    [QUOTE=Cheer Squad;503584 The last time we beat them down there was Round 15, 1987, at Waverley Oval. Can you believe it's been that long since we've lowered their colours in Victoria??? Does anyone actually remember that game???[/QUOTE]

    That figure is slightly fudged considering that we have not played the Dogs (outside of finals) in Melbourne for about 10 years while they sold home games to the SCG and the AFL scheduling their home game in Canberra against us.

    Don't remember that game as it was the year I was born but I do remember Paul Hudson kicking a goal in the last minute at Waverley in about '98 to steal victory. We haven't played them a lot down here in recent times but it's still a very ordinary record.

    Mountie has been improving EVERY WEEK. I love seeing LRT ruck. How long's it been?
    I was wrong about Gerard and his hair.

    mummy & mcglynn are two big losses, but the swans have too much to play for. This game looms as a danger game, but we should win by a couple of goals, given the fact we have such a good record at the gabba. ROK & Jarred moore are huge in's too. I wouldn't be surprise if goodesy kick a big bag this weekend hahaha
    Dan Hannebery you absolute beauuuuutiie ~

    Unfortunately no LRT for the rest of the season. Not good for September.

    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    No, I know it doesnt count as the real stuff BUT we did beat them in a 1995 fosters cup or ansett cup game or whatever it was called back then out at waverley. I remember cause it was one of pluggers very first game, if not the first game for the club I think and he bagged about 8 goals.

    There is Reid to debut or Pykey played through the CHB position and Currie to co-ruck. Barlow is 2 weeks from recovery. Still a few options.

    Caught the end of the Lions and Dons game. They had a chat with Brown after the final siren.

    Bloke then waddled off. Seriously, looked like he had a sick up his ass.

    Will be surprised if he plays.
