Ben Johnson?????????

Is it was Harry O'Brien who was Milne's opponent that day, surely.

Harry was found wanting. Johnson was with him for that play.

I've been watching BJ's mark every day for the last week. It sounds unreal with the headphones on.

Dunno why I torture myself...

How has this club not won a flag with such titans of the modern era...

Yes it is torture.

I was watching scarletts toe poke in 09. Also torturous.

If only, if only....

At least 10 more years before we get another shot at that. Lots of time to to torture ourselves with sliding door scenarios.

"Big Nick" John Nicholls was once asked on a footy doco about the one thing do you need to win a flag. His resposne was luck!

I saw big Nick in Queenscliff on the Aust day weekend. He is getting on a bit and his wife was helping him him around.

Was he carrying any paper bags?
