But I do vividly remember EJ Jr bursting away from centre bounces and planting the ball on Kelvin Templeton's chest. Ted was the second best kick to a lead that I ever saw after Doug Hawkins.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

But here's my way of dealing with sleepless nights especially now with all the excitement and anticipation leading in to the grand final.
It's a version of counting sheep.
I close my eyes....... and internally put on the Craig Willis voice, (voice of the 'G) and I announce the premiership medallions innn a order....
So please put your best a Craiggggga a Willisssa voice on and get going.
aaah number. aaah one..... aah....... Adammmma atreloarrrrrra.
I did it in 2016. And it worked. And we won.
you will sleep the sleep of angels.
Feel free to try it. This a free WOOF health initiative and is not means tested. Not available to Melbourne supporters.
I thought I’d give this a try last night. Was working well until I got to #36 and for the life of me I couldn’t get passed it, with my mind suddenly racing trying to work through our list to establish who after Brad Lynch departed now has the #36. I was stumped and after grappling with it had to get up to to find the answer off my phone, which of course it’s currently un-allocated.

However I had a home invasion a few years and live in a bit of a dodgy inner city Sydney area, but I still sleep well because of my housemate Maddie.
Maddie is a large, razor sharp meat cleaver.
Surry Hills DR? Stayed there a few years back. Interesting characters.

A key part of the success of this strategy is not trying to be perfect haha

Re: Insomnia between now and the Grand Final
When I can't sleep I pretend that I'm bowling to Mark Taylor and commentate it in my head. I'm usually fast asleep in no time.

Re: Insomnia between now and the Grand Final
I do the same but with vfl/afl premiers since 1897.

Jose Romero? I'm surprised that you missed him!
I think that Peter Baxter wore #26. Darren Baxter wore #35 from memory.
