Just watched the 2001, round 4 game against the Mudpies. Good win Tigers.

Some comments from those far gone days.

Buckley....A receiver then, and still is.
Molloy....ordinary player and a bit of a thug, just like Hamill.
Hilton....In those days a more than handy player. Not sure when he sustained that shoulder injury, but that may have contributed to his loss of ability. Does not matter now, anyway.
Knights...What an attribute he was to the club and team. Clever, good thinker and brave.
Kellaway, Andrew....A rock of our defence, and hopefully will continue to be.
Tivendale...Beautiful left foot kick and can kick with right foot when he has to.
Holland....Was nothing but a battler.
Leon Cameron...Always seemed to have plenty of time and had the ball on a string. Lovely passer.

Just a few observations from almost 5 years ago.

On that game. If ever there has been a team that gets soft frees it has to be the Mudpies.
The commentators in Sandy Roberts and Dermatitis were so Collingwood biased it was not funny. They seemed very disappointed when we won. Probably trying to impress you know who...Eddie McEverything.

The years have now rolled on and Saturday sees the start of the season, in a fashion. Yes, I know it is Mickey Mouse stuff, but something is better than nothing. No doubt there will be a lot of PREnders there to cheer the team on, even if some of them will be new to most of us.

Two more sleeps!!!

That would be three more sleeps I think.....

We'll all be too excited to get to sleep on Friday night Balmy. ;)

You've kept pretty busy watching footy over the pre-season Gray. I haven't watched one game and was worried I might have lost my passion but I'm really looking forward to Saturday, especially seeing the new kids run out for the first time.

I don't know why we even have Austar really, rarely have the telly on now the kids have flown the coop. Was going to cancel it but then in footy season I'd be kicking myself if pay telly was the only means of seeing one of our games live.
 
Sorry, but that's the first thing that came to my mind. (this space belongs to a singing emoticon) :hihi

Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me

Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me

Oh, I’m all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That’s a distorted reality

Hapiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories

Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I’m crying
Reflects a hurt I can’t control
’cause although you’re gone
I keep holding on
To the happy times
Oh, when you were mine

As I peer through the window
Of lost time
Looking over my yesterdays
And all the love I gave all in vain
(all the love) all the love
That I’ve waisted
(all the tears) all the tears
That I’ve taisted
All in vain

Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that’s lost
From the hurt
That you have caused

Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be

In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust

After all the nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promisses
Are all that’s left of loving you

Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me

In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust...
 
As someone who lost the love of his life...to the dreaded cancer....that poem strikes a chord GPB.

Did you pen it yourself, or have you quoted from a published work??

Flattery will get you no where Graystar. ;D

It's that famous song back in the 60's.

As it is from the 60's I feel I should know the song. OK, GPB, what was it and who sang it??

Graystar, I feel as though I'm on 'Who wants to a Millionaire'. :hihi

The song is Reflections, sung by magnificent Diana Ross & The Supremes Pizzas.

Everyone wanted to be like Diana back then. :hihi

If you had been on Millionaire, you would have just won $500,000
