Re: Petracca v McCartin
4 MASSIVE ERRORS 1. Beveridge. We had him. Why we chose a stuttering idiot over a legend like bevo is beyond me. 2. Billings over bont. Chose a snot nosed toorak kid who had a nice kick but also the grit of a demons player. 3. Petracca over McCartin. Chose a slow diabetic smallish KEY forward over ...

Re: April 17, 1993 @ Vic Park - Who was there?
I was there too - standing in the outer with the few other sainters I could locate - and am also struck in retrospect by what a perfect Melbourne autumn afternoon it was. Walking back through Collingwood streets to my car (1978 Mazda 323) I was bursting with excitement at the win but realised the li...

Re: Tell me why?
Somewhat embarrassingly, I can make an educated guess. I take it as a reference to some quality "youth" TV - Jersey Shore. The ladies on that show refer to their preferred types - muscled guys with an Italian-American heritage - as "meatballs". Minchington looks a little like he ...

Pre-bounce song
On what was an otherwise sullen evening, I will say that I thought the new "knock knock" introduced version of OWTSGMI just before the bounce was pretty, pretty good - especially when the tempo picked up. I am generally anti manufactured measures to gee up the fans (including the "mak...

Re: Carlisle "scandal"
I just sullied myself by watching the video.
Very sceptical.
The non-reportage by other news agencies may speak volumes.

Re: VFL Prelim Final Sandringham Vs Box Hill Sat 19th 2.40
Couldn't make it yesterday but am keen on going this week.
The TV coverage was making a lot of the queuing outside the ground.
Any suggestions on an arrival time that might avoid a significant wait (noting of course that the weather probably was a bit of a drawcard yesterday)?

Apologies if this has been noted elsewhere but it appears that there is to be no TV coverage of this game.
Bit disappointing not to see the first hit out.

Re: Stephen Milne's lawyers to decide on rape trial abandonm
Most of the story doesn't seem to relate to the headline. Maybe one of our resident lawyers could tell us what it all means. Lawyers for former St Kilda player Stephen Milne will decide this week if they will apply to have his rape trial abandoned. Defence barrister Ruth Shann told County Court jud...

Gilbo was pretty good, albeit nothing special and at the 3/4 time break was complaining of cramping up. Fought on well in the last though. Spence was getting to the contest well and had a bit of luck on his side with some of his goals. So neither should play for the Saints next week if commonsense ...

Re: Memories of Lenny
Lenny the 'candy man'. Sold more candy than our local milk bar. The GF's the 50 mtrs bomb against filth and that tackle against the doggies after knee surgery. 1 of the all time greats of our club. That goal is simultaneously one of my best and worst football memories. It represents the outright gu...

Re: Mediocre Players with Cult Status
Mick Dwyer looked more like Krusty the Clown than Mr. Burns. A few fans called him "Krusty". "Taxi" seemed to be his more prominent nickname though. Thought he was a good contributor for a team in over a few years. He ended up playing in Fitzroy's very last team in 1996. That's ...
