effort in terms of courage to take the game on and kick to their targets in the forward line I have seen in living memory. The players and coaching staff should hang their heads in shame.
Our refusal to kick the ball into the forward 50 on numerous occassions indicated a lack of confidence...
The following is a list of player's, who, to varying degree's may be worth discussing the prospect of trading to our club. These are generally players that could be reasonable targets. Of course our capacity, with a lack of good draft picks and not much player bait is rather diminished this...
On Mike Sheahan's theme in today Herald/Sun, it is interesting to note Buddy Franklin's record to Kelvin Templeton's at the same age and remarkably both have played the same amount of games to age 21.
Templeton;
Age 17 (1974) - 12 games (25 goals)
Age 18 (1975) - 14 (29)
Age 19 (1976) - 23...
Can any Roy fan remember this cup that was played for between Fitzroy and Footscray in 1983 to celebrate both clubs centenaries ??

It appears the AFL now is looking to take over the world with its plan to force the Kanga's to the Gold Coast. This reminds me of the Ross Oakley days when clubs were forced down death row with a gun to their head.
If the AFL wants two clubs in Queensland, then surely it will want two in NSW...
The AFL and Western Bulldogs club historian has put together the complete statistical record of players to have appeared for Footscray Reserves during the period 1983-1999. It makes for some interesting reading and may jog your memory of a few players who were good players at reserve level but...
Boydy seems to have gone off the boil. The match committee seemingly have put him in a tagging role and maybe this has unbalanced our midfield.
He is virtually watching his man to the extent that the ball is not his object. This is not helping at centre ball-ups and stoppages when we are left...
I read in today's Herald Sun that the cost of the redevelopment has blown out from 19.5 mil to 25 mil.
How did this happen overnight and where was the explanation of how a club with a debt sitting somewhere between 5-6 million is going to find another 5.5 million ??
I know the Footscray...
