I was so close to erasing that from my memory, damn it

Always happy to remind others of our past traumas. We got Justin Murphy at the same time.

Please don't forget Richard Cole and Ty Zantuck. If we're going to open old wounds we might as well do it properly.

Oh wow, I'd completely forgotten about Richard Cole!!!

It truly was a special time to be a Don's fan, witnessing the beginning of the battle for relevance that continues to this day.

Doc Wheildon…

Wheildon left Fitzroy after the 1994 season and played at West Adelaide before he was given another chance at AFL, recruited by Essendon with pick 15 in the 1995 AFL Draft. He however never got a chance to play for them after he was hit by a taxi in King Street and badly injured his legs, ending his career.

Before we had the bow and arrow, don't forget we had the shotgun

Getting back on track, 2024 will tell us if Todd is the Goldsteindard.

Ah yes Richard Cole, that name still traumatises Collingwood supporters. Taking him ahead of Nick Dalsanto!! I can’t recall even dodo getting one that wrong.

Currently our best player is a 35 year old .

We took Shane Harvey ahead of Stevie J and a host of others that draft. Glass houses etc.

To be fair Richie had some off field stuff going on.

All the more reason to have no archery. Unoriginal.

No way Heppell's better than Goldstein.

Ugh. Jay Neagle choosing to play on vs. Geelong.
I had such high hopes.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Yes, definitely.

 

[Nifft]

Correct

Living with Bev Knight is a lot

it is not all that funny.

 

[Vander18]

My boy!

Inarguably our best ruck since Madden, perhaps even eclipses Simon. Fully expect him to be AA.

Is that how this my boy thing works?

Pump, but if you make it into the DP thread, I think you have to hand him back. It’s a fine line.

 

[BrunoV]

Belts the piss out of Reeves, a 7 footer, is the single biggest impact on our scoring (I.e. the clean break out of the middle), and he's the one guy whose influence could not be replicated, for example by stat padding at half back (we actually traded a guy who could do it for Hawthorn for a bag of chips if you think there some real skill to it) and he gets rewarded with no coaches votes.

It's just another part of the AFL system that I will pay no attention to except to occasionally mock.

That’s just how good my boy is!

 

[Zach Package]

He’ll cruise past 10,000 career hitouts in about a month.

First to do it by a long way and Gawn would have to play 4 more full years to get near him.
