yer your rite there longy.
Would be nice to get 25 goals each out of Monfries,Lovett and 3 or 4 others next year on top of Lloydys 70 or 80 ( lets hope)
There were a lot of reason we were so good in 2000, but one of the major ones was because of the spread of goal kickers we had.
Not only did we have Lloyd kick over 100 and Lucas kick over 50, but we had Hird, Caracella and Mercuri over 30 and Blumfield, Alessio, Moorcroft over 20.
8 blokes averaging over a goal a game and several others (Bewick, Long, JJ, Rama, Joey) not far behind.
Even Fletch kicked 14 goals in 2000. That would have had him 5th this year, it had him equal 10th in 2000.

Ten years ago now still feels like yesterday. I was devastated, cried like a little 9 year old.

I am wrong.Watson played his last game in 1994,rd 16 at Windy hill. It was against Fitzroy and we won by 10 goals.What happened to timmy on that faithful day?....anyone?
It was at The G and a teammate played a big part in it.

ooops......sorry WH.My book just says home game.MCG it is.
I rekon it was Dean Wallis who ran thru Timmy and cracked a colarbone
Hamstring, all down to a mis-directed Alessio handball. Watson runs by, calls for the pill and bloody alessio handballs behind him, Watson stretches, twaaaanngggg.

2003 h&a season.
Name the rd,the team we played and venue, without going straight to the record books like busy little beavers.
Try and guess by memory.
Hird kicked no goals but had 24 kicks.
Goal kickers included Bolton,Rama,Jacobs and Lloyd kicked 5.
We had a narrow win mainly due to Pev shutting down a super star.
Hird was outstanding.

umm i think it was rd 16 against brissy at the dome, dont know about the goal kickers but im pretty sure hird was awsome and it was the first time we had beaten them in a while.
