    Griffo plays his 250th this weekend.

    We were fed a lot of BS in my opinion on him leaving. I would love to know the real story behind the whole saga.

    His selfishness helped shape our flag. Thanks for running away Ryan

    Never heard of him.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Well, I for one wish him all the best. I am really happy to see him get through a few years that have been pretty wrecked with injury to get to 250.

    The breakup may have been terrible, but when he was with us he was my favourite player and he gave his all on the field.

    Loved the Griff. And good to see Higgo is finally able to put those injuries behind him. And all the best to jake with his future. Far more important than his footy.

    But i can never forgive Alastair Ford.

    Or Jakovich coming back from Christmas break looking as if we had spent his time away locked up in a pie factory.

    Or Richard Osborne signing with us with much fanfare and then missing some preseason because he wanted to trial for the NFL.

    Mixed feelings seeing this article about Shaun Higgins. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/...07-p4zk66.html

    He seemed like a guy who could never get his body right and whose potential would never be fulfilled. It’s a shame that he never got to his best with us and is only now playing career best footy. Whatever else you could say about him, his ball use and skills would be handy right now. Is it simply luck or is Nth’s injury management superior? They’ve also done remarkably well with Waite.

    That cost Terry Wheeler his job.

    He might be the son of Terry's brother Garry who played a handful of games with us. Unless there is another brother.

    I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that Willie is Garry's son. And if I recall correctly Garry was killed in an industrial accident at a sawmill back in the 1980s.
