    Good idea. I don't mind if I do.


    It's hard to imagine Leon Cameron being that stressed and spooked by booing that he would take time out from preparing for the most important game of his life immediately before the game to discuss it with an AFL official. He played with Libba for heavens sake back in the day when Tony had half the crowd wanting to jump the fence and take a pop at him so the booing got a bit loud whenever he got the ball at places like Princes Park and Kardinia Park and Moorabbin.

    Unless he picked some bad habits up from his time playing for Richmond. Speaking of Cameron's time at Richmond. Did we pick Robert Murphy with the pick we got from Richmond for Leon Cameron? And Ryan Hargrave I think. It was pick 37 and 66 from memory. Maybe it was Mitch Hahn and Ryan Hargrave?

    What a great read that was. I hope to catch up soon on all the articles posted on the Dogs Day board.

    Can barely write this thru tears of joy. How I'd love to relive those four games live again....will have to be satisfied with the second best option and watch the 4 replays instead!
    Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.

    Jeez I've watched the replays a lot. In a lot of ways, the WCE game is the most inspiring. We went into that game with questionable form and massive outsiders, but the way we hit those contests was ferocious. We blew the Eagles away.

    As great as the other games were, they were vindications of what we showed that day - the first final was the one that changed everything. The post match celebration was probably the most passionate too. Even thinking about it gets the adrenalin going.

    We really weren't meant to win that game and by doing so it's almost like we overthrew fate in a way. All the things we couldn't do and all the failures of the past just stopped applying to this team.

    It's like a fantasy game where a character who died and came back to life is the only one who can prevent a catastrophic event (in this case it would be a GWS premiership) because the they're released from the bonds of fate.

    Yeah much as I like the idea of GWS complaining to Daddy I'm not sure it's true.

    Nah Murphy was a top 10 pick
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    The more I read this, the more I'm left thinking if we're all talking about the same Leon Cameron.

    I can't help but feel that it was an off the cuff remark that has been twisted around, or that it never actually happened.

    This isn't out of a desire to protect anyone from GWS, but I just can't see a person of Cameron's professionalism getting sidetracked by something like this.

    His coaching tells it all - teaching GWS players to be snipers.
