Oppo Camp General AFL and other clubs discussion thread. **Opposition fans not welcome** Part 5

[MrPremiership]

Agree entirely.

i‘m not sure why people get their knickers in a knot about Cornes, just because he says something that offends us. Generally, I like his comments, he knows the game and isn’t afraid to have a crack.
i took his comment about investigating Hawthorn regarding the recruitment of Scully as a huge compliment - because it was an admission that we scored a bullseye.

I’m far more offended by the fool Robbo who can’t write a legible line or stumble through a coherent sentence or by Gerard Healy (yes him) because he’s got sores on his bum for sitting on the fence for 50 years and has never been brave enough to stick his neck out with an opinionated statement for fear of being criticised or attracting the ire of the AFL power brokers.

amen

That’s truly excellent!!!

Heard a local Buchanan fireman on 774 talking to Raf He was rapt with the whole club in how they helped with fencing and manual labour. The players were also at the cricket/footy club bowling in the nets and having a kick with the locals.

 

[Sicily]

Fantastic culture at the club at the moment - makes you bloody proud to be a supporter when you hear things like this

 

[TAITA]

We did it for a large part of the 80s, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Care to elaborate because I'm calling bullshit.

I know of one case with a particular player from SA but that was it.

Platts with the box of choccies with a layer of cash underneath for his mum is one that comes to mind.

Of course we resorted to sharp practice.
Darren Jarman‘s wife was “employed” by the social club as I recall. My understanding is that the only time she was there was to pick up her pay cheque. I may be wrong but it was always a standing joke.

You’re kidding yourself if you think we were as pure as the driven snow.

Well back then I was in my second year as a carpentry apprentice under my old man. A particular company we were doing work for had a couple of labourers D. Jarman and M. Robran. As a young Hawks fan I thought it was the greatest thing ever.

Did the actually pick up a spade??

 

[Soft as malaxos]

Did the actually pick up a spade??

Haha. Yeah they actually did. They both worked reasonably hard all things considered. It was pre season though, we only did a couple of jobs for that company as they were a little slack on paying. No idea if they were both still labouring during the season.

I vaguely remember Jarman working for Box Hill Council too ...Planting trees ???

Curious if anyone knows, our preseason game v st.kilda down at Moorabbin, everyone I have spoken to seems to be going.. like every man and his dog. Do we have to buy tickets for these games or just rock up because that joint is gonna fill up

Its to raise money for Bushfire so I imagine money will change hands somewhere

Think you're talking about the Morewell game on the 28th, unless our preseason game is also a fundraiser

 

[Bugs1977]

With the long weekend in full swing I thought I’d post this little memory from good ol 2008

 

[Rushed_Behind]

Watching the 2013 PF replay I’m still bemused how Varcoe missed to the right.

I’ve been wondering the same - it’s not far away really.

I remember a day a couple of friends and I came across D. Jarman on a ride on mower cutting the verge in front of Box Hill city oval. He took off as soon as he realised we knew who he was!

Jarman the ‘barman’. What an absolute weapon
