Swampy....
Played 90 GF, did my knee in the GF in the opening quarter - lost by 60 odd points
Played all year in 91, got Glandular fever and pulled out of the side on the morning of the GF, we won by 9 pts.
Played 92 GF, down by 3pts with 30 seconds to go. FF takes a mark about 35m from goal, slight angle, kicks it out on the full. FB kicks it back in, siren goes.
Played 97 GF, lost by 40pts.
Never won one of the barsteds!
I'm 0-3 from about 195 games all up.
gee wizz did you run over a black cat!
good luck for the future it is one of the greatest feelings or one of the lowest as you would know:-(
Dunno about "future" BOH, I'm now 40 years old. I think my time is well and truly up! But thanks for the thoughts.
the one that i enjoyed the most was the B grade flag it was just a team of mates running around the park some good memories.
my A grade flags i won when i was 19-20-21- i was young and really appreciate them and was 33 when i won the B grade flag after giving A grade away and played with most of my best mates.
