Wish I was around during this time to witness that 85 season when we nearly won. I know the names but it was all happening a couple of years before I was born

It was a good year that ended very badly. Keep an eye out for number 9. The second goal is a thing of beauty.

Yeah 10 point loss in that prelim the start of getting into there and falling at that stage until 2016.

Just looking at this footage at about 3.40 there is a passage of play where Bruce Reid kicks it to Terry DeKoning. What's unusual about that?

Quick hint is Brian Cordy

Well back to Collingwood and round 1 we know Beams is out.
Is Moore available as he causes us headaches, doesn’t look like Cox will play, he enjoys playing us as well.

I was at that game and thought what an idiot doing that. I was also disappointed as I really liked Brad as a player.

Princes Park?

Lally was my first and still favourite player so quick to pounce on a loose ball. Such a shame he never parlayed more footy.

I heard a story that when Terry Wheeler was appointed coach one of the first things he did was to reach out to Lall to see if he was still interested in playing footy and if he was then come down for the pre-season (he would only have been 27 or so) Les arrived and let's just say his skin folds werent the best they had ever been, the exact quote was "he was the size of the side of a barn" according to the person who told me the story.
