News Hugh Jackson returns to Crystal Brook

[AlbertPower]

Sorry to hear that Hugh, hope you’re doing okay.

Doing fab Josh

 

[Steve Dore]

lol, a poster whose posts have largely either praised Huge Jackson or denigrated players who have taken Hugh's place.

Time to move this thread to Club 1870.

 

[Willsy10]

He just wasn’t that good. I don’t understand the conspiracy theories. 4 years on the list, showed **** all, and no physical attributes or athletic ability to hang your hat on. End of story.

It gets moved when it falls to page 2 on the main port board, and comes back if someone bumps it again.

Disagree. He was fine when he played. Sure, was on the list for 4 years but probably 2 of those were a write off with hip issues and other injuries.

Of the games that he did play, was involved in a lot of the scoring chains, whether direct goal assists or clever handballs.

Probably could be a bit bigger, but that's hardly on the player, that's on the fitness staff.

I'm not privy to his so called off field issues, but maybe that's where captain or coach should have a sit down and let him know he has the talent, just needs to pull his finger out.

We have kept a lot worse on the list, that's for sure.

So the Nick Stevens thread should be back on the main board?

Probably had a couple okay games against the giants and blues but it was largely underwhelming for me.

Plus he was small and skinny, didn’t seem to have strong running ability either. Quite often gassed and or subbed off in the second half, didn’t seem overly quick either.

Not sure it was any harsher than Dylan Williams delisting, at least he had one good season in the AFL. Lachie charleson didn’t even get a go.

It’s just the nature of the industry.

Well yeah, I'm even dirtier on the way Williams was treated

Was bumped the other day, "comes back when someone bumps it".

Just looking at Mitch zadow and balyn Obrien highlights and I think I’d rather take a punt on them than go back to the jackson and Williams well

Yes it came back, then it fell off again.

 

[RossFC]

Confirmed back at Crystal Brook.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lol my in laws live in CB. Absolutely dead town with the worst pub. The food is horrendous. I've had to eat there quite a few times as it was the only place open. Lovely people, McCain TV Meals tier food.

 

[cretinboy]

Crystal Brook bakery is decent, like the golf course also.

Didnt the bakery shut? Could be wrong.

Haven't been there for a while, may have, used to visit cb heaps, grand parents lived there. Cheap old houses on big blocks, sometimes think I'd live there in a bent fantasy world.

I have strangely considered it, but if I wanted to live there - i'd probably buy the pub.

A couple years ago the Mrs and I stopped in there around midday on a Sunday on the way back from a wedding in Melrose, hoping for a hearty country pub feed. It was shut (edit: and NOTHING else was open either). Sounds like a blessing in disguise going by your review!

 

[Alberton Proud]

CB always good for a last petrol stop on the way to Melrose for some MTB fun

 

[MALTSY]

You can get a good coffee in CB. Last good coffee option until you get to Melrose. A few ex afl players lining up in northern areas association this season, including Patrick Wilson

[Scholz Supremacy]

Crystal Brook was known for its pasties if I’m not mistaken.

I thought that was Quorn.

Cornish pasties.

Colts won the premiership last year, my nephew plays for em. Went down to Jamestown for the GF last year.

My then 3 year old was in the rooms on my nephews shoulders after the win with no idea wtf was going on but he got a guernsey all signed by the team which now hangs on his room wall lol.
