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!!!
