    Thanks Meg - an interesting light on Brandon, whose forays into journalism I always enjoy. I'll get the book.

    I think I understand his decision for sociology. Having failed in my first attempt at uni I later paired up with a close friend and we did sociology at UNSW. It helped me to a life change in work and a later change of direction. God bless Gough!

        Yep. Gave me my debt free tertiary education when otherwise it would have been impossible. And there's no coincidence that the golden age of teachers passed through tertiary education in that era when every smart kid had the opportunity go to uni regardless of socio-economic background.

        Just to keep this thread on track, I read or heard a few years ago a former player talking about Warwick Capper being asked to organise a footy clinic at a primary school. Instead of the usual skills sessions, Wazza decided to have a match instead where he played at full forward. The story goes that he was taking marks over grade 5 and 6 kids and yelling 'Capppppeeeer!'
        Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

                  He is a star....but he doesn't need to soil his CV by joining Seven!

                    Most charismatic presenter in the AFL right now. His interview with Bud was sooooo much better than Lewis'.

                      Elijah Taylor, who was to be making a comeback with Perth in the WAFL, has now been injured in a car accident and won’t be playing any time soon

                              Good for him. It has reminded me I may need to get back on the bike. A few too many treats have been consumed of late.

                                Thanks for posting mcs ! Great to hear about AJ!

                                As frustrating and disappointing as the end of his career was, I always remember AJ as the Swan who had the last possession in the 2012 Grand Final triumph!
