Really? Such as...? [/B] Lets say a similar situation to what Caaarlton had to deal with about a month ago.

Yep. The intent was the same, and by all accounts both of the players in question (O'Dea and Holland) were both gutless dogs in regard to the fact that they hit players behind the play. Open up both eyes and see Big Brave Brodie for what he is. The sooner Collingwood arse this bloke for...

Re: Re: Brodie the dog - How can Collingwood defend his actions Just like season 2004 is over for the pies. And I know funny.

Can't teach a dog new tricks. One day "tough guy" Brodie will cop his right whack. How on earth could Collingwood whinge about this penalty? The evidence was clear and remember this bloke hit a player 120 metres behind play last year.

Just gimme a number!!!

Round 1 1979. Beating Collingwood by 80 points at Victoria Park is one of my sweetest memories. But just the memories of watching the Roys go around is something I cherish. Pity I can't do it anymore. Rabs

I'd be keen to pull the pull the boots on again.

Guys, I am still getting my arse into gear on this, so accept my apologies. We did the DVD, edited it, put the royboy song onto it, put it into chapters etc. All looking good, except it didn't play on any DVD player I could find (worked well on the PC). So what I have decided to do is get...

Just wondering if anyone can remember if any AFL clubs have had trouble with the law in a similar way that the Canterbury Bulldogs are having at the moment? I know there has been incidents (or alleged incidents) concerning individual players (a former Geelong winger immediately springs to...

Dunno if it was a couple of blokes who look at Big Footy or not, but I was talking to 2 blokes at a pub here in Sydney and they were talking about this. I reckon it is rubbish, but where there is smoke.....

The Doctor?

Micky Conlan?

Mark Scott?? On the subject of the 1989 GF, my mate is back from OS and has committed to finish the job on the transfer (if you know what I mean). Apologies for the delay in getting this done, but I know bugger all about the transfer process and my mates diary has been as full as a fat...

I know it has been years since it happened, but I can't help but wonder what would have happened if we weren't as broke as we were in the early 90's. I was just reading an article on The Age website that stated that all Victorian clubs will now survive. Pity the AFL didn't give this...

Is the Weigard Keith??

Mobben He ended up at Oakleigh (where he kicked many a sausage roll), after stints at Camberwell and Coburg. Here is the article http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/08/08/1060145867845.html Rabs

Just read an old article on Rino Pretto, who as we all know spent a bit of time at the Roys. He played one senior game for us, had one kick and goaled with that kick. Are there any other footballers that you know of that had similar career stats??

To be honest I have struggled to really get on the merged identity, and don't really know why (you would think beating Collingwood 2 years in a row in the Grand Final would do it). Suppose over time I will get on them more, as there is no Melbourne side I could ever like, WA sides are too far...

No one ever told me when I was 10 that when I was 30 that my side wouldn't be around. I really miss the Roys, and all the things that they meant to me. I was too young to have a beer watching Micky Conlan, but now that I have a taste for it I cannot imagine how good it would have felt...

Fellas Good news. The first transfer was a success, and now we just need to tidy up the copy and replicate it. I apologise for the delay in getting this up, but I really wanted to do it properly. I reckon I will have a complete product in the next week or so, but I am relying on a...

I ended up swapping my thing for one of those brick phones. Main reason was that my phone came with 3 batteries, and I had to have them fully charged inthe morning to have any chance of getting through the day. Each battery had a standby of about 5 hours, with about 20 minutes talk time tops...

I might sound like I am really old, but is 14 the usual age to get a mobile? I suppose I still think of the first mobile I got (and it cost about $1800) and was called a ****er for having one. Gee, when I was 14 a bike was my main communication device.

I really hope the fwit who did this gets exactly what he deserves. I am really going to miss Hooksey.

Hookesy Very sad news. Hooksey was our runner in 1996 wasn't he (when Michael Nunan was coach)?

Correct. He was there from memory in 1979/80, and basically just played full forward for our ressies. I think we ended up getting Mark Scott from St Kilda to be our reserves full forward after that.

Max Richardson actually played 2 years for the Roys, but Len Thompson played his last year of footy for us. John Rantall (Sth, Nth, Sth), Mark Dwyer (Stk), Gavin Excell (Geel), Doug Hawkins (Foots), Greg Parke (Melb), Michael Roberts (Stk, Rich), Allan Sidebottom (Stk), Keiran Sporn (Ess)...

Agreed. I am very keen to have a session with all of you who can make it. Whaddya reckon about something this year. I will definitely do it, as long as I have enough notice.

Just saw a cracker on an old video. They were ads for Carlton Draught during the 1996 season, and used the commentary from the old days with the players in later years. On ad had Wayne Harmes passing a beer to Ken Sheldon (1979 GF) and the other I saw had Jezza grabbing a beer (1970 GF and...
