Lyons To Menzies - Face To Face

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Plenty of great play from Daniel Gartner in the Cliffy/Beaver highlights as well. We certainly did not lack quality forwards back then.

That was a good watch. I was however slightly disturbed that the pair look like they go to the same hairdresser 🫣

As long as it's Joey Walsh, we're sweet.

Dont forget Nic Kosef, two good knees and he would have been a superstar. An ideal 13 in todays game.

And Daniel Gartner. We’ve had some great backrowers alright - Ben Kennedy, glen stewart, Bruce walker, les Boyd, Phil Lowe, knocker Norton, etc.

Unless I'm wrong, he's also good mates with Zorba.

I guess I'm lucky. Being from and still living in Adelaide, I never had to deal with Hadley's radio show or personality. He's Sydney's problem

As a football commentator though, I tend to agree that he goes alright. Unlike most ex-players who get commentating jobs because of who they are regardless of their mic skills (or lack thereof), at least Hadley comes from a radio calling background and sorta kinda knows what he's doing.

Not bad for an ex-taxi driver

And auctioneer. He should stick to sport and stay out of areas he seems to know little about.

I hope this is on catch up somewhere to watch this
Beaver was one of the best to ever do it

I love Beaver’s suggestion to rename the Lyons-Menzies stand. How long before someone sneaks in to do that 🙄

Was sitting in the corner where he scored that. Was seriously the best night ever.

I was in that corner as well. Finest moment in Australian sporting history..!

Its interesting that type of player. They rely heavily on their knees for the type of play they are so good at. Reilly also broke down because of knees.
