I'd probably go through the list alphabetically, so I'll restricty myself to those two by proxy.<BR/><BR/>One more for Mr. Royal if you can: Tucky for Captain? His dad was Hawthorn's greatest ever captain, so does the son have any of his old man's leadership qualities, or did he inherit the Ablett family's lack thereof? (Shane Tuck is half Tuck and half Ablett blood... what a perfect footballer breed).Perseushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292281862441986618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-36539534167003746252008-09-24T11:28:00.000+10:002008-09-24T11:28:00.000+10:00Beer willing, I will report back on Monday for you...Beer willing, I will report back on Monday for you Perseus.Fad MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14682635778182144243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-74830306184151230862008-09-23T19:51:00.000+10:002008-09-23T19:51:00.000+10:00Geez EMS I thought you were much older than that!I...<I>Geez EMS I thought you were much older than that!</I><BR/><BR/>I choose to take that as a compliment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03085054284790032962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-25501780497878691692008-09-23T10:17:00.000+10:002008-09-23T10:17:00.000+10:00Can you ask Brian Royal from me whether Oakley-Nic...Can you ask Brian Royal from me whether Oakley-Nicholls is ever going to make it or is he just wasting space.
