Hill is up there with the best two way runners in the comp and Zak can run all day and has serious wheels. The two of them on a wing each on the Marvel deck would be scary. It looks to me that Ratts knows we need to be a super quick team as it suits our home ground. Looks like our midfield will finally has some wheels!!

Re: Jones
I tell my kids how much better music was in 60's/70's/80's.
But this record reminds me it wasn't all good.
Not sure if this was the original, but the one I remember is the Ray Stevens one (though almost identical).
Trouble is for such a crappy song it does get into your head.
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

Re: Jones
Yeah I wasn't sure which one was the original but the Ray Stevens one had a lot longer build up before Jones came along so I thought I'd link this one.Enrico_Misso wrote: ↑Fri 18 Oct 2019 12:35am I tell my kids how much better music was in 60's/70's/80's.

Re: Jones
Clint has now finally retired too after winning his clubs best player medal. Kept on giving over a long time.
Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

Nah, he is hopeless. The ball goes straight through his hands.
The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

But then Geelong knew they only had to pay St Kilda for one year of his future service.
He would come as a free agent if he had remained at St KiIda for one more year.
