    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    What a great guy. Loved watching him in our colours. Too courageous for his own good.

    Who was the last one in to the 2016 team i.e. who replaced Lin? Was it Roberts? McLean?

    Not sure but Suckling was an omission later in the finals series with a leg injury.

    Still think a fit Jong is in our best 22. Great mark for his size, especially down the line in a contest. Invaluable come Finals time, aside from his toughness.

    More importantly, seems like a great person too. Hope Lin has left the Club as a better person then when he arrived, because he sure as hell made the Club better overall.

    When he arrived he was an 18 year old kid, just finished year 12 and we rookied him. He was on our table at the season launch and he was a shy bloke, but I could tell he was a nice bloke as well.

    I think it went Jong to McLean for the hawks and then Suckling to Roberts for GWS. No change for the grand final.

    Wasn't Suckling injured? Achilles from memory.

    He put his hand up for the Grand final, but he missed the prelim with injury.

    Still my favourite East Timorise/Taiwanese player ever.

    Now you're making things up. Nobody in their right mind would want this.

    Never quite got the continuity he needed.

    All the best for the future Jongy and well done on persisting for so long.
