Shaw, Butcher and Harvey: "It doesn't matter which one of us you pick. Either way your KPF stocks are doomed! DOOOOOMED!"

Don't blame me, I voted for Dixon.

 

[Jonts]

How were the big forwards tonight?

 

[1954]

His dad's name is Russell. Played for Weeroona Bay in Whyalla. Then later for Westies from memory. Tough as nails.

Cheers, I thought Ben may have had a connection to Brian Sawford.

 

[RossFC]

How were the big forwards tonight?

Frampton is the man, Harvey had a tough day and Howard played at half back.

 

[Byrons Firen]

only saw the last quarter

**** YES

CHEW ON A GIANT SATCHEL OF INFECTED SCROTUMS YOU GLENELG campaignerS

Clap Clap

[Ford Fairlane]

Pretty harsh to rag on players for not marking tonight. It did rain and slippery greasy conditions made marking and ball handling tough.

Colossal game from Lobbe. As well as his stats he was a huge physical presence around the ball.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

He grew 3cm tonight

I thought cold had the opposite effect, Cue Costanza monologue.

 

[Jonts]

Butcher no game?

Percentage went down from 55.65 to 55.21 with the win being that close. But we're up to second with West playing South below the Mason-Dixon line tomorrow. West will be second if they win and if South win then they would have nearly certainly sewn up fifth place as they would be 2 games and about .8% up on Centrals with 2 games to go. If Adelaide lose to the Eagles and South win Adelaide cannot make it, they will be 3 behind with 2 to go. But they still have a chance even if they lose tomorrow. If South lose all their last three and Adelaide win their last two they could make it.
Only Sturt, Glenelg and North are definitely out of it.

Missing in action
Butch to STAR in defence tomorrow
Frampton to play AFL next week Amon too

 

[StuMan]

Reading through the last 6 pages with out knowing the result was a bit of a thrill in itself.

Shame I wasn't home so I could watch it though.
Nothing better than seeing some devastated Bays players/supporters.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Ben ******* Sawford

Quote from yesteryear
Q...What's better than beating Collingwood by 10 goals?
A...Beating Collingwood by 1pt.

Game ends, "please respect our neighbours and keep noise to a minimum", *sad sopey song comes on*
Oh and thanks P.A. system man for the world netball championship score update.

Back in the day the Bays would be at Lennie's by now getting tanked.

You'll never teach them to be good citizens
they fail minimum standards after all
1pt win
better than sex
lasted longer too

Suck eggs you motherf**kers
sweet dreams for me to you
who believe

 

[PA88]

That was rather exciting. Finally got into the contest through our AFL players not being complete potatoes.

Actually our non-AFL players kept us in it and polished the win off. Good signs.

 

[Byrons Firen]

I like Frampton but he didn't do anything except give away free kicks after the first quarter.

Different umpires and he was close to BOG
That angry mark at 30 out 1stQtr and resultant goal
Yeeeah
seminal moment for the snake

 

[Lockhart Road]

Brian Sawford played in the early 1950's, are you sure he is not Ben's grandfather?

Jimmy Sawford, played half-back flank as I recall.

From Club records per the 'net:

1956 Premiership
Adelaide Oval, September 29th
Crowd: 45,514

Port Adelaide 12.9 (81) def
West Adelaide 9.11 (65)

Best: A. Whelan, D. Thompson, R. Clift, G. Motley, T. Williams, F. Williams
Goals: R. Johns 4, G. Motley 3, J. Sawford, L. Zucker, D. Trowse, A. Blagrove, A. Whelan

Coach/Captain: F. Williams

'A. Whelan' was Alfred Edward (Ted) Whelan, very recently deceased.
Don Thompson - also very recently deceased.
Roger Clift, Mots, Tommy & Fos Williams.
Rex Johns ( Rexie J ), Lloyd Zucker, Dean Trowse, Alan 'Blossom' Blagove (back pocket ... kicked his rare goal having 'followed his rover (opponent) down' as we used to call it).

 

[PA88]

Lobbe 64 hitouts. 18 touches, only 3 marks

Sawford 40 touches

Still an awesome display by both. Conditions were wet and Lobbe was always contested.
