Re: Future Father/Sons

More will come off aza. Higgins will go which means another spot. There might be a+/- in terms of player trades also.

Re: Future Father/Sons

With Jones indicating he wants a move to Carlton there is another spot opening up.

Re: Future Father/Sons

I dunno about you guys but im nervous as hell, Harry Dear being drafted by the Hawks and we get Jayden Foster? There is no way in hell Jayden will ever be allowed to play against the hawks.

Can you expand on this ReLoad? What do you mean?

Many moons ago Paul Dear "tripped" Peter Foster at the Western Oval. Dear got suspended for four weeks(?) and Foster got a broken leg, missed well over a year, shortened his career and shot our finals campaign.

Re: Future Father/Sons

In 1992 our defence was Bernard Toohey stopping blokes and Peter Foster marking everything. That was it.

Like Azabob said its a family honour thing. Sort of like a bloodfeud.

He certainly did. Same day, he also tried to take Glenn Coleman's head off with a round arm after Coleman had marked it. Coleman ducked it and looked stunned at what had happened. He paused in relief and the crowd let out a collective "oooohh". I remember it like yesterday. Paul Hudson played for them. We won and were flying.

Paul Dear was on something that day. He ran around like a thug. Hated him ever since. It was tragic what he did to Fossie. I believe the break became infected and he only managed another handful of games afterwards. Fossie was a great player for us. Late bloomer and I'm keen to get his kid.

I had a look at him IN the TAC Cup GF. Presents well on the lead etc etc, (as you'd expect from the comp's leading goal kicker) but the thing that impressed me most was his work rate. His chasing and tackling and competitiveness once the ball hit the ground was great. (Puts one L Jones to shame!). I was also pleased to see that he isn't just one of those man-child types who's filled out faster than other kids -thus dominating. He's got plenty of filling out to do. I think he'll make something of himself. I really do.

Re: Future Father/Sons

From all accounts his dad is a top bloke, so I imagine he would bring his son up with a good head on his shoulders.
Last I heard was Peter runs a successful cleaning business in the western suburbs.

I agree. I thought he moved well, not awkwardly, contested well and generally played ok. To me he is someone who is mobile and reads the play well. Would be good enough to play down back.

I reckon Tony Campbell was pretty good that year.
Hated the bloke at Melbourne, as well as that germ Jackson .

Fossie had a rod put into that leg and came back 4 weeks later !
Unfortunately after the game he returned his leg became infected and he was never the same player.

I don't know why, because I didn't normally do it, but I stood behind the goals at the Barkly St end that day. Opposition supporters didn't think much of Campbell, I can tell you! The things that were said to Campbell stick with me to this day!

He had the slicked back hair and the gloves, was probably a bit underdone fitness wise and carried himself in a way that looked a bit pompous. Seemed to rub opposition the wrong way. He was also pretty central to the "glove phenomenon" at the time - which had the traditionalists howling. I could understand it, because I didn't like him much when he was at Melbourne, but, jeepers creepers, the Hawthorn fans were pretty ordinary towards him! Imagine the WORST POSSIBLE things! I remember thinking "Geez, does he cop this sort of stuff every week?"

He was good on Dunstall that day and was good for us all of that year. In fact, most of our blokes were good. Foster's leg and Wynd's knee cost us a GF berth. I'm sure of that. If Paul Dear were here, I'd give him some of the Campbell treatment!

That's spot on, now that I think of it. He did get a rod and it ended up a cock up!
