AHH THE GOOD OLD DAYS

Well here we are its grand final day and it marks the end of another season and I thought I would just reflect o n seasons gone by 

I miss the old times of when you would have the old backyard Barbie with the family and selected mates and get half cut before the 3 o'clock kickoff 

When beer was full flavoured and full of hops .not the chemical made crap of today .AHH give me the old KB or DA any day 

When all this climate change talk was not an issue and people did not push their beliefs down  each other's throats one way or the other

When the warm and fuzzy brigade did not get their knickers in a Knott when some of us have said we dont go for female commentators or female Refs and touch judges .AHH bring Back Frank Hyde Rexy Ferris Ashton Alan Clackson .Hollywood Hartley .that tall cheating bastard from up north that used to referee the state of origin the grasshopper Gomersal .Ahh  the good old day's. But in saying all that I'll still watch the game tonight .just hope that its a good game .WHO to win dont really care as i dont go much on either team .just good luck to both teams and may the best team wins on its own merits and with out to much controversy and finally i just wish everbody and their family's a safe and happy grand final Day .but i still miss the good old days

    • I miss cheap Resch's schooners at the pub and I miss Israel Folau religious posts on One Eyed Eel........NOT.

    • Well that’s a pretty fair assessment their twin they were good times hey

  • Those were the days Wongy - back when there were at least half a dozen hot dog vendors outside the ground flogging doggies from those stainless steel contraptions - 50 cents extra for cheese.

    Check out this photo of a packed out Parra Stadium.Eels v Roosters 1987. I'm the tall bloke in the '86 style Parra Jersey with number 3 on the back (crow). Check my sweet mullet :) .  I was 18 - the fella to my left is my best mate, we've been going to the footy together (with others) for over 30 years. We graduated from The Hill to the Thornett Stand in 1989.

    Have a great grand final day mate - cheers :)

    • Spot on Kram and the same to you bud

  • I miss the days where I could blow so hard that I would cripple women.

    • Happy days cousin Fong now that is going back

  • What's Blow mean ?

    • From memory Seth I think it means when you purse your lips and exhale

      • The whole scene just to put it in context.

         

  • I miss when women were seen and not heard.

"For once this is a pretty accurate article for a journo, if we can't beat a second  string Dolphins team handsomely they should all stay in bloody Darwin. No excuses."

"Here's a tip for those who can't make the game when Parra are favourites to win...
Have a bet roughly what you would pay to go to the game and get a few beers and soft drinks for the kids ($50-$100). Back the opposition at the plus (in this case…"

"Centre to me is his best position, with how he runs and passes. But the club have liked him for a long, long time. They will not let him go. Out of his 3 games, he has been great in one, average in one and not good in one. The one where he was…"

"Well said HKF, 100% agree with you. He needs as much game time at Fullback as possible. Telling you now, once Lomax is here do you think BA would put Talagi at 1 or Lomax at 1 if Gutho was out?"

LB replied to Mr 'BringBackFitzy' Analyst's discussion Gutherson Blaizes a trail for Talagi
"They are playing him now for two reasons.
1) They see a chance to get him on the bench with our 17th player usually getting limited minutes anyway and need back coverage.
2) In the middle of negotiations, it is a nice bit of leverage from us to say…"

"Honestly, i think his best spot and said this before he debuted is Centre. I think if he can build himself up by another 5kgs, he could be a really good Centre in this league."

"Trai Fuller is the dangerman, once the forwards fatigue,  he'll run riot. He needs to be watched very closely.  Very small but lightning quick off the mark. 
Have always liked Averrilo also. If he gets on the outside we won't catch him.

"I can see your reservations, honestly do not know until we see the game unfold. But you could say the same if we lose any of our back 5 to a HIA, would be worse having say Tuilagi at Centre for majority of the game. "
