'm sure there is some that will have...

I'd prefer he keep the #35.
We have a lot of legends with the low numbers. I'd like to see some created wearing the big numbers. Loved Libba snr in the number 39.

I don't think numbers who such a big deal in those days. For kids that had gone through the aftermath of WW1 and the depression, i imagine just having a mangy jumper would have been enough.
In...

From memory, he decided to return to W.A. for business reasons. Had plenty of good football left in him.

Purser was the most perfect specimen of a footballer. He never had a hair out of place, never raised a sweat, never looked fatigued but always played to a high consistent level.

Welcome aboard Boots. Always room on the tricolour bandwagon on one condition. Once you get on, you stay on through thick and thin.

So you arrive in Melbourne in January 2016? That 9 month wait...

I'm having a block of granite delivered to the kennel tomorrow and taking to it with my chisel set.

Wow, what a November.
First Donald
Then Dodo
All i want now is for Dan to let me unmask and i'll be over the moon.

**Sam power about to come on sen.

Looks like the pies are paying 300k/year of Treloar's salary.

Love standing on the grassed area. More traditional so would hate to lose it to more concrete.
