I dont want anyone to tell me how many possessions Goddard got because half them when directly into Geelong's hands. Most of the team played like absolute crap.
Melksham was pathetic. Squibbed it several times.
I watched the first quarter at my curry night - a couple of decent dishes and the wine was brilliant (my F******* Cellar supplied the fermented grape juice).
Anywho - I was pleased to see brave Sir Robin not commit on a couple of occasions and the hand-balling to the feet of team mates or to team mates not moving anywhere in particular is still high on the hit parade. But the biggest joy was seeing that from within 50 metres we couldn't hit the side of a barn.
Not since Fitzroy smashed us by 100 points at Windy Hill in 1979 have I been so happy to be vindicated by out ineptitude. Something has got to give!
Back then Barry Davis - who was part time and part interested - stated he would not coach beyond 1979 if we didn't make the finals.
The following year we luckily found Sheedy.
He did coach in 1980. And that was it.
