I miss Kingsley. Kent Kingsley on Caro Wilson in 2007 - "the day I start listening to a frustrated 60 year old who knows nothing about the game is the day I should retire"

From memory the only two candidates left at that time were Spud and Tony Elshaug. We paid dearly for our reputation of sacking coaches back then.

Thompson has always hated us for some reason. In his victory speech at Waverley after the Fosters Cup Grand Final back in 1993, I remember him saying something like 'there always has to winner and a loser and tonight Richmond were the losers.'

I think now that Coach has revealed this I can say that Kent Kingsley confirmed it to me twice in person at a Club 80 function but I was sworn to secrecy.

I long for the day Bomber gets punted from the Bombers and applies for a job with us.
We can feed him his own BS line
