Looked like he tried hard. But our defensive structure was all kinds of ordinary when he was promoted (not that it was necessarily his fault). It wouldn't surprise me if he gets another shot for us.
Who?
well played lol... I don't know if the guy was ever ready for FG... what was he like 6th in line or something at Pemriff, outside of injuries
Ha. The issue is we originally signed him for 3 years, so 2 to go and he’s barely seen first grade (for good reason based on what we saw earlier this year).
Or like Utai. Fuck I loved that guy!!!
been watching some of the old footage that members have been posting lately... some of his efforts in the 2004 finals were absolute beast mode.. I think it was the grand final or one of the semis where he made that big play in getting out of the in goal to make a break down field
He was epic for us. Absolute weapon!
hard.. the amount of times he beat multiple defenders in the tightest of spaces.... may not have received the accolades like some of the other players from that team, but he was just as important.... there really were no weaknesses in that squad
Probably not - more an issue of a squad spot for 2 years that maybe could be better used. But that will always happen to some degree. Two words: John Olive.
or maybe he will start putting as much work on the field as he does in the gym... bulking up is one thing, but it needs to be utilised if you're a professional footballer....
No ego. Thats the thing. Imagine mitchell or Ramien. Remember mason in his day, the effect he would have had on younger players with his ego.
Ha. No, Olive was released. No need to call Concord to ask for any help
I notice the ball looks different to the older style - becoming more like an AFL ball. League balls were more pointed and rounder than the AFL ball, but the resemblance nowadays is much closer. That means a different kicking style to when Shifty was playing - particularly drop kicks.
The good ol days!The post try commentary is brilliant... Fatty and Sterlo in their prime
"we talk about Minichiello leg drive, what about those little ones going"
"ohh, weren't they pumping"
watch it with the subtitles on... even funnier
he's probably too young for them anywayHa. No, Olive was released. No need to call Concord to ask for any help
Sure bloody was. Great team.
I really want to believe that we are on the way to that place again. Comeradere and teamwork are the foundations of a good team. Too many egos and it wont work. So we build the platform and then build on that. This is what it appears we are doing to me.
