Don't know if Hep was joking but Merret will be wearing a helmet.

Don't know if Hep was joking but Merret will be wearing a helmet.

Zach is a very serious young man. I wonder if he’ll loosen up a bit as he gets older. Very little piss taking or shenanigans it seems.

Just needs to have a look at shaggs from Leongatha to see how it's done.

Zacky taking after Nathan Burke by wearing a helmet

On Zachy's seriousness, he seems popular at the club so I kind of put his seriousness down to how he speaks more than anything, people who have that harsh sounding voice will often sound dry until you get to know them.

I bumped into him at the sponsors night a few years back when he was in his second year. He had a couple of cokes in his hand and I said to him “you should put some bourbon in that, I won’t tell anyone”. He then gave me one of the most disgusted looking looks that has ever been looked at me and walked away with an aggressively grunted “yeah” and rolled his eyes.
I felt both enthralled and embarrassed by what I had just witnessed.

Whilst it was only a fleeting exchange, it said a lot about the young man. There was a steely determination and an absolute contempt for fools that I quite liked.

Exactly - contempt was purely for choice of drink

The old suburban and coke....have to confess, I don’t mind one.

Maybe he is a southern comfort kid?

i once had southern comfort as a kid... but only once

 

[DERO]

i once had southern comfort as a kid... but only once

Yep. Me too. Can still remember the taste.

 

[Blind Turn]

Yep. Me too. Can still remember the taste.

First time I got truly drunk was the first time I threw up from grog was the last time I tasted Southern Comfort...

He’s probably a bit on the spectrum and doesn’t understand why anyone wouldn’t take any pursuit in life totally and utterly seriously. And that includes forum posting. So for the benefit of our lad Zach pull up your ******* socks DERO

First time I got truly drunk was the first time I threw up from grog was the last time I tasted Southern Comfort...

My mates dad had a bottle of Southern Comfort aged 15 years sitting on a shelf when his parents wern't home we had a glass each man it was super sweet was like drinking a cup of sugar lols

 

[CBombers17]

I dropped 1 litre bottle of sutho in my mates laundry in 1997 and it reeked for 2 weeks.

 

[Doss]

Considering the strength of Freo's midfield, he cannot afford to have a down game this weekend. We need him at his best. Hopefully there are no residual ill-effects from the knock last week.

Is Zerrett really wearing a helmet tomorrow night?

Is Zerrett really wearing a helmet tomorrow night?

It'd be pretty awesome! He'll look like a superhero.

Should wear a cape too

Was something Dyson said in a video clip that someone posted where he and Zerrett were doing a panel interview. Might've been joking, was hard to tell in context. But it's also probably not the silliest idea.

 

[Rack Watts]

My boy 2018.
Saw him at Highpoint a week ago, froze but still managed to get out a "Gday Zachy!".

 

[EnolaGay]

First time I got truly drunk was the first time I threw up from grog was the last time I tasted Southern Comfort...

Haha, me too....just the site of a bottle or a wiff of it's smell is enough to flash me back 30 years and make my stomach turn.

Hang on... 30 years? Were you in that paddock with me and a couple of other 15 yr olds back in 1988?

I have the same nostalgic repulsion as you do.
