Leo Barry and Greg Stafford

Hate is too stronger word for someone you don't know playing a game of football. I have been known to vent my displeasure at players who I don't believe play well and shouldn't be in the side. Those players include the following:

Carey, O'Connor, Bevan, Matthews, McVeigh(early on), Bevan, Jude(when he was @@@@), Bevan, Chambers, Bevan, Kirk( Just for you know who's benefit) and also Bevan.

Leo Barry and Greg Stafford

Well Scott, you'll just have to forgive me.

I hate Didak.

Yes, scrap my previous post about hate. I don't know Didak but yes what loathesome creature.

[Industrial Fan]

And don't forget the Dutch...

The interesting thing from that article was the poor condition Stafford was in by the time he went to the Tigers. Don't think I'd be too impressed if I was a Tigers fan!

To be fair, I think there are a few other reasons you wouldnt be too impressed to be a Richmond fan.

Not even Stafford could do that much damage!!

Greg Stafford played 204 games, kicked 141 goals and averaged 11.1 disposals and 11.7 hitouts per game. As a young man he was one of few bright lights in the 1996 Grand Final for us. He had a 44 hitout game for Sydney in 1998 when the mass stoppage game was not yet in vogue and he had a 29 disposal game as well that year (a ruckman with 29 disposals!In 1998!). In that 1998 season Greg averaged 17.2 disposals and 19.1 disposals.

There is little doubt in my mind that lack of adequate support in his early career hampered Greg considerably, but anyone that booed him or doubted his contribution to Sydney was/is a miserable bugger.

He had such a major contribution that the Swans loved him off to Richmond. Here's to miserable buggers. Probably plenty on Oxford St!

I've never heard the bloke in the Brewongle. maybe it was me. No, I thought Leo was good, especially when he didn't have the ball.

"I remember the crowd. Oh my God. I reckon 35,000 people groaned with collective disappointment. My confidence was shot at this stage, I wasn't playing well. I couldn't do the simplest of things, I was paralysed by my predicament. That was the only incident I can think of with the crowd giving me a hard time. Maybe they were bagging me through my whole career, I don't know, but I certainly heard it this day." Greg Stafford.

He has a short memory, we were booing him regularly during that period. I can't recall injury at the time unless it was a secret. My impression was attitude or lack there of. I wonder if he still has his stalker?

I think the only reason players get booed by supporters is not because of lack of ability but not playing up to their ability.

The ground announcer used to remind the crowd that spectators were not allowed onto the playing arena. One day immediately after the announcement a bloke near us yelled " What's Stafford doing out there then" Cracked us up big time.

Primmy you had better not move any further to your left - we have a classic LRT hater with us I am trying to bring under control. LRT is a classic, because he can ruin an otherwise good game with a Keystone Cops classic that is guaranteed to gift the opposition a goal.

[Bas]

LRT has ben good lately but sometimes you wonder if LRT is not the new Leo Barry of the side. When he's good he's excellent and when he's bad, he's a groan maker.

[Primmy]

I'll admit to a groan with LRT, but there have been massively increasing cheers nowadays, and he is such a sweet bloke I am not going to have evil thoughts. They actually were specifically for one Wayne Carey. Could not STAND the p@@@@. Actually I felt the same about Lloyd, the Precious Poppet. Hmm.....I do have it in me to be not quite nice don't I.

I will boo, but I am not going to hate. Well if I do, I am not going to admit it.

ORB, keep the LRT hater away from me, I don't approve of anyone who actively hates the Sunsilk Kid.

And about Goldie, at that time one Bloke called Rocket had no bloody sense, and he dissed quite a few careers, witness one Craig O'Brien (who staged a magic comeback the week Roos took over - he came back and sat in on the bench for the first game, hilarous), got rid of Goldie (he told me that) and Frosty, Cooky, tried to do it with Kirky, Goodsey, and the list goes on. Actually of them all, I would have to say that the one person who has been at the club (and whose name is not Scotty Russell), who made me want to scratch his face was Rocket.

[Bob Neil]

That joke Kelly always got my goat.

[Primmy]

Oh my, how could I forget. Barlow....not hate mind you, but that awful groan that wafts around the ground when....well you know the rest.

Yeah that pretty much sums it up for me too Al.

[CureTheSane]

Gotta say that Jude Bolton will finish his career with a much bigger wrap than he's had for most of it.
Me included - I've learn't to appreciate him more in time, even if he can't kick

Scott Russell

Did you see him on TV last week at the 20 yr Mugpies GF reunion. Nearly as big as the MCG.
