Discussion 2023 Round 4: Teams & In Game Discussion

Young is a massive bust. Reason I'm gonna lose. Bloody hell

 

[Zimmer]

So what you are saying is, the players no longer eat 6 Dim Sims, and have a smoke at half-time, like Mick Nolan did?!

There’s a legendary story Tim Watson (still16 yo) tells of getting a lift to the game with Paul Vanderhaar. Vanders had been on the sauce the night before. On the way stop off for a Burger or two, and in the meantime Vanders kept clocking the pinball machine, so just kept playing. As time kept running out Tim was ****ting himself. They only just made it to the ground in time to get into their kit and run out. Vanders was bog.

 

[Drew]

Wish I ended up going for Rachele, him and Rankine are going to be awesome for Adelaide for years to come…

Hopefully we get the next 10 years with them as the competition premier small forward duo.

 

[7/11]

Michallaney looking very good today. One I missed unfortunately.

 

[Lost In The Sky]

Dawson having a blinder

I used to work with a guy that played SANFL in the 80’s for South Adelaide when the pre season cup was the Escort Cup, he said the Escort rep would be in the rooms after the game handing out cartons of cigarettes. Definitely a different era!

 

[Uncle Drew]

I have no idea how Sturt can't get a game in this ordinary Freo forward line.

 

[Under The Dome]

Dawson matched Docherty in 45 minutes of football.

On track to put 100+ on that score.

 

[Professor]

Got the C on Laird, doing ok after failed Cripps vc. Brennan Cox paying back in spades after last round, not Daicos like, but should ton up.

 

[Zimmer]

Laird is going to kill a fair few of us again.

He's going alright with the tag. I've only got the VC on him, but at this pace he could still post a very good score.

I can remember in the early eighties when I worked in television going into the rooms after the games and as you said they all had cans of VB and a cigarette in their hands

 

[Drew]

Yeah he’s already looking quite comfortable at this level, great pick up by the Crows as a sneaky father-son pick.

It blew my mind as a 15 yo playing my first game of Seniors in a country league to see all the darts come out at halftime. I sort of accepted it playing Seconds, but geez it was strange and reflects how naive I was.

FN: I was smoking darts very soon after. Not during footy games though.

 

[Drew]

Ned McHenry is as hard as box of hammers. Charges into every contest at a million miles an hour.

Trade out of Jackson worked a treat, 98 last week, currently 58 now.

Ah they were the days, when Cigarettes, Beers and Pies were good for you lol

 

[7/11]

You would think Fremantle would switch their tag to Dawson given he has been dominant. Not really helping them on the scoreboard at the moment having it on Laird.

 

[Shannon]

The 50/50 call to start Doch over Dawson hurts with each passing week 😞

 

[Misky]

One of the few/right starting picks this year - Dawson, will probably jinx him now, absolutely killing it

 

[Courtesans]

You bet it does. Dawson is awesome, captain as well.
