Yep back to Easts , 2 hours sleep and the drive back to Melbourne

I was there at Easts that night. Amazing atmosphere as was the match.
Probably queuing up at the bar behind you. Were you the guy that ordered the Carlton Draught ?

 

[the hypnotoad]

The current Crows coach could go on quiet achiever list

i have admit he was probably my least favourite swan, i thought he was one of the most overrated players we ever had

was a quiet achiever.

Although IMO he was actually so good that he shouldn't have been a quiet achiever.

But he was very quiet and rarely looked bothered by anything. That's why it made his, "Mate, you're having a shocker!" to the umpire that time so hilarious

Can't even remember what we were drinking lol , certainly not Tooheys . Drove up with Sheedy's nephew , was he quiet on the way back

I believe he wasn’t so quiet to Kurt Tippett in the rooms after the 2014 GF.

 

[Pugnacious1874]

Hahaha that is the first thing I think about when Luke Ablett's name comes up, which is highly unfair to him, as he was a good player

I try to think of Luke being part of the desperate plays in Q4 05 semi final.
I can't recall the exact minute and since we're playing the Cats and Huddo will be commentating I'd better go watch it again.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

 

[Adnico26Parker]

No Dangerfield or Ollie Henry for Cats

 

[Punts]

Did they drop Henry?

 

[Punts]

We should seriously give them a touch up

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Did they drop Henry?

Makes no sense if he is not injured they dropped one of their leading goal scorers.

21 goals at almost 2.0 goals a game

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Did they drop Henry?

Hamstring injury according to Gabelich

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Hamstring injury according to Gabelich

Thought so been pretty potent for them

IT'S HAPPENING! IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING! CAIDEN CLEARY!!!!!!!!!

i know he's only gonna be an emegency let me live FFS

 

[The King!]

IT'S HAPPENING! IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING! CAIDEN CLEARY!!!!!!!!!

i know he's only gonna be an emegency let me live FFS

Wouldn't be the worst idea to make him sub one game.

I am sure he can play the last 5 minutes of a game.

"Ablett keeps it in...." leading up to the winning goal

 

[Millky95]

Oh hey here it is.

Campbell for the sub. Can't see Francis being the sub again. Not as versitile as Fox

 

[Kbroome]

Predicting the stock standard McCartin in for Francis when full teams are dropped tomorrow night. Francis Cleary Ladhams to fall off the bench to the emegencies

 

[The King!]

I hope Stanley plays and Blivcas takes a week off instead

 

[Tedeski]

We should seriously give them a touch up

If we are a serious top 4 team (not the Essendon variety top 4), then this should be a 50 point win easy.

 

[The King!]

Campbell for the sub. Can't see Francis being the sub again. Not as versitile as Fox

Wasn't Roberts sub last?

 

[KingV23]

Swans by 92 points

 

[Millky95]

Wasn't Roberts sub last?

Yeah. Am just going by who is listed 5th on the bench which usually seems to be a good indicator

"Ablett keeps it in...." leading up to the winning goal

It's funny how some phrasing sticks in the memory.

Whenever I'm watching a footy game now and I hear a commentator say, "One last roll of the dice...", my mind immediately expects it to be followed up with, "for the EAGLES! LEO BARRY YOU STAR!"
