Days until the Proper Season starts

Apt photo of Lewis as he had a propensity to use those teeth on the field.

 

[Dinsdale]

I’ve got a photo somewhere of me giving Lewie and big kiss after the 92 GF, so thats a gimme!

I was at the 91 GF with the McKenna family (I grew up with them). Years later I heard the true story of how Dermie treated Lewis in that game, I wasd like a child learning there is no Santa

One more sleep.

are we there yet?

are we there yet?

27 sleeps away, unless you take naps during the day, and you're not an insomniac

 

[Dinsdale]

only 27 days now, thats less than 4 weeks for those mathmatecally challenged. Now that we're getting into the more popular numbers, there are more greats to choose from. Unfrotunately Simon Madden played for Essenscum*, but before the Hirdjection era. 2 VFL flags, 378 games, and a Normie, and an early pogonophile.

Tom Lynch - the good one - is the resident ranga rep for the number 27's

Another player Crows got for a song after Saints failing to recognise his talent …….
Other notable 27 was Matty Liptack - now Dr Liptack ….

The surgeon who operated on Burton, former Crows rover Matthew Liptak, said he had sustained injuries seen more often in motorcycle accidents than on a football field.

“When I did the injury I immediately thought that my (AFL) dreams might have been shattered then and there,’’ said Burton, who had 10 screws and a plate inserted into his shredded leg to hold it together.

Hopefully the Puffers don't send Dixon to Liptack.

On second thoughts - Dixon in the puffers team is a win for everyone else......

27 = the number of spoons that St Kilda have won.

That’s a world record by the way.

26 days to go, and here we have the great Peter Hudson, a premiership in 71, the year he kicked 150 goals for the season. 4 Coleman medals, averaging 5.64 goals per game. Would have played more if the knee fixers of today were around back then.

Still the only player that ever arrived to a game via helicopter

 

[Dinsdale]

Can't go past this high flyer who represents #25 days to go, the great Alex Jesaulenko, originally playing for Eastlakes in the Canberra footy league, then carLoLton for a while, then the Aints. 279 games, 3 flags.

Yeah but he'd kick fewer goals with the defensive structures of today.

Last man to captain-coach a VFL/AFL premiership, in his last game for Cartoon. Cracked the shits with the club and the next year he was at the Aints, otherwise known as the Old Blues Superannuation Fund.

I would happily trade in the AFL-M season for one night of AFLW-X.

Hello David,
Nice to meet you.
I am the newly appointed Man Badge Captain of the Bay.
You need to hand yours back in NOW.
No if, buts, or maybes.
You have been stripped of the privilege.
You also need to give yourself a massive uppercut.
Kind regards
Craven.
MBCotB.

No buddy, didn’t crack the shits with the club. They sacked the President and being the man he is, he resigned in support of him. He went to St Kilda because of one man. His great friend. Work it out and don’t comment unless you have a clue what you are talking about. Lol. Love the shit people come up with. No idea!

Exactly. He cracked the shits with the club for sacking his mate the president. And left the premiers. Because he was happy. Buddy.

No, BUDDY, he was captain/coach of a premiership side. Who wants to leave a club in that position? They had a problem with George Harris and as he, “JEZZA”, is an extremely loyal man, he stood by him.

Carlton did not believe he would leave. But he did. Out of loyalty to a friend. Not cracking the shits. Loyalty. And it tore his heart out, however he will always do what is right, not what is best for himself. But you would know I guess. BUDDY
