Kicked 5 at the G one night against the Pies when were were struggling and we got up . That will do me. A memorable game,hostile,loud & we won.
Also kicked one of the all time run and bounce goals at The SCG against the Roos and we got up
Anything to jack off Collingwood supporters makes me happy.
Who is his brother ??

[QUOTE=swan_song;361671]Best players seen: Bobby Skilton/Greg Williams
QUOTE]
Must say i only saw Skilton at the end of his career but he was a much better player than Williams. Could kick beautifully off either foot, strong inside, brilliant outside and couragous. Williams was more one dimensional and lacked pace. Very good player but not a great. Bobby Skilton was the greatest player to every play for the Bloods since the 60's. For what its worth the worst player (attitude and indiscipline outweighted his undoubted talent) was David Rhys-Jones. Saw him knock Garry Buckenara unconscious in an unprovoked cowardly punch on the edge of a pack at the SCG. I reckon Bucky paid us back in spades when he coached us. The other black mark against Rhys-Jones was that he deserted to Carlton. UnforgiveableBevo bandwagon driverComment

Rhys Jones was an absolute star junior footballer. He missed most of the first half of the season in the Federal League U18's then proceeded to be BOG in every remaining game to win the B&F. Shane Morwood was in the same comp and from memory was Runner Up.
The great thing about that was both these blokes were in our recruiting zone in Melbourne.
Unfortunately for DRJ he found the demon drink much to his liking too early in his VFL career. I suspect he ended up with Carlton because they had plenty of filthy lucre shoved under the table, just like Williams magically moved into a mansion in the very expensive, leafy suburb of Kew.Comment

he told me once he got paid with an empty envelope,thats they way we were back then,no money false promises.
so when the carlton scum came along with a offer to massive to refuse he couldn't resist.
as for the drink there were many south players who used to have a drink and still played good footy.Comment

Favourites: Paul Kelly, Adam Goodes and Gerard Healy
Biggest Disappointments: Stephen Allender (couldn't believe they talked him up so much and then we had a tug of war with Carlton for him) and Jamie Lawson (for other sad reasons).Comment

The really sad part about the false promises was the VFL was hell bent on getting the club to Sydney but treated them like paupers when they got there. If the club was financially strapped when it got to Sydney the VFL didn't seem to want to change that status. Stange state of affairs indeed. You can bet your life that a second club in Sydney will have all the riches of the AFL lavished on it.Comment

My point about the drink was he could have been right up there with the super stars of the game. As talented as almost anyone but perhaps not the most dedicated might be a better way of putting it.
