We have a good best 22, able to match it with any team in the league.
Just need to develop a bit more depth and be able to cover our injuries better. Or not have any like the Lions, who pretty much have every listed player available this weekend.
Shiel has always been the same. Good player but he butchers it. I just think people didn't watch as much of GWS.

Ah yes Des Tuddenham was coach that year (1978) when we traded Terry & Neil to the Bombers. He took over from Ian Stewart who just coached us to the finals the year before (1977) and then returned after Tuddy was sacked to be our final senior coach at the Lakeside Oval. They were weird times as Stewart coached Carlton in between only to resign after a few games because of ill health. Jezza then took over as Capt/Coach and Carlton went on to win the flag in 1979. All sorts of rumours was floating around at the time as to what was happening in the background to all this. No one at South ever put their hand up to being responsible for the Danihers/Fields trade, but suspect Tuddy had a lot to do with it being the former Capt/Coach of Essendon after leaving the Pies.
I met Neville Fields in the late 80's who was playing cricket for Essendon in the VJCA (along with Denis Pagan) and sharing a beer after a day's play some of our guys cheekily raised his trade with the Danihers. Fields said his best football years was with South, which does gets overlooked as i do recall him playing many fine games for us. He was a beautiful left foot kick who could kick long goals on the run, just like Mark Browning (both played together).

Jetta ain't lazy, he's one of the most composed AFL player I've seen in years. You've mistaken his composure for laziness. A lot of great athletes possesses this inner calm demeaner about them....think Roger Federer, it looks like the game slows down for him. It's a quality needed to get in the zone.
Watching Darcy Moore last night I couldn't help but feel he would look much better in red and white
