    What football used to be like - sometimes.

    I came across this just now. Big Carl was suspended 19 times BEFORE they had video reviews. "The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there."

          The authorities should have rubbed him out for life. He didn't play football, he was just a thug

              And it was almost always blokes half his size. Little rovers or half forward flankers that wouldn't weigh 10 stone wringing wet. If blokes like Stewie Gull or Ricky MacLean were in the opposition "big" Carl would go missing.


              I read a match report about the 1971 Grand Final the other day. Among other things it says that the first half was played without the ball and that Alan Jeans blames Ditterich for the loss because he basically went missing in the first half when the rough house tactics were taking place. He told him after the game that one quarter of football isn't going to win a flag.
              They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                  Agree BAD,
                  his intention was never the ball, it was always to hurt a opposition player as much as he could.
                  It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.

                      He missed out on the Saints only flag because he was rubbed out for 6 weeks for jobbing Daryl Peoples of Fitzroy.

                          In a game that St Kilda won by 84 points so it wasn't like thumping one of the opposition players was going to win them the game or anything. What an idiot.
