Is that the guy who played at Peake last season. I think they called him "Tampon" ?

Not sure how old Brzinski is, tried checking his teeth but couldn't find any.

There is a guy at Morphet Vale still running around in his early 40's ... bald guy , Robertson . He was involved in a incident a couple of years back that cost him his coaching duties for the GF .

What age should us old bastards pull the pin ? I was 36 when i retired years ago and that was a common age in the early eighties .
What i dont know about football isnt worth knowing .

Barrie Clarke that plays for Myponga must be mid 40s and has played over 550 A grade games.

Still plays reasonable footy, tough hard defender and always plays above his height and is an icon in the Great Southern Football League. Multiple Best and Fairests in his time and if i am informed correctly has never played in a winning Grand Final but a couple of people could correct me on that im sure.

A Legend in anyones books!

I think your right about the winning no grabd final winning BJ! Pongy last won 2 in a row about 82' / 83' i think Barry Clarke may have been at Mt compass then !

Coardy is over 500 i think, Barnsey has a few to go yet, if he remains the size of Quin he should do it easy....

Quinn would be well over 40 though surely. Looks closer to Coardys age.

Sorry Mercy - am I wrong. Have seen Quinn play before and looks like he is nearly 50, like the great Allan Coard. He just looks like Al Coard but without much ability or the great man Coards good looks. Quinny ugly bloke. Honestly thought he was the team mascot the little bloke coming out first when I first saw him play

Tom Graetz is 48 or so.
We're trying to convince him to play another season.
Club legend and has played some very good football in the past.
I think he was a member of prem sides at Edwardstown in the late 80s, SAFA days.
