Tomorrow it still would have been KT at one but Quinlan, West, Dempsey and Beasley could...

Royal and Alvin both played in the 1981 premiership for Bairnsdale so it's got to be him.

I thought that he was dead. The way he lay in the middle of the ground and convulsed I really feared the worse. Barry Stanfield took over ruck duties and gave Justin Madden (who ran through the...

Ironically I was reading a footy book just the other day and it mentioned that it happened to Doug Wade in the late '60s. It was against Carlton I think and cost Geelong the chance to win the game.

Correct. Basically the AFL control the content/running of the clubs' websites through a company called AFLMedia.com which is more or less run by Telstra. It uses Telstra media content and the clubs...

Biggest elbows in the comp!

How is higher scoring automatically better football? Does it then follow that 200 points v 180 points is the greatest game in the history of the sport even if it's a manipulated result? If the game...

It's a conspiracy for sure.

I had his number on my duffle coat in the early '80s. It's a shame he missed so many games in 1985. He would have been the perfect foil for Brad Hardie and the ideal match up for Leigh Matthews in...

Gordon Casey was Chairman of Selectors and an assistant/specialist coach with us for many years too.

I'm in. Although I'm pretty unorganised and inevitably forget to update things after a couple of weeks.

At first I thought the thread title was WOOF ultimate footy camp. That'd be interesting....

My favourite player of all time. Lal was a star. He made good defenders look like fools, they'd all fall over when Les was on the plot. It was like he had trap doors on the ground that he would...

The stupid and frustrating thing is they outlawed third man up, last tactic that combatted congestion, sped the game up and let the good players get the ball with time and space to do something...

5 to 9 baby, 9 to 5. No-one here gets out alive.

OK sir, riddle me this. If I'm still not quite sure what's going on does that make me stupid? What if a teammate runs in, has the ball kicked to him and drops the mark? Is that a free kick to the...

Just before we leave #8 I want to point out that Bonnie Toogood is a bit of a star.

It's not what I've heard and I've got a good contact.

You've been gone for too long mate*. Whitten oval and Geelong are on the same side of the Westgate. The Williamstown Rd exit ramp turns left onto the Westgate bridge. Geelong Rd (as in the Geelong Rd...

They don't call him wispy for nothing. Whispers here and whispers there.

Maybe about the vice captaincy but Snowy on the tram could have told us that Josh was next in line for that. I don't believe he has any great insight to what Dunkley did or didn't think about how we...

There aren't many people in football I despise more than Tim Watson. I care nothing for his opinion about anything to do with our football club.

He can get *!*!*!*!ed as far as I'm concerned.

I am pretty sure that we didn't trade Stu to Geelong. We delisted him and I think that they picked him up in the rookie draft.

I knew I was forgetting a #8 in the tough guy club.

Yeah. I wonder what happened? Paul was a very handy player.

I say that as someone who has probably seen more training sessions than most.

If other clubs want to see our training sessions then they will find a way to see them. We are really only cutting our...

He would have been eligible as a father son recruit which was only 50 games back then. We must have overlooked him or he wasn't interested in following his dad to Footscray.

Alan Rait was a fairly good player for us from Tasmania.

He kicked 10 v Carlton. 59 in 15 games in his first season with bags of 8 and 7 as well as the 10 but only played 4 more games. Gotta be a...

#8 is the tough guys number. Three real hard nuts Rick Kennedy, Bernard Toohey and Mitch Hahn wore it.

Hang on. Pretend I'm stupid and I'm having trouble understanding concept #2, the kick out zone thingy.

Does it mean that when a defender is kicking out that no attacking player will be allowed...

It was the 2016 preseason that the shutters really slammed down. I can remember saying "If we are going to do this then well we'd better win the premiership" and they called my bluff!

By law Brad was too young to be allowed to drink beer on TV. He was under the age of 25 when they filmed the ad. So they famously ended the ad with him toasting all the people who didn't win the...

No membership, no jab.

Yep. That way (as they saw it) there was plausible denial, records weren't kept and Bruce Reid wasn't aware.

It didn't quite work out that way but they haven't given up yet. They still think they...

Bernie is in the Hall of Fame for his Brownlow, 2 X Colemans and 6 X leading club goalkicking awards...

Unlike Kelvin Templeton mumble, gripe who has exactly the same record even though he played...

20.5 games a year, 20.5 disposals a game. Maybe we should give him #20.5?

I was talking to a friend of mine a while ago about going to see Jamarah Ugle Hagan's debut in March just so we can say we were there and we got to talking about Kelvin Templeton's debut. He sent me...

Yep. Anybody who doesn't automatically think that our jumper is the best footy jumper in the world can meet me at the Yarraville cricket nets dispute resolution centre at 7pm most nights. I'll be...

My dear old dad used to accuse me of being right wing because I aligned with Labor Unity and worked to undo socialist control back in my Young Labor days in the '80s.

Happy days!

Go to your room.

Didn't notice the years until just now. The VFA premierships were '23/'24. We were in the VFL by 1925.
