Yes!
Fodey proved to be quite handy up forward in the latter half of that season.
We belted the pussies by about 9 goals
pretty Ablett got reported (then rubbed out) for having a go at good ol' Spud.
I remember fans yelling at Ablett saying things like "Hey Gazza, it's bit different when you're not taking on a pizza delivery boy isn't it?!?!"

Not to be confused with Franky Coghlan the very scrappy mid that had shocking disposal but was an absolute ball magnet.Dan Warna wrote:yeah, they were talking about him as the next plugger, massive massive pistons for arms.

What a day!
Ahhh, one of my favourites.
O'Brien and Fode ran those bastards ragged and Frawley murdered Ablett - who kicked four cheap goals in the last when the game was over.
St Kilda 8.3, 10.8, 20.13, 27.15 (177)
Geelong 3.3, 8.9, 11.13, 15.16 (106)
Harvey, Robert - 39 touches. Freak.

Yep, 2.1 - http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/game ... 30723.htmljonesy wrote:Hmmm, just checked your stats page. he only kicked 2.1.....memory went astray on that onejonesy wrote:Think Fodey backed it up the week after with another 5-6 against the Roos (may not have been the week after..). Pretty sure he kicked 5-6 points that night too
That night was famous for Gilbert McAdam lining up on his all conquering brother, and doing an excellent job, too - until Adrian threatened to blow the game apart in the last.
Thankfully we held on with four goals each to Stewie and O'Brien.

Oh that was a brilliant goal !!! Just saw it from about 40 out and half volley it through half way up the big sticks.
My brother kept trying to tell me that it was Jayson Daniels who kicked the goal and i just started laughing at him ... as if jack could be that pin point .. no offence jack

Everitt played that day. I remember the cats running around the boundary with their chests puffed out in the warm up and then the Saints belted them. One out of the box.evertonfc wrote:What a day!

I mainly remember that flat top hair style he had which Harves also had in his younger years. I wasn't a big fan of his thought he was too unreliable for me .
Like Rod Owen would kick 6 one game and nothing for the next 2 or 3.
Wasn't as tough as Rocket Rod though or as much of a piss head .Could you Imagine Rod Owen playing today with the drinking policies. I used to always see him at the Underground in the middle of the night blind.
