Just stop it, I was 20 years old and right in the middle of my prime years.

I actually called the record score at half time of that game, despite only being 14.14 at the time. The first of countless correct predictions I've made on football over the years.

I remember having to listen to Lions games on the radio but that must have been hundreds of years ago .

The trick to making countless correct predictions is to have the time to make countless predictions.

Thinking about it today, it’s good to see that when we have got the jump on teams we have put them to the sword. Hawks, Freo and Carlton we really pushed ahead to 40-50 point leads and didn’t give them a sniff.

I did that once too but it was because I refused to get Foxtel and there were bugger all Lions games broadcast on FTA in Canberra.

Also Friday night football now but those aren't Lions games.

This was pre Foxtel when all games were delayed. So even rather than waiting half an hour to watch it love I'd listen to it

I've been called a spring chicken a few times.......less the spring

Good to see Bob Beecroft too - barracked for Swan Districts in the WAFL, then barracked for the Lions after he left Swans to join the Lions.

Love that article in the corner about Van Der Haar.

His son plays at the club I am involved in. Ripping guy Paul, stands over with a group of us & still enjoys a beer & dart.
