    Make Bob an emergency for the grand final

    Wouldn't this be a nice touch , doesn't change the team but gets him a mention as part of this whole year.
    Stupid idea or a serious touch of romance ?
    Just a thought.

    I don't think he would accept. Tend to think it's a bit of nonsense.

      Would take away from someone else and that isn't Bob's way. Nice gesture but too much

        What Topdog said, I don't think Bob would want to take someone's spot in the official line up. It's a nice touch and all but I reckon they will find something for bob to do on GF day.

        He almost looks fit enough to be a water boy. Imagine halfway through the last quarter of a tense grand final and you're hunched over looking for a drink. Wouldn't it be great if it was the captain in exile who ran up and handed it to you?
        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

          Thanks Ledge ... deleted my thread after your link.

          I love this idea ... it needs to happen. He is our spiritual leader and it would be fitting that he is named.

              He's club captain in a Grand Final or Premiership year. He's already in the elite club with Charlie & EJ. I think this might actually detract from a few things. He's in a club of 3 with Charlie & EJ, that says everything to me.

                No. I doubt Bob would want to draw attention to himself by being an emergency. I also doubt that the MC would do this despite the sentiment.

                We should select 3 fit emergencies who could cover a wide range of contingencies at the last minute if needed.

                No mucking around. we are here to win a premiership.
