Ive never been so happy
Usually he would get angry about having any crack at the Bombers but he didn't do anything because I guess he was just so dejected.

When we were flatmates we actually came up with a deal not to annoy each other about footy teams when they played each other.

One funny thing is he hates West Coast even more than most Freo supporters.
 
Carlton had a bit of a choke in 94 but we were Kings of 94

I remember going down the shops before the games in Kalgoorlie and fmd it made the yearly Xmas eve rush look like nothing.

Footy is popular now but 'eagle mania' back then geez, they treated like the Beatles or something.

How bulked up did West Coast get in that 91/92 offseason under Matt Barber ;)

There was some massive units running around back in the 90s, wouldn't be surprised if there was a PEDs being used across all clubs around then. Only Justin Charles was stupid enough to get caught.
 
They are far taller but the average AFL player now because the entire team has to run so much isn't really that big at all.

Like when you go to the WAFL out in the huddle you can get a real up close look at players on the AFL list and sure bigger than the average fit joe but nowhere nearly as much as you would think.
 
Me too. :coolv1:
I was interstate in '99. Enjoying the experience this time around.
Thought of something amusing this morning, this kid at the footy back in the day screaming "Hey Minton-Connell, you are a f***ing Carlton reject!" when he was playing for Sydney.

I mean I was a kid at the time as well but it's just funny thinking back at like an 8 year old swearing and just the pure level of, I dunno disgust toward him lol.
 
I was gutted when Leigh Colbert left, but I never abused the guy.

I did some idiotic long walk home at like 1am after drinking in Perth when I was young someone pulled over and asked if I wanted a lift. No way in hell was I getting in that car and lied by saying I'm like "No thanks I'm only 50m away from home." when it was still a long way away.

Really felt like something sinister.

Pretty much your textbook 'journeyman'.
He was developing well until we traded him to Sydney as part of the Greg Williams deal. That messed up his support & development and he became a football nomad.

My brother when he was young got bashed in Kalgoorlie by some heros and got put in hospital.

That's the only place I've ever lived where I wouldn't walk anywhere past sundown. I actually like the place it has amazing history some sort of character that's hard to describe but it's ****in rough.

It was rumoured that someone from our home town also living in Kal heard about it and gave the ring leader when he wasn't with his mates some of his own medicine.
