What I love most about Jack is how he turns up each year with a new trick to his bow. He obviously worked on his goalkicking over last summer to the extent that he's become a fairly reliable one goal...

He's so important isn't he? We look so much more solid and reliable with him down back.

What's the new renovation like?

100%. They had heaps of quality but you need a bit of grunt and some resilience too. Some blokes who have had setback and overcome them on their path to a spot on an AFL list. Blokes who have proved...

His story is that after he did his knee in early' 74 he had a falling out with Bob Rose a couple of board members pretty much offered him the coaching job but after he applied the president Dick...

Alrighty. What are three things you learnt tonight against the Carringbush?

That was more with Brisbane than with us though wasn't it?. I mean he was borderline flying with us at times but his truly great footy was with Brisbane.


He still made going to the footy a...

Leon Cameron too. Him and Hawkins both had the advantage of being genuinely at home kicking the ball left and right footed so they could go in either direction and leave the opposition looking a bit...

Looks like it otherwise he'd be ideal. Has he played a game this year?

Well it's over a third of the way through the season already. Tell us three things you learnt tonight.

Only one suburb too.

Tell us four, no, two, sorry make that THREE things you've learnt today v the Bombres!

I'd reckon so too. His newspaper work would be paying him between $150-$200k alone and then there's his TV and radio work on top of that. I think he'd be making closer to $500k PA than $200k.

Go for it, three things you know now that you didn't know before.

The pooch takes photos? Damn ( I resisted the urge to say doggone) that's a talented dog. I'd have introduced him to the Bont for sure.

Or did you want the Bont to take a photo of you and the...

Can't see the attraction with Hird as a senior coach. Apart from the disgrace his shenanigans heaped upon Essendon, his coaching record isn't that good. It's 41-1-42 for a less than 50% winning rate...

I got it.

Back in the late '70s and early '80s we carried more passengers than an airline. We should have gone into logistics.

33 games in 4 years hardly says he's been knocking the door down for AA selection.


Marcus had his moments for us but it's only been 5 games so far this year. Let's wait until season's end to...

We've carried a few.

O dunno about it being just the colours. We have more than a few silky skilled types

I have several memories of him it seemed that every week in 1985 he'd do something extraordinary. But my favourite was at the MCG against Collingwood when it felt like a must win game was in the...

And he wore #9 the same number as Les Bamblett who is flat out my favourite player of all time.

It's Good Friday so tell us three good (or bad) things you've learnt today.

It does sound tasty and financially I probably came out behind but Lindsay Gilbee!

I don't know how they did it but since they bought in VAR the decision making is even worse. I hate it when my team scores now because there is an awful few moments while they review the footage and...

I swapped one of the jumpers from my collection for a Gilbee match worn jumper last year. Good swap I reckon A heritage round long sleeve Cam Wight jumper for a Gilbee sleeveless.

And if I'm not interested in the topic then I just change it to one more to my liking.


Welcome aboard Graham.

And away you go. Round four, three things.

It only took me one post and we were in Africa 150 years ago!

I've got a talent for this sort of thing...

I knew that Belgravia and Prince Imperials and a few more junior clubs had combined to form the senior Footscray football club but I hadn't known about the St John's club that preceded them all until...

Yeah I remember reading that he ignored advice from his company and it left him exposed to the sortie from the Zulu warriors.



The quote I've used is from Charlie Lovett (from Darren Arthur's...

The colours come from the French flag. Around the time the locals were first starting a footy club, Louis-Napoléon, the Prince Imperial of France was killed fighting for the British in the Zulu...

I'm shocked it hasn't occurred to anyone else before now.

The club needs to get with the times. Online ordering and prompt delivery is just expected these days. It's a given that anything you order will be with you within the week. I ordered some comics...

Gary Dempsey left for North around February/March 1979. He was determined to leave by the end of the 1978 season but the two clubs wrangled all through the summer over the transfer deal and I can...

Ah yep. It was up the other end of the ground from us so it was a bit hard to tell what happened in the lead up. I just had a quick look at the replay on the screen in front of us.

Dale

In the forward pocket? He thumped it about 20 metres over the boundary instead of trying to take the mark (which is obviously what the two Sydney defenders were expecting him to do). It was exactly...

Love it! From now on his nickname should be Hulkster. I have a particular hatred of giving our players nicknames of players who played with other clubs.

Dale Weightman was a great player but Cody...

I watched the game from level one around the 50 metre line. It was pretty obvious as the game wore on that the Swans defenders were getting more and more Cody conscious as they ran to contests or...
