Was just saying to old mate Dean the other day the same thing; if we had of kept our powder dry and not pursued Beams, who knows? Mighta been able to make a play...who would you prefer at high half forward?Monco Matt wrote:Agree 100%. The Suns v Saints game was superb. A great combination of pressure acts and fluid skill execution, the complete opposite to our game but to be fair Sydney are a drag you down team, fortunately they weren't able to drag us down too much more from where we already were.5 from the wing on debut wrote:If anyone deserves congratulations its the AFL. Their programming was brilliant. They put on the shit low quality support act first (Pies v Swans) as a warm up for what everyone wanted to see - the fast paced, highly skilled Saints v Suns game. That game actually made me enjoy watching football again.It was amazing. I really rated Dan Butler when he was at Richmond and it kills me to see that the Saints got him for nothing.
On Dan Butler, I can't believe we didn't make a play for him, or if we did why didn't we land him. He is EXACTLY what we need, a fast, smart player who knows where the goals are. He is the pickup of the season and it really amazed me that the Tigers couldn't find a way to hold on to him, salary cap pressure probably. Our recruiting just doesn't hit the mark does it? Name me one Collingwood player you can see sprinting hard into the forward line to score a goal on the rebound? We have nobody capable of that.

I just can't believe that was 30 years ago, it seems like yesterday.
The ball landed almost at our feet.
The most magic day in my football life.

Lacking a few inches on either of those esteemed gentlemen though surely Lazza?Lazza wrote:Madgen reminds me of Gayfer. Noble’s constant running out of the defence was Shane Morwood like. Yeah I felt the entire team preparation and attitude was different. I suppose this season such vagaries will be a constant given the travel, training, timing of games and the less playing time. Just get the job done and get out must be their game mantra for each game. For once I couldn’t care less about the style of game as long as they bloody win.
A great game by Noble nevertheless

That was a drop punt though wasn't it? Even harder I would have said5 from the wing on debut wrote:I thought the same thing.On the March wrote:Don't want to get too excited but THAT goal reminded me of this

Have a look at the bemused look on Daniher's face.5 from the wing on debut wrote:I thought the same thing.On the March wrote:Don't want to get too excited but THAT goal reminded me of this

Priceless.
Jatsad - That is all
Yes, Peter's goal was a drop punt, from right on the boundary. It was also our 1st goal in that GF after the Bombers had been continually attacking. I have never felt such electricity at a game as then. It may sound silly to say it, but after all of the disappointments we had had in GF's in previous years, when he kicked that goal, I just knew that it was our day. Peter wasn't a novice though, he started in 1980 and 1990 was his 3rd GF. Let's see how his boy does with another 10 year's experience.Ronnie McKeowns boots wrote:That was a drop punt though wasn't it?

You can't say that anymore. It's racist.BazBoy wrote:And for all who saw The Macedonian Marvel we may yet see more of the family brilliance
For all you too young to remember you may well see brilliance that you just won’t believe
Daicos is now just.........The Marvel....which is more apt as more race was better than he.
