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

"I agree regarding prone to hogging the ball. However, he is only 24 and should continue to develop. He is great in attack and, if he could sort out some defensive issues, he will defintely be a welcome addition."

"I understand Dolphins want to keep him, but Averillo is wanting to move back to Sydney. I am doubtful that Dolphins would step in his way if he continues to push for the move back to Syd."

"Agreed regarding Averillo.
I think Kerr could defintely secure a bench spot here. He has a lot to offer and would spell Paulo very nicely, in the sense he can provide similar output (obviously in a lessened quantity). I think if we are to go into…"

"Yes, I have seen that he was unable to secure a contract, so has teamed up with Isaac Moses in hopes of doing so.
I like Doueihi as a player, especially at 6. I think he would work well with Moses, and is pretty solid in defence and general attack.…"

"A big yes to Jake Averillo. He's a gun, has loads of speed, and can play multiple positions for cover. As long as he comes at a reasonable price, he can battle it out with Simmo for that left center spot.
Josh Kerr always looked like a bit of a…"
