Nice to see people are coming to the party re Allen’s potential

The kid is a 200 game player

I started this party

Still hoping Reef and Allen our 194 cm runners can develop into A Graders

I’m not sure what relevance Stanley’s marks have in relation to Cameron dropping simple marks. Him being poor overhead doesn’t make Camerons performance any better. I judge him on the standard we’ve come to expect from him for the past 18 months, and he was well down on that last night.

Fair enough. But his performances all year on average are better than Mason and he is better for us that Mason. I'm not one who bags players or demands them to get dropped after a couple of games where they don't appear to be at their optimum. It happens, and usually its for reasons we are not privy to.

Quit calling him Allen.
Allan, ok?
I prefer Edward.

Reminds me a little of our ex Presidente but acceptable

Edgar Allen Poe

When I was a teenager I used to clean pools. "The pool guy"

Used to clean pools for the rich and famous.
Artist Clifton Pugh was one.
His girlfriend at the time was Prue Acton from the make up brand.
I innocently mentioned "you guys should get married" so you can become Prue Pugh

They both gave me that look.

Prue Acton started as a fashion designer, and a good one. In my first job, I saved money from several pay cheques (they literally were cheques) to buy one of her ‘outfits’. Loved it too.

All I know is ‘that we’re living here in Allentown’

That …and the restlessness was handed down

Out in Bethlehem they're killing time
Filling out forms
Standing in line

Ha. I take it they never had you back?

Nah I was a regular there. They recognised my childish exuberance.
Around the corner I cleaned Peter Brock's pool.
He was my idol.
Kangaroo ground is where they lived.

Any truth to Prue being the lovely lady with whom Sir Billy Sneddon ‘died on the job’ as The Truth put it ?

(given you are an historian)

Where are the meer cats

Reef was very good today

What position did he play?

On SM-N975F using BigFooty.com mobile app

Ha ha! I have heard that one. It was pre-social media so I don’t have any internet proof.

Has anyone ever questioned his potential?

 

[partypie]

Cameron didn't take many marks last night (he rarely does), but I do recall his one and only grab in the last q.

I also recall his easiest mark attempt for the evening - nicely weighted ball straight into his hands at chest height with no spoiling pressure to speak of that he simply dropped at wing/LHF, after which Geelong took it straight back up the ground and kicked another goal late in the last quarter.

Back on topic could Kreuger perhaps be a wildcard to come in and do a job down back?

Some people like shouting at clouds, some like shouting at imaginary clouds.

If Reef and Allen hit their potential, it will be an exciting decade with the two of them and Daicos playing in the midfield.

The difference is some (myself included) have pushed for his inclusion at senior level… from early on this year. Seeing that he could come in and play a role… and fast track his development in the process

Others prefer to keep persevering with WHE every week regardless of how he performs

* to his credit WHE had one of his better games last night
