TOPIC:

AR was it Damien Read & Andrew Brice that were surprise inclusions in the 87 finals for you blokes?

BH: right again.

According to Ric's site, Brice played four games and Damien Read, one game in the grand fineal. Funnily enough, I remember Brice, with his blonde hair, but not Read.

I have tried to forget about 1987.

Vaguely remember him as a smallish, slightly built running player AR.
He played 11 games from 1987-89 after getting a somewhat surprising call up for the GF as only a 17yo.

BH: I think Bunton and Loxley set the young man a bit of a task to be honest given the nature of the game and the opposition. Perhaps, they were tryin to psych out Neesham in hs first finals series? That Claremont side was dominant, although, I do remember them winning a few games by narrow margins.

Does anyone remember a bloke called Brendon Sloan -- played one game without gaining a possession in 1987 -- first game of the season.

Lol at the irony of the thread title, looks like the chickens have come home to roost

PN: Have you any just noticed it? Deep down you must agree with the second part of the tread title?

Wishful thinking BC unless Adamson has an identical twin wearing a black moon boot and he himself wasn't present at freo on Saturday with the rest of the league squad.. Shouldn't we be picking our best players available regardless? If that's the case Ainsworth is in

If that's correct Adamson's a big loss, he's a bit of a beast at the contests, very strong and reads the play well, guys with his strength are much needed against the big bodied Freo boys. Ainsworth is all class but not a big body so maybe in a forward role with an occasional run on the ball. Bloody hell we need our very best 22 on the paddock against this mob.
