        Does the upcoming game count as a top 20 moment?
        More of an In Bruges guy?

                    I wish I owned one of those Hats. I reckon I would pull it off nicely.

                        You were a strapping young fellow BAD at your first VFl game, that is you on the wing isn't it?

                            3 rd one with darce against freo I'm pretty sure that game was at Optus Oval where I think it was either scottchisholm or dale kickett or was it Winston Abrahams? that kicked the winning goal to beat us by 3 points I think.
                            Remember Wallace was seething at a reporter(maybe connelly) for suggesting that our new game style we were trying to implement was rubbish and that we would be lucky to win a handful of games at best.
