Yeah Waite. :/

One night Clinton Grybas called a goal from Waite against the boundary line. So i made it my nickname...(and it sounded like an 'O' instead of an 'A')

Who were you?

I am the one who posts.

He was Jarrod Waiteee or something like that (still shows up in a quote at the top of the page).

I used to be Twomey2Betts Worst player bandwagon ever. So I just went the easy route and converted to T2B.

That's because the comment system caches the name of the poster in the comment rather than looking up the member name each time.

See what I did there?

Ian Robertson finished playing 40 years ago. You can see I'm not a dedicated follower of fashion.

Not sure who your avatar is. Looks a bit like John Turturro or is it character from that 60s show Homicide?

That's John Entwistle - bass player - The Who aka The Ox.

 

[__Bobcat__]

I'm the one who was kept in the cellar most of the time.

The Gimp!!!!

 

[thylacine60]

Tipping a young Entwistle.

 

[ESKIE]

I'm missing the hype.

Trade period was far more exciting that the entire 2015 season

I prefered Keith. Change it back

 

[DejaBlue]

Let's compromise and change it to Pete

I'm starting to twitch

 

[Funk]

Both will most likely be gone by our pick 8.

So please let me know what you think top 12 order will be.

Why not Roger?

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Why not Roger?

It's not his turn yet.

And there I was thinking you were a fan of Graeme Robertson.

 

[mediumsizered]

Is he really a forward though? Plays more on the wing..

What's the status of Sam Grimley?

His status is that of a very ordinary footballer. Poor man's Archie De Luca.

 

[HARKER]

We haven't had a great run with players falling into bad habits and others that had mental health issues.

You can do something about the former but harder to deal with the latter....which hadn't been particularly good at.

The bad habits and attitudes are certainly a sign of a substandard culture and a dearth of leaders, both of which the great Brisbane, Geelong, Sydney and Hawthorn teams of the past 20yrs have had in spades.

Hawthorn might be slightly debatable there... though I guess the point stands in terms of on-field.

Pretty much. You can't see a lack of leadership but its influence (or lack of) can be and usually is, profound.

That's one of the reasons we must take Weitering. We can't help what we have, or haven't got at the top end for now, but Weitering, Cripps, Docherty, Graham etc have to be ready to take the mantle in the not too distant future.

Tallish type for the era. Number 37? Shane Robertson? Number 38.

My Robbo arrived around 65/66 (?). I would have been about 9 at the time. I think it was effortless and monstrous kicking that caught my eye. All through my junior teams I wore number 34. Always had to get my mum to sew or iron the number on as 34 was never an off the rack number. I always admired him from afar. I had a chance to meet him once, in the bar under the Gardiner Stand. I was too shy to take up the offer.

I remember Robbo, a mean drop kick

 

[BigCountryBlue]

Your mum would sew on 34?
She's great.
Back in '85 the only number my mum would sew on my jumper was number 1 cos it was the easiest!
I clearly remember thinking "this Silvagni bloke better go ok..."
