Great moment for all our newbies

Jeff Potter one of my all time favourites

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Of our 38 HoFers, 19 have passed away and 19 still alive. 12 were up on stage. Not there are Mark Williams, Craig Bradley and Scott Hodges and not on stage so not sure if there, Tim Evans, John Cahill, Neville Hayes, Darren Smith.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

1962, 1963 and 1965 premiership teams inducted. I guess that's the trio of premiership teams that Soders on Ch 7 News talked about.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

First three premierships after I was born.

[RussellEbertHandball]

He only talks at the B&F.

 

[Greymatter]

1962, 1963 and 1965 premiership teams inducted. I guess that's the trio of premiership teams that Soders on Ch 7 News talked about.

Look forward to the 77, 79 and 80 ones next

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Look forward to the 77, 79 and 80 ones next

What about 81?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

No Jack Cahill. Hope is in good health or maybe on an O's holiday.

 

[Onward To Victory]

1962, 1963 and 1965 premiership teams inducted. I guess that's the trio of premiership teams that Soders on Ch 7 News talked about.

Don't know if it's just me, but I'm not a fan of this inducting teams approach. A premiership is the highest accolade in the game, these teams have already won it. IMO the hall of fame should be for special players/coaches individually.

Snap old fella.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Wanga's and Zack Butters in a deep conversation.

 

[Prison bar Pete]

I was born in a premiership year. Not that hard back then really

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Zak, you're better than Haydn Ballantyne.

 

[Relativity]

Snap old fella.

Double snap.

 

[dirty2]

I was born in a premiership year. Not that hard back then really

1980 was a good year

 

[Byrons Firen]

That '65 footage and to think I was there whadda moment.
There are some things you never forget. The streamers and paper on the ground, the atmosphere
and muggins here hanging off the cyclone fence between the Creswell stand(?) now the Riverbank and
a mound for the hoi polloi to get a view.
Here's a fact coz I saw it with me own eyes. When Mead's winning kick was heading for the goal
people had already jumped the fence and definitely impeded their defenders from getting a run-up to spoil the ball
which by the way only just cleared the line

 

[Byrons Firen]

Zak, you're better than Haydn Ballantyne.

Big call this early Ford but of course your right

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Big call this early Ford but of course your right

I was guessing what Wangas was telling him

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Is this the bloke that used to be on Adelaide radio and ch 9, I think, talking about his old man who played in 1962 flag?

 

[Doctor Feel]

Is this the bloke that used to be on Adelaide radio and ch 9, I think, talking about his old man who played in 1962 flag?

McBain accepting his award

 

[Papa G]

Is this the bloke that used to be on Adelaide radio and ch 9, I think, talking about his old man who played in 1962 flag?

I believe it is.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

I believe it is.

Did we ever use him to do voice over's, promos, MCing etc? I assume if his old man was a Port champ he was a Port man.
