Bit slow but a really good, strong mark. Was he from Alexandra, same as Mr Two-of-each, Les stillman?

Yep, me too.
You can learn all sorts of things about the club and it’s history from conversations like that.

I thought you were around back then with Noonan, so you already knew these things?
We all have different experiences though.
And I like it when people reminisce about things about the club.
You can learn things you missed, or see something from a new perspective, etc.
And to be fair, Noonan was around when you caught and killed your own clothing.
They were manufacturing it by the time I was born.

Hmmm, Its a long time since anyone called me sonny, I was talking about myself with the reference to “old dudes”

It’s called history, and it is one of the things that makes this club so great.

Remember only police quest from that list.
Doing better than me then, l don’t know any of them.
I bet most people in here wouldn’t even know what “clocking a game” meant!

Derived from “clocking your opponent”
That is seriously good trivia.
iIRC Perry was “the tarantulo” (as against “tarantula”), for some obscure reason.
Been overseas the last couple of weeks and after watching the Tigers match live on tv I was only able to see Francis’ highlights against Port rather than live.
Those dukes and reading of the play ability are top notch. The Mcavaney frothing was for once enjoyable. Bring on many years of froth.
Bit disappointed we didn’t bring him in earlier but a salivating end to his AFL season.
Probably in jest - but derived from turning the clock-counter over on pinball machines.
