Thanks Saintly. Are you taking notes BringouttheGimp . ? Pay particular attention to the bit about Cambodian pancakes.

that's the important bit

dude is on a winning streak. cut him some slack.

Barassi at Melbourne got more than a fair run as did Norm Smith at South,

When the great Jock had his team gutted by WWII there was lean years.

But just for fun, I love the Kevin Murray story as coach.

Poor bugger coaches them all year not a win, has a game of state football duties, and his stand in coaches the Roy's to their only win. Classic

Do not care how we win at the moment as long as it's winning, the pretty stuff can wait till later

It's not like our best teams (1990 & 2010) played attractive footy - they just got the job done

I remember some very good teams that played pretty football, but when it came to finals not good enough,no tough enough

Oh yeah I know we all have the scars to prove it 1970 right through to 1990

I try not to think about folk who drink Venezuelan tea and eat obscure scones and attend protests to save the whale and heritage tree.. when all they want to do is pick pocket your cigs given the chance. People should concentrate on being good.. rather than walk down Brunswick st window shopping for antique cutlery.. when they should know it's actually rusted.

I'm starting to think you don't rate Bucks much as a coach Gimpy.

Who have you up set now with your lovely sense of humour doodles

Springvale has Asian cuisine
Brunswick? That's for poached eggs with a slice of watermelon

1990, there wasn't really any outstanding team that year, we were the last one standing.

Pretty much. Contrast our game style to that of the 1989 grand final

Jock McHale available for next season?

Would explain why Eddie has been interviewing necromancers and was last seen making a bee line for Umbrella Corporation HQ in the company of one Dr Victor Frankenstein.

I keep reading about the word 'experience', who on here had experience in their first job?

Every career change I had was due to someone giving me the opportunity based on other skills I brought and not based on experience.

'66, '70 teams were both skilled and tough enough (same with '64 and 2002) Sometimes stuff just happens that you can't beat on the day and you get beaten by a better side on the day.

'64 A back pocket player followed his man to a contest and kicked a winning goal (his only goal of the year) Back pockets in '64 played defence, they never went forward!
'66 Barry Breen
'70 Tuddy and McKenna knocked each other rotten b4 half time, remember McKenna had 5 goals to half time but played concussed in the second half.
'77 Carman gets himself reported (he was good for 4 goals a game)
'79 Harmesey knocks it back from the carpark! (if he wasn't such a good bloke I'd hate him for that!)
'02 Rocca's goal would have put us 2.5 goals up and we would have gone on with it, straight up the other end for a 12 point turn around

1980 we just weren't good enough, same in '81 (though Chocco tried to will us over the line) and the same in 2003 (Brisbane were a great side). So I can realise when we're just batting against insurmountable odds. The '64-'90 legacy just comes down to luck in so many instances.

The one that scarred me was 1973 Prelim. I was just a kid. I was there. That side was brilliant but brittle. I believe that 1970 probably cost us several real cracks including the years 71-74...and it's ghost reared its head in the last quarter of the 77 flag quest

Yes has been awhile.

no such thing as getting your first job with no experience now.

Then how do you get jobs if no experience?
Think it still happens but depends on which type of jobs.

And best team in finals, really tackled and pressured well.
Got Essendon measure never Let it go
