And as for '93 The Game, you should remember that we had 6 players who struggled to take the field on that day. We were the best team in that year, but come the GF we were the walking wounded. Great game by King Kerna that day.



We were also carrying a few players that should not have been anywhere near a grand final side, eg, Athorn, Powell :roll: and to a lesser degree Sholl.


I'll happily give you Athorn and Powell but there are plenty of worse players with premiership medallions than Sholl.

I did qualify that by saying "to a lesser degree Sholl". :wink:

According to Dielsel in his book, he only left Geelong because they wouldn't pay him an extra $5000 per year.


A mate of mine is a Geelong supporter and he has always maintained this fact. According to him the offer to join Sydney was $100k, Geelong were offering him $45k and he asked for $50k. Geelong refused.

If being prepared to play for half the Sydney offer and then leaving when Geelong wouldn't come to the party makes him a mercenary...then a mercenery he is.

Diesel was/is a very driven individual who has never taken a short step in footy or in business.

This episode is still eating at him, and he obviously needs to finally do something concrete about it so he can move on.

Whatever we think of this action; it's his decision to make, right or wrong.

Personally; I think he should just let it go....but that's me.
