I think being linked with us, he started to imagine life as a bulldog, working with the likes of Libba, Treloar and you know who, putting the ball in space for Marra and Naughts, training with his mate Charlie. Despite his best efforts he probably started to get a bit invested in that potential reality. It probably could have happened with just about any club but I think having the Bont and Clarke would have made us especially appealing.

Re: WOOF Welcomes Ryley Sanders to the Kennel
Sanders is heavier than Croft.
Matthew had big hips and thighs with not so huge torso, like English.
Lower centre of gravity and powerful pegs.
It is amazing how we were so low after missing finals, loss of belief yet hope springs eternal with youth and its promise and the work the club has done since.
Kudos to Chris Grant who refused offers to leave after a Bulldog kid sent twenty cents, now as offfield leader.
Is it a bird, isit a plane?
No it's Chris Grant!
I remember Chris Grant late in his career, twirling out of a late seen tackle on the fifty arc and getting the kick away.
A favourite skill of mine is a late twirl out of traffic to space and freedom for further skills like a lace out delivery.
A rare gem to remember.

Chris Grant is more Roger Ramjet than Superman.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Not when you're born in '54 and Superman had Chris Grant's square jaw plus Superman fought for truth, justice and the Footscray way.

Can't stand U.S. gun culture or yank tv or movie culture.
U.S. literature is brilliant but the predominant popular culture, especially take away food is the pits, spew.
Who in Footscray would want to perpetuate that!
B4life it is not the KFC culture I dislike, it is the unthinking morons who want to call Ryley "Colonel" to own him!
Would you like to be called colonel when you have lived your life as a proud Tasmanian Sanders?
