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 :)

"Well written Poppa. What the club is trying to do makes a lot of logical sense in the long term, and overpaying for players is a great way to sink a club.

"If we want a finals team we desparately need class players at centre, wing, 5/8 and a prop.
If you PAY them, they will come. We can afford stupid money for 2 of the above since most kids we have are on peanuts."

"Just to clarify my points
1. I'm not knocking money ball. It's an important part of building a squad but we can't rely on that alone
4. Not saying he can't play I'm merely trying to explain why I'd rather Herbie. We could do without signing a player…"

"AE, 
I. Money Ball was a different time and profile, we as a club were not going that well financially at the time it was adopted.
2. Austerity in keeping the status quo when spending money has never hurt anyone.
3. The arguments I presented were…"

Defo worth having at least on bench. He's our fastest forward and that counts a lot these days."
