Isn’t that a vanilla slice?
where did the name snot block come?

Ive always been taught, and called them Snot Blocks.
Does not take away the creamy custardy deliciousness in any way shape or form.

In R21 1991, we beat Carlton in the U19s 47.33.315 to 1.7.13, a staggering (and beautiful!) 302 points.

is anyone across any details on who played, goalkickers etc? it was the last year of u19s and we went on to lose the GF to NM. Presumably Sav Rocca played in the Carlton game and I recall Sam Pang saying he got overlooked for the GF but may have played in that game also.

Is that why Pang appears to hate us?

From the Rd. 24 Football Record:


I think that's 19 players named, so fair chance Pang didn't play. Shayne Bennett went on to play MLB in America.

Thanks for the quick response. Given the score i thought someone may have snared 20 or more. Looks like only 2 of those in GF list, from what i can remember, went onto play AFL.

haha. he probably always supported carlton outside of that stint.

if only they took more of their chances . 80 scoring shots to 8, inside 50 numbers may have cracked 100 but more likely ball would never had left our fwd line.

Yes, looks like only Rocca and Hassall, though Anthony McGregor played senior football for Fitzroy. So a surprisingly low number. North Melbourne's Grand Final team/squad had Archer, McKernan, Damien Hardwick, Craig Ellis

We certainly lost something with the demise of u19s and then then reserves. I guess that would have been the era of reduced list sizes following that. As you mentioned the record, i looked at one a few weeks earlier (still have most) when we beat Melbourne and Carlton U19s beat Essendon so I guess they may have had few regulars that week.

Yes, some mighty tough decisions would have had to be made at the end of 1991 for clubs to work out who (of the underage players) they were going to keep, as there must have been a limit to how many of them could be listed. I think players as young as 14 were able to be kept, but not totally sure about that age. Plenty of good ones would have got away from clubs at that time - e.g. I'm pretty sure that Leppitsch was tied to Hawthorn but they let him go.

I had seen that Carlton had won that Essendon game a few weeks prior to playing us, but this is in the Rd. 23 Record:

Rd. 22 Record:

So they were having a bad patch!

Edit: Looks like Pang wasn't too close to making the side for the GF:

The best part of going to the footy was watching the Under 19's and then the reserves, topped of with watching the seniors.

Thanks - wasnt aware the records were online. Its great to know. And yes the wheels certainly fell of that carlton team. And a couple of future pies in that hawks team i think: Scott Crow and John Barnett.

As for Pang he always jokes he was left out so he could be fresh for the replay if there was a draw. Only played 6 games from that link u sent earlier so makes sense he wasnt close.

Was he an immigrant?

Phillip Murton is another of those Hawk U19's who ended up at Collingwood a few years down the track, though he only played Reserves for us, having played Seniors at Hawthorn.

As for the Football Record being online, it's a fantastic resource for sure. They were made available usually pretty soon after they'd been released, but all that changed once "Hutchy" got his hands on it, and from (and including) the 2018 Grand Final edition haven't been made available. He obviously is in it to make money, but I can't see why an issue that's two years old now can't be on the site!

Very conflicted on this one.

AFL player Sydney Stack 'distressed' about spending Christmas behind bars for Perth 'quarantine breach'

The AFL rising star's career is hanging in the balance after being caught up in another COVID-19 scandal, this time in Perth after being granted an exemption to attend his grandfather's funeral.

www.theage.com.au

While there is no doubt he has done the wrong thing, and must be prosecuted, I wonder if he would have been remanded in custody if he was not Aboriginal?

I'm not sure that has anything to do with it? More likely that he's being punished as its the second time he has breached quarantine in WA on top of doing the same in Qld.

Besides, he is not just any aborigine, he is an AFL player. I think he is too high profile to be jailed purely on the basis of his indigenous background.

I wasn't so dedicated. Second half of the reserves then the senior game was enough for me.

His sister was married to a former Carlton captain/premiership player

who's that? Testing my memory, Carlton captains who were premiership players of recent times...

Well, I'm not so sure.

The only way you can tell in this instance would be for a non-aboriginal player to breach protocol twice and see what the response is.
