      It's an interesting one, isn't it? IMO most on here would have been of the opinion that our window had slammed shut after bombing out of the finals (and I was with them), but all of a sudden, it maybe, just maybe, has opened a tiny bit now we seem to have gotten the balance right between youth and experience.

      Only thing against us is that this year, the top sides (Cats, Hawks, Dogs) are incredibly skilful, so it'll require more than 'Bloods spirit' if we are to mount a serious challenge this year.

        I think Gavin Wanganeen played 300 games.

          Thanks for that AL. A plate of home delivered bangers and mash are on the way, enjoy.

              He's only one quiet game away from a 'hammo' attack.

              Been a bit quiet the past fortnight our hammo.

                Yeh I know you love your snags.

                A bloke at work is an ex chef and last week brought in the following:

                A rich, thick home made bolognese /paste sauce and sausages.

                He makes the sauce then cooks the snags in the sauce for an hour, thats it. Flavour goes right through the snags. Tastes sensational. Puts it on a bed of plain boiled rice, even that tastes good.

                  good call Nico,

                  says a lot really, a very common folly for some here to knock our champions - i reckon magic is finding different ways of getting the pill in space as time goes on - that said, i am an unabashed fan of this bloke and the way he goes about playing the game!

                  congrats magic!

                    On my favourites list. Deserves his nickname.
                    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

                      I want to have Micky's babies.

                        Imagine trying to catch them when they did something wrong! They'd weave and spin out of trouble and before you knew it they'd be on the other side of the room with their fingers in the light socket.

                            Then they'd look like James Gwilt circa 2005. (think Yahoo Serious)

                              Wanganeen's 300 games did not include any state games or internationals. I am not sure about pre-season.

                              He played 127 games for Essendon and 173 for Port
                              So he probably played a few more if you count state of origin etc

                              Andrew McLeod has played 292 club games for Adelaide, so again if you add state and international (and maybe pre-season) he has probably played more than Micky O

                              I think Micky O may have kicked more goals than any other Aborignal player, just ahead of Jeff Farmer
