Always wondered if I'd bought you the wrong beer at the cricket a few years back.

I'm happy for there to be any discussion on my topic of choice.
Every year someone misses out on playing in a flag, for whatever reason - injury, form, match-ups, suspension. That's footy. I agree that you don't play, you don't get a medal. Don't take my word for it, though, my club barely knows when grand final day is. I know the above 'cos I read it on the back of a matchbox.
Speaking of people who missed out on playing in grand finals, or those who 'missed in' (so to speak - see what I did there?), how about Royce Hart's cameo for the Bays in the 1969 grand final? Before my time, but surely that must've caused a stir at least among the Sturt crowd?
I remember reading accounts that he'd been knocked out in the second quarter or something, but apparently that's wrong, and Hart actually played the game out and quite well.

Don't hold me to it mate, but I think he was the first send off, and I think his offence was bad enough (apparently a king hit on Romani Negri - I wasn't at the game) that it was a straight send off, or was reported by multiple umpires so got his marching orders.
There was a bit going on behind the scenes at Norwood late in the 80's and early 90's and I always wondered if that played a part in him losing the plot. He was a hard bugger (wouldn't expect anything else from a Balme I suppose), and he could give a clip here and there, but I never saw him properly belt someone from memory.

Are you at liberty to elaborate on the 'behind the scenes' stuff?

Probably not mate as Ive only heard some stories 3rd hand. Allegedly it was the type of stuff you'd expect at the Bay lol
