Did anyone else watch that movie 'Young Einstein' as a kid, and believe it was a true story based on the life of Albert Einstein? :lol:

Of course it's going to be a while I assume before I can physically work there (which would be a huge bonus for me), can anyone brief me what it's like to live away from family? I'm comfortable in my own company and don't need people around me to function as a person.

My marriage is already shagged and I have little interest in flogging a dead horse, the distance might even rejuvenate it and rid it of the debris that ruined it.

Did the blokes who grew up watching footy in the 40’s, 50’s & 60’s who then watched footy in the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s think, WTF has happened to the game?

So now it’s our turn, as blokes who grew up watching footy in the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s who watch the game now, and think...what a load of shit?
1961, 1971, 1976, 1978, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 2008, 2013, 2014, 2015.... And don't you forget it!

Probably didnt have as many changes in the game from 40/50/60 to 70/80/90 as there has been from 70/80/90 until now.

My old man is in his 70’s and still maintains the football in the mid 80’s to 90’s was the best era of football. I’ve heard that from a few people in that age bracket

Agree. The 70’s - 90’s were the halcyon days, sadly gone forever.

I'd have to agree with this era, with the peak being sometime around the mid-nineties.

Agree even now I watch more games from this era than current games - just a far better spectacle.. not over umpired, genuine 1v1 contests, power forwards, shoot outs, foot skills on both feet, plodders with footy brains not robotic athletes who are over coached but lack basic fundamentals.

I also liked the various grounds, and clubs having a "home", and the different muddy conditions served up in poor weather.

Everything now is so generic.

There were some bloody good teams. They were up there for sure. Blues of 95 were probably my pick of the lot.

It kind of looks like football, but it can't be the same game...

People ran and bounced the ball, played on, kicked truly, scored more than 4 goals and there wasn't 35 people behind the ball at all times...

What is the sorcery from the dark ages?
