Figurines?How about a Retro Look?
Figurines?How about a Retro Look?
Apparently the AFL have released some figurines of leading players for each Club?
Why not go back to the past on these and release some consisting of Club Legends?
Reckon the Clubs might clean up if that were to happen and might make the young ones of today a little more aware of who created their Club’s past History and Success!
In our case,you’d have for starters(and these guys are my favourites) -
John Coleman
Dick Reynolds
Bill Hutchison
Norm McDonald
Gordon Lane
Jack Clarke
Ian Shelton
Ken Fraser
Kevin Sheedy(Coach Figurine)
Simon Madden
Tim Watson
Terry Daniher
Bill Duckworth
Kevin Walsh
Mark Harvey
Gary O’Donnell
Michael Long
James Hird
Joe Misiti
Mark Mercuri
......and so on.

Re: Figurines?How about a Retro Look?
I wouldn’t mind getting some. Are they around $80 a pop?
Re: Figurines?How about a Retro Look?
I honestly don’t know mate.
I was simply more interested in the Retro Aspect,that each Club could sell for the History Buffs!
I loved Longy,but I wouldn’t mind having a Normie McDonald Figerine,as well as Longy’s.

Oh yeah,Coley for Sure!
Don’t think there’d be any for Willie Dick though,even though we loved Wilbur Post over here!

Hahaha, classic!
In line with it, it still ponders much! That buddy of yours needs to come up with it! Could it be a thing about architects? Post??
Re: Figurines?How about a Retro Look?
Well,unless I bump into him at a Christmas Party,I probably won’t see him until late March or early April.

Re: Figurines?How about a Retro Look?
I can only guess that nickname derived from Mr Ed.
Yeah,a pity it didn’t work out and it showed when he played for us in ‘93,compared to his great form in ‘91.
There was more attention paid to the new kid on the block at Lathlain,Winston Abraham.

Re: Figurines?How about a Retro Look?
Well that’s an utter disgrace
Why on earth would they recruit him to the club if they didn’t intend on allowing his needs?
The administration must have been complete bollock jugglers back in the day.....
Re: Figurines?How about a Retro Look?
I meant the fans and supporters Windy.
But yes,the Pres(better known for association with Placid Ark)and some of his cohorts weren’t exactly flash administrators.
More later,...

Just that our Well connected President in Race circles,had a big stake in Placid Ark.He also lead the push internally to have the Club relocated from Lathlain to Canning Vale.The Motion was defeated.
His successor got up to more sneaky ways to try it on,such as getting an awfull lot of postal support out of thin air to get the motion up,after getting the Presidency the same way.
As for Willy,the Club somehow overlooked his 150 games to get him Automatic Life Membership,when for some reason one P.Bosustow got it and hadn’t qualified.That was an arrangement of convenience when that happened, Most supporters believed the Board got him that to shut him up in the local Media.
That worked a treat,I don’t think.

A challenge should be lodged with the board. Disgrace.
