Yes he was. So he couldn’t make a comeback with us, and play against them. They did so, not expecting him to actually play for them. Now that is respect.
This was a good show, but what the people really want is a doco about our 2009 season.

Here’s a great find on YouTube of a late 1992 game against North Melbourne. Just about the start of the Baby Bombers here with Misiti making his debut, Hird in his 3rd game, Michael Symons in his 2nd game, plus some strong showings by Paul Hills and Gavin Wanganeen. The brilliance of Wanganeen is just so evident here.

Bump. To help forget this flat pre GF week for us Blitzers arguing like rats in a sack over our new coach. In case this compilation hadn’t been posted already. You never get tired of that era.

I went to that game.
Think it was the one where Hird got shifted on to Ablett, he kicked 6 goals on him, but full marks for endeavour.
I seem to recall a deal between the coaches that they would both play attacking games.

I was driving from Ballarat to Ocean Grove to see my then girlfriend. Long drive as I stopped on the side of the road near Meredith to listen to the game

That Bewick kick from the boundary in the Prelim. Was directly in line with it in the pocket. Never looked like missing. Have to admit that at half time, it looked pretty hopeless.
