      Glad we cleared that one up. I'll let my brother know. He was good mates with Silvo at school.

            Got my copy today. The introduction by Peter Gordon is just superb - absolutely nails it.

            My favourite photos? The two of Tom Boyd kicking hos long bomb and the post siren shot of Caleb Daniel about to embrace Biggsie. Captured moment Gold Medal - pure joy.

              The cost of the booklet was $40 at the Bulldog Shop, but $32 at the In the Kennel function (20% off).

              It may still be at that discounted cost at Thursday's Social Club function.

              Just a thought for those thinking of purchasing a copy.
