thanks for the explanation bondiblue ,you make sense .

Was 1983, wet old day at PP, I watched from the outer as Chris came on at half time and played on Doull who was having a blinder.

Chris moved on ball in the last, had 3 kicks and a couple of HBs. Saints went down by 109 pts and 19th man Chris McAsey (1st gamer) was the only player dropped. Game also remarkable as the only time T Lockett played FB.

I’ll stay out of the Fish discussion….all I’d say he’s a quality young man who has to make his own decisions.

Good onya london

That's it Doull!!!

That's all you need to say.

To suggest Marchbank would be left on the scrap heap and homeless if we dont offer him a contract is ludicrous.

He turns 26yo this year. An amazing physical specimen with agility and speed, and did I mention he can take a mark too. He's back on his feet.

Please don't tempt Marchy to look elsewhere if his body is finally sound. He wouldn't be getting a game in VFL or AFL if his body wasn't sound.

Its obvious some Carlton fans dont rate Marchy. I can understand being weary of him being injury prone. But saying he has no value.....well I disagree.

I love the job he did against Fritsch on the weekend.

He did after all have 356 of them.

Maybe 355.

A little hard to accept the 6.0 Dunstall kicked on him in the 86 GF as a “blinder”…

A bit like Sir Donald Bradman telling Andy Robert’s he would have scored at least a half century against him, when Andy Robert’s scoffed Sir Donald replied well I am 75 these days.

Yeah , i was there standing in the outer getting wet and freezing . That was a pretty standard win for us in those days . Cant remember anything about McAsey .................as far as the young bloke goes i'll put my faith in those doing the recruiting .

Does anyone know much about Harry Cunningham, he's a free agent at the Swans.
He could be a good 'mature' addition to the team.

28yo, 181cm & 80kgs.

Swans Profile.

Tough, competitive, speedy. Typical Swan.
He'd be best 22 when fit and firing.
Quiet achiever like George Hewett.
I think he'll only be good for a year or two....I wish he was 25-26yo like George

I think that's all we will need him for TBH.
At 28 he could potentially be around for 4 years though.
Just think of him as a top up player to create depth and give the younger ones a chance to develop more in VFL.

Kicks it long but sprays his short-medium kicks too often.

Looking forward to seeing our potential realised.

Can she spend 5 minutes a quarter on ball?

If anything, he’d be sure to trigger a response from the footy gods with miraculous recoveries from our own Cuningham and Philp, or a quantum leap in talent by the likes of Honey.

Look what happened when George was up & about - inside mids for days. Nekminnit, he tweaks his back and we’re playing Doc in there.

Powerful medicine with that Swans list.

A bit off topic but I remember the late great Dean Jones telling the story of his double tone against the West Indies and big Merv scored 70 odd not out at the Adelaide Oval.
At the end of play, they were in the Windies dressing room having a couple of beers with them when Sir Don walked in. Went to Deano and said "great knock son". Then wandered over to Merv who was beaming thinking Don was about to compliment his batting. Don just looked at him, shook his head and said "strange game cricket" and walked on.
He then made his way to Patrick Patterson who was sitting head bowed after copping a pasting from Viv Richards for his poor bowling efforts. Don said to him "you bowled rubbish today son". At that, Patterson leapt up and got into Don's face and said "if you were out there today I would've killed you."
Sir Don looked at him and laughed and responded with "you couldn't even get Merv Hughes out. How do you think you would've gone against me?"
