Universal Love Down Memory Lane

[Robbo's my hero]

this was ultimately part of rex hunts downfall - he'd rather let it be known how excited he was by his screaming, blustering stupidity than let people know what was actually/accurately happening

Imagine before he got the radio gig. He used to practice his calling as a spectator. Most annoying person in the crowd is the one giving you a description of what you can see.

I thought, “ok, I’ll have a go. Can’t be that hard”
Three days later...

I haven’t slept. Haven’t eaten. And I’m arguing with MYSELF, like a crazy person!

Emergency. Ashman, C. Curnow,

So close to pressing report button for Ashman listed an emergency.
I will let it slide, but...

Judd as captain?

Think Kernahan should get the nod over him.

Behind Trevor Keogh, whom is behind Gary Crane, whom is in front of Rhys-Jones.....

Surely premiership captain-coaches trump any other captain ?

No love for Phil Pinnell?

 

[footyfan1978]

No love for Phil Pinnell?

None. He was probably on list in first season I followed. I remember names like Greg Towns, Tony Pickett, Kevin Heath and Phil Pinnell that season when I listened on radio but when we were premiers all gone so all my love as kid was for the premiership players. Shallow I know, but was just a kid.

He was a seriously good footballer. Premiership player and deserves to be at least in the conversation of Carlton greats.

I can't love everybody.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Played in 1970 GF. Hard as player and deserves his place in the history of the club. One of the skinniest guys to represent the club and was known as The Weed.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

No love for Phil Pinnell?

Definitely makes my alternative team. Dead set mongrels who have played for Carlton. Criterion. Players who preferred a fight to a feed (or something like that).

I would nominate O'Reilly as captain for the significant impact he made to our club for many years.

[footyfan1978]

****, that is a challenge. I am going to trump it somehow.

 

[thylacine60]

joseph, fletcher, powell stiff - eccles? these sorts of exercises are self-defeatist and can become uber nasty thus I won't be responding.....

 

[Robbo's my hero]

My mongrel squad is taking shape but I’m still short of a team.

Big Nick, Diesel, Johnno, Wild Bill, Ricky, Weed, Jimmy, Collo, Wes, Brown Dog, Rhys, Vinnie, Sellers, Wallsy

We can take the field but I need some more nominees.

 

[thylacine60]

Alan Mangels perhaps. He can play on behalf of Chitty, who he was related to.
