Round 15 - Gabju Reaching 300

Gonna put the banter aside for a day to reflect on this little master.

In years to come we'll be telling our kids about this legend of the game the same as how my Pop talks about Toddy, Billy Walker and Hayden Bunton Jr and the way my old man talks about Cable and Matthews.

Impossible to tackle, untaggable, plays inside and wins clearances and can move outside with elite disposal and is extremely dangerous around goal.

Games - 299

Goals - 282

Brownlow - 2 ( should be 3)

All Australian - 8

Premierships - 2

The only blemish to ny mind is that I can't help but think what could have been if he stayed with Geelong.

Thu, 2017-06-29 16:34

I thought of the most glib joke I could in regard to this observation in the round 14 thread:

I see Partington collected a lazy 28 touches and kick 4.2 in a losing side yesterday. Based on those numbers we'll no doubt see Masten or Redden get the call up next week.

Not only has Partington not beeen selected. BOTH of Masten and Redden have! FFS!

 Well eh....

 

Andy, we came close.... I had a punt on them both below 39 also which would have been nice and pulled me outa the red in this kkkknty season but Walters rushed the kick and Johnston and Hill stood there gifting the Saints that mark with a minute to go...

 

Very unlucky loosing Sandi WHO THEY NEED TO WIN so early, he also woulda been able to kill enough time to ice it but oh well, who'd a thought the Hawks would be sitting just outside the 8...

 

I'd like to play a few pieces of commentary regarding the Hawks that i heard early in the year about where they are going to find any talent blah blah blah.....

 

Lets just wait and see eh...

 

They play Giants in Tassie then Geelong at the G, Freo at the house of gain then Sydney at the G....

 

They might to start to make some noise should they win most of them.....

 

Dogs are gone, Dee's are gone, Dockers are gone, Pies are gone

 Saying "Showed effort" makes me feel better when we lose .. 

 

Won't be playing finals this year , still a ways off having a tilt there's a few issues that need to be sorted..  that forward line player / structure setup thing up would be a good start . I blame those useless forward coaches Guerra and Hale .

Now I’ve heard it all. Danny Green (aka Mr Coward’s Punch) has publically stated that Tom Bugg will be unlucky to cop a lengthy ban because “obviously he (Mills) doesn’t have a strong chin”.

 
I think old mate has copped too many punches to the head and doesn’t realise that knocking a bloke out who isn’t even facing you is as unacceptable on the footy field as it is on the street.
 
Bizarre comment from someone who stakes his reputation as the creator of the ‘coward’s punch’ campaign.
