    And his great uncle. Did his dad play for North?

    I'm trying to think of another player like Gowers who's dad played at a different club to son and then Billy's grandad played for Richmomd, So it's us, Hawthorn and Richmond through the three generations. Are the Spargos the same? Footscray/North/Melbourne.

    *i looked it up and Paul Spargo did play for North and Brisbane and Paul is Charlie's dad. So another 3 club Granddad/father/son at 3 different clubs
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?


    I have, yeah Ted, you big gobshite

    Yes Paul played for North. Pretty sure we discussed this before, I need to refresh my memory.

    EDIT: Bob and Ricky Spargo played for Footscray, Bob's son played for North and now his son plays for Melbourne

    My god I love Essendon losing and Daniher being useless , he finds a new way to stuff up every week, loved his punch into the goal square.
    And watching Stringer not chase and dawdle along as his opposition player runs off him is a week to week happening.

    Jeez, after winning the trade period premiership Essendon's going so badly the record reflects they're as shithouse as us.

    Wonder if the scribes'll go them accordingly.

    Yeah right.

    Winning trade period and extending the coach’s contract!

    2nd quarter , saad drops a simple chest mark , gets tackled and melbourne kick a goal . Stringer kicks 1.1

    Yep if thatÂ’s the best for their recruits they can win trade week every time

    2nd quarter they weÂ’re incapable of laying a tackle .Â’the honesly do not have a midfield other than heppell
    And merrett

    Did we get essendonÂ’s 2nd round pick for stringer , which we used for richards?
    I never realised footy could be a comedy and a farce (essedon ). The good thing about melb winning is that it gives them a sense of hope. They were woeful in the first quarter and did not look like kicking a goal until 3 essendon defenders fell on TOP of each other

    Bob Spargo wore number 8 and was a terrific centreman. Had tons of pace. I think he made a Stawell Gift final.
    He went over to the west as playing coach gor one of the WAFL clubs. He was a great loss.

    Richmond looked good. The Pies tried very hard but still got done by seven. The Pies kept on attacking right to the end so Tigers got some easy goals at the death.

    Number 8, the tough man's number. Ricky Kennedy, Danny Southern, Bernard Toohey and Mitch Hahn have all worn number 8 and you wouldn't want to see any of those guys them bearing down on you if you had the ball.

    In short that's true, but the Stringer trade did result in a pick upgrade that ultimately got us Richards.

    We traded Stringer for 25 and 30,
    We then traded 28, 30 and 2018 2nd rounder for Carltons 16 and 40,
    We then traded 25 and 40 for Scache.

    The net result was 16 (Richards) and Schache in for Stringer, 28 and 2018 2nd rounder.
