Interesting facts: Lethal (played one more game before retiring) was killed early on. Yes, taken off in, to return later and boot THREE ( there is some dispute between your recollection and mine) in the last to win a close one. He was wearing No 3. In 1997, Jarman (also wearing No 3) was...

THAT kick, in the '97 Prelim, went oooooh, about 50 metres. Over the top of the posts, too.:rolleyes:

Graeme Teasdale for Pitura in the 1970s. Easily.

Re: Cooney Eanrs Praise for Playing Injured. Lake gets Dropped for 4+ Weeks. I heard a few years back that Lake's hip injury was degenerative, and of the same sort that killed Dermie's career.

I didn't see it, but yeah, that sort of touch is what this club is about. Both of my parents went to that school. Met in grade six. Ernie Sigley was in their class, too :-)

I'm not sure about him having a 'small tank'. He's injured/unfit (and his attitude may very well be 'poor'). My impression of Brain is that he's pretty mobile. Moves from FB to kick more than his fair share of goals (or create them). I can't say that I've seen other FBs do that regularly...

True, Riteo, Fyfe's was a great goal.

Bob Murphy kicked one today for the Doggies that I thought was better. And, there was another (can't remember who!) by a Dogs' player.

Whilst we're at it, let's get Charlie Sheen as our football manager.

The OP: You can't be serious. OMG.

I've been on extended vacation - like, about 3 years - and I note the level of discourse in this place is probably even lower than it was then, unfortunately. I left when I'd had enough of the likes of our dear Guru. To offset her inanities, there are a few here who can post really thoughtful...

I haven't seen the incident so can't comment. Buddy takes a step or so to his right, doesn't he? From an acute angle on the left boundary this would be advantageous. I'm not concerned, actually over how it's umpired, but will ask the keener observers of the game: If Buddy is kicking from...

Spot on. Doggies are NOT in the same grouping as Saints, Pies and Cats. But, as with this game, on the day .... who knows. I tend to agree with one of the other Freo supporters who said they thought it would be close to half time, then Dogs pulling away a little after that.

Agree with this list. Absolutely owns Buddy, but can make some dumb decisions at times. Buddy, though, knows he has to get away from Lake to get a kick or goal. Franklin knows he can't beat Lake in the air, hence his tactic of lurking at the back of packs for the ball. This worked a few...

A discussion with a workmate this morning about the Hall incident led to the term "flying the flag" being used. My mate opined that the Hall's Bulldogs teammates should hang their heads in shame for not 'flying the flag'. Thompson's teammates did the right thing, apparently, by 'flying the...

6th, with 13 wins

Bloody Hell. 8 min mark, and it's 49 possies to 26, and 7 stoppages to 1 in Dogs' favour. Oops. Kozzie marks. Missed. Like I said, he and Milne.

Yes, Dogs looking good early, but it IS early. Shut Milne and Kozzie down and the job's done, I reckon. Saints will find it hard, this time, to shut down our scoring options, particularly with Dawson starting in the forward line. I reckon they're desperate with that move.

In a word: stuffed. He rarely gets up the noses of anyone. Intelligent (most pressies are), thoughtful (Hello, Jeff), generous. There are others of similar ilk, but you are right, we owe him an awful lot.

Congratulations, Saints, and supporters. You've been a great side for some time now, and thoroughly deserve a spot in the GF. Just wish my team was there, but you beat us fair and square. Nick's a true champion, and if he captains his team to a flag can be regarded as the best Saint ever...

Nah. Some skinny twerp named Chris Grant debuted at age 17 in 1990. Kicked 51 goals in his first year, the youngest in VFL/AFL history to do this, AND won the clubs goalkicking for the year for good measure. Remember, this was in a crap team (that barely survived merger with Fitzroy). I...

I'll go with this, too. I think Tommy will be too underdone, given his history of injury, to risk him in a big game. Then again, if we lost the GF after Kosi, or Reiwoldt, Ottens, Hawkins or Mooney go nuts, then I'd be kicking myself. Tough call. I'm comfortable with whatever decision...

Can't see anything special in that Youtube clip. Fairly ordinary, actually, even if it did end up in Brown's arms. It went almost as high as it did long, and gave the defenders plenty of opportunity. The kid's good, but there are heaps of players who were/are far better, and they've already...

Robert Murphy

You left the apostrophe out of Nazi's. Bad, bad, bad.

I guess we're going to find out pretty soon how he's rated by others: the Brownlow, the finals series performances and how the media and other coaches rate him, how hard other clubs go after him, etc. My guess is he's not far behind Scarlett. On current form (last half of this season, I'd...

I've been a rap for Welsh's play this year i.e. his diversity. He may not be the most likely to kick a bag, nor the most inspirational, but he pops up frequently enough for my liking. Also, his efforts in the backline have been exceptional, I've thought. As for dropping Gia. WTF????

Thanks. That's correct. Yes, now it's clearer. The boys (and supporters) were REALLY geed up, wanting to get Smithy over the line. Yep, it was pathetic against the Coasters. I was gutted. Absolutely pathetic.
