congrats fletcher on 250!

[nipst@r]

yeah well done fletch pity its been overshadowed this week.

u guys reckon he'l play 300. seems to probably just have another two in him, has had to overcome any serious injuries.

whatever the case good good effort.

 

[Longy413]

He's signed for another two years, so you'd think he'd give himself every chance of playing 300.

His body is in pretty good shape (touch wood).

 

[djharps]

i wonder if sheeds will do a ala hird.. and preserve him.. though a FB playing off the bench wouldnt really have the same effect as a rover/forward

 

[Philzsay]

Well done Fletch.

I never forget being at your debut game, the draw against Carlton where Sticks Kernahan kicked the ball out on the full after the siren.

Favorite memory again involves Kernahan when in the 1st quater of the 93 Grand Final when you punched the ball out of sticks waiting hands clear over the boundry line. The Premiership Punch I like to call it.

Good luck tonight, I've got a feeling the ball will be down in your area of play a fair bit tonight...

Please never retire, you can play till you're 80

i was doing a 'sheedy' tempting the posters to post hehe.. no i was thinking that WE have to have a thread for the legend and i cant believe a night before the game and no one had started one .. i hope there is 50 posts before kick off just to pay our our due respect to the legend.. thats all lol

To be honest i didn't know it was his 250 before this thread.. i would have started one after the footy show tho cos thats when i woulda found out hehe

great job by sheeds to nurse him through from 150 to 250 games by keeping him away from the oppositions best forwards week in week out

 

[IsDonIsGood]

Well done fletch. I hope he can hang around for another couple of seasons as we will really miss his closing speed, go-go gadget arms, and 60 metre passes out of defence.

Sheeds doesn't allow opposition coaches to move Fletcher away from the goal square, perhaps you could ask yourself why so many coaches want him away from the goals ? You idiot.

 

[Stargazer]

Anyway I didn't come on here to respond to a moron, my intention was to congratulate Dustin Fletcher on reaching a very creditable milestone, despite
injuries, suspensions and for playing in that crucial role since 1993.
Your dad Ken was a great player, and so are you. Well done and let's look forward to you becoming a member of the 300 club Gadget !!

Yep. That A.Rocca aint much chop.

 

[zafa23]

There is some truth to what 'the troll' is saying.

Sheedy:

"We don’t have to play him on the best tall forward like one or two television commentators say," he said.

"He doesn't have to play at centre-half-back, we will play him where we want to play him and then he might play 300 (games)."

 

[Longy413]

I think there might have been a lot of non-truths in the week in, week out comment.

 

[Blues_Man]

He certainly deserved better than that in his 250 th
