Yes.
Who isn't a fan of the thinking man's orange Tim Fleming?

Gerks 27/6/11

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

Chapman was always going to Essendon.  Clubs already knew this.
He wanted to be paired up with his former coach Bomber again.

Did WP really edit out the bit where you said they went and drank coke after a game?
Yeah. Not sure what WP has against Coke... ;D

Plenty  >:(
Ok. Obviously you are a Pepsi man! :lol

 Goddard would've been handy, Dal Santo would've been nice, could've been top 4  :banghead
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Hernaman, Banik, Anderson

Tambling, JON, Meyer
Polo, Lounder, Herman
Pettifer, Steinford, Ryan

ODwyer,

We could have had it all, For my mind I wonder where the club would be if we had kept Maxfield, drafted Pavlich instead of Fiora and just have those 2 instances how the threads of time would have changed

If we could jump into the delorean and just make those 2 changes it would be an interesting exercise BUT unfortunately we have what we have and me writing here in a pointless thread and feeling mean spirited because Carlton got thrashed and I enjoyed every minute of it.
