The positives thread

[Mr Ripper]

Whilst on the subject of Fitzroy and years with 4's in them, some familiar faces in this old TBT:

Brad Boyd stamped himself as a champion that day. Debut game of Johnson, Molloy and Barker.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Yeah, he didn't mind showing them off.

Would have been a good match race between those two. Doug Cox could really motor.

Welcome. You are officially part of the Over 50's Clique. We are a wise group, with a deep appreciation of our game, developed through close observance of the great moments, great players and great changes in VFL / AFL football over the last 50 or so years.

And booze. I'm sure it's influenced my appreciation of the game.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Should we start an Over 50's Clique Thread in The Den? It could be a place where we could post our pieces of nostalgia, images of memorabilia, reflections on the old days of the VFL, great games we have attended, champion players we have seen etc, etc.

There's the problem. I'll never remember where it is.

In The Den - Over 50 Clique Thread is up in The Den.

 

[skittlebrew]

I'm sure its been mentioned a thousand times already in this thread...

The lanky overlord Hipwood!!!

All the media attention on Schache was misplaced, who cares, Hipwood is where it's at.

I believe one of the keys to crows recruitment was picking players who were naturally competitive and had some grit. Hipwood has it in spades. Can't wait til his body fills out, he will go straight into beast mode.

*I'll show myself out

Love Hoggys "handpass" and Superboot laughing in the background

Didn't Hoggy score 3 in this one, his biggest 'haul' at Fitzroy?

 

[Milk Steak]

Woooo,free tickets and much desired XXXX merchandise won for this weeks game. You're all welcome to join me in the nose bleeds and look at my dandy new stubby cooler.

I'm in. That way we could could have a clique which was comprised of long time students of the game. We would bring a Yoda like authority to our board. We could accommodate members who had seen club legends like Kevin Murray, John Murphy, Gary Wilson, David McMahon, Warwick Irwin, Bernie Quinlan and other champion players like Bob Skilton, Ron Barassi, Keith Greig, Ted Whitten, Alex Jesaulenko, Kevin Bartlett, John Nicholls, Royce Hart, Robbie Flower, Francis Burke and so many other greats actually play.

I'm 57 although I can offer nothing pre 2000 as that is when I was converted from a Broncos, Rugby League loving heathen to an enlightened Brisbane Lions loving AFL devotee.

I'm just relieved he's showing up on your monitor as well.It's a bit scary.

He hasn't got Bob from Twin Peaks in him has he?

 

[M Malice]

Yep, the Super League war turned me off RL and the Lions were starting to show something so I went along to my first live game in 1999 IIRC and loved it I then went to a game v Collingwood in 2000 when Vossy kicked that long torpedo goal and the rest is history.

I am so proud.

I can still remember Tony Ongarello doing a place kick.

I thought Vossy's goal was a drop punt. Lol.
