Anytime he opens his mouth the whole industry laps it up like a gospels but his time was 20 years ago. Could not coach a team nowadays in my view as the world moves on. How quickly do we all fall asleep when your grandpa starts a story with “back in my day….”. Please…. Zzzzzzzz
Back to Jeff though - thanks for posting the story. I appreciate what he’s done for the club.
We shouldn’t be ashamed of our achievements. |
Agree 100%. Can’t believe people have taken Matthews’ statement to heart so much.
If we can’t celebrate our Premiership success when it happens, what’s the point of the whole sport and being emotionally invested in it? _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

Great read. Good to hear Jeff's doing well in his health battle.
Good way to bypass the paywall is to read the article through private browsing. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

It is. Everyone knew it, but was afraid to say so as they thought Fly might have some magical anti-hubris potion _________________ Fighting against the objectification of woman. |

... which, alas, most of us will never read because of the paywall. I'm sure that makes heaps of people decide to subscribe
Nice one, Herald Sun |

The Age has a paywall as well, just works different. You want good online content, be prepared to pay for it just like TV streaming services. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |
