Who was the childhood hero?

Grant Coffee - the Doggies full forward from the 80's and 90's.

Had the pleasure of meeting him in person at the SANFL Media Awards night, it was great.

just come back to GG mate, pretty sure he's coaching a junior side here.


P.s my year seems pretty dull compared to a few of them here

Hawks winning 2008 AFL flag...

And also the bays season (except the 2nd Semi and Grand), nice to follow a team with more W's than L's for a change.

I have been looking for a post I sent in mid 2004 (Must have been on the old footysa site), where I was staring at the dreaded 'double spoon', how things change...

Condolences Psyber.... that's a year to forget for sure !! Good memories never fade though mate...

My highlight was the birth of my second boy, winning the C5 Premiership as captain and adding to my A grade and B grade flags and winning an Association medal

Lowlights were breaking 4 bones in my back, 2 ribs, 1 finger, my youngest dog dying of a stroke and South Adelaide once again doing nothing....

Roll on 2009 !!
