Naitanui?

Jeffy Garlett or Yarran ?

[GWW]

I'm not sure van Berlo would make the WA side.

[whufc]

No room for Patty Ryder either, i would definatly have him either in the forward line or on the bench in the WA side.

Very good side though!

[GWW]

This game is worth a look.

Some random points

- Robbie Flower would have to be one of the most skillful wingmen ever.

- Anyone know who the Dunstan is who played for Victoria?

- Interesting to see Kevin McSporran and Trevor Hill playing quite well. Would be interesting to know if they ever had any approaches to play in the VFL.

[Media Park]

I'm not sure van Berlo would make the Crows side.

edited for accuracy.

This game is worth a look.

I was wondering why the crowd was so poor and it turns out it was played on a monday as the final of the carnival that year.

Mate i reckon you have done a pretty good job. I agree with no Ryder or Naitinui. Wouldnt need them with Cox and Sandilands. The one person i would have would be Campbell Brown (he is a perth boy isnt he?) and gartlett would get a gig ahead of Matera. Good side though indeed

A Swallow unlucky to miss if his brother D Swallow can make it

[Bum Crack]

Nathan Van Berlo?? You have got to be kidding. One of the worst players in the AFL.

[Psyber]

... - Anyone know who the Dunstan is who played for Victoria?...

I couldn't recognise him from the video, but Graeme Dunstan played for Collingwood from 1972 to 1974 and with Norwood from 1975 to 1981.
I don't know whether he was ever chosen for state of origin matches.

[GWW]

They're showing 1995 SOO game on Fox Footy at the moment.

I can remember the result of most of the games between SA and Vic (eg 89, 92, 93, 94) but for some reason I can't really remember this game much, or the result.

I have a vague memory, they may have won by about 7 or 8 goals..

[85 WAS A GOOD YEAR]

Commonly referred to as the "Ted Whitten Game" I reckon I'll only cope with watching the first qtr. One I really want to forget

[GWW]

Yeah I recall the bit at the start featuring Ted in the car. Just don't really remember much of the game.

Lucky you have initials and ordered your bench the way you did.
