Gee, the guy to the right of Knights with his head in his hands doesn't look happy. Must be a life-long Essendon* man. :lol:

Ahh Campo, you're so missed around here.

In fairness to Campo before he turned he was a good player for a long time for us. Unfortunately he went to the scum. Everyone has to make a living, even ex footballers.

Yes, and I'm still amazed at the generosity of Essendon* to allow that ex-footballer to continue making a living on their playing list too. :lol:

He was a very good player for us. But when it was his turn to be the senior mid he was more often than not found wanting. An away game against Port Adelaide was about the only fair dinkum exception to that.

you say untradable but i would snap up a 1st round pick for him without a 2nd thought-

This is a quote about a Scum player from Bomber Blitz.

Guess who??

Has to be Stanton or Winderlich??

They were talking about trading Stanton + second rounder for Boak when Boak was unsigned :lol:

Good guess but wrong.

Reimers :lol:

I don't know why we are panicking about Grigg. If Reimers is worth a 1st rounder, we might get a top 5 for Grigg. :lol:

I noticed that a couple of kicking turnovers were to Bombers players who were wearing those light coloured pressure shorts under their black shorts. Even when I was watching I thought it was a Carlton player they kicked to. Do we now need pressure short home and away strips?

as I've said before, this is the one I wanted to win .... sooooooo happy to give them a slapping, the 3 goals in the first 3 minutes of the last quarter was just sooooo enjoyable ... another chapter in the history book

He grew up in SA, WA, and Vic.

Where are you from originally?
I was born in South Australia in Port Lincoln where Dad lived, but I shifted over to Western Australia because my mum lives in Kalgoorlie.

Did you grow up playing AFL?
No not really. I played soccer when I was little and then Dad came and put me into AFL when I was about 11. I moved to South Australia a couple of years later and played in the little league. I then moved to Melbourne to play, and ended up getting picked for the under-18s TAC Cup. I got a chance to play with the Calder Cannons for two years before getting picked up by Carlton.

I'm claiming him for WA using the precedents set by Phar Lap, Russell Crowe and the Finn Brothers.

How could we forget the happiest man in Australia.

Finally, you've been vindicated. Cheers, Bomber Now Blue
