R11 Sydney v Carlton at the SCG, The Marn Grook Game - Match Thread

[caj23]

Not wanting to derail thread, I recall us drafting Darryn Creswell in the original mid-season draft some 30 years ago. Probably the greatest mid season draft pick up of all time!

I think Dale Lewis may have been a mid-season draft pick as well

Add Andrew Dunkley as well. If I recall correctly he was in the same draft as Darren Cresswell

Lizard had the ball, was headed into the square, when Lloyd called to him. Lizard threw him the ball and Lloyd took the kick in. No idea what was said, and there was no disagreement per se. Just looked like the senior player was the shot caller.
I noticed because I'm a huge fan of the astonishing boldness (and capacity to wreak chaos) of the Lizards kick outs, and look forward to seeing what will happen next hen he has the ball. Whereas many of Lloyd's kick ins seem to be dinky 20-30 metre kicks to the pocket.
So many of our goals seem to come from backline thrusts, I'm not sure we get the maximum benefit from the oppositions points with the ball in Lloyd's hands.

There’s heaps more dare and unpredictability with the ball in Nicks hands and I too get excited to see what will happen next.

Fair enough, didn’t think about the mid season drafts of yore.

Not quite, I have cranked up the wayback machine and Dunkley was our 5th pick in the '91 National draft - interestingly Andrew McGovern (the father of Jeremy and Mitch) was our first pick, but his sons didn't qualify for father son. Cressa was our surprise 4th pick from the '92 mid season draft.
Dale Lewis was the #2 pick in the '90 midseason draft, he was expected to go early as he was killing it in Ballarat.

We should probably be insulted that Carlton is taking losing to us as a sign of how bad they're going but I'm having too much fun watching them implode to be offended! [emoji2]

Long may they linger at the foot of the ladder!

Long may they rot in purgatory. Up their with the fairypuppies on my other club dislike scale.
