I was a big Adkins fan. Very quich and takes players on. He is a real game breaker and real headache to match when playing well. His 2000 was sensational until he ran out of steam. He was out all 2001 and 2002 was not given a go after being unfit early. I haven't seen much of Williams. Hopefully he can be a good player for us but it's hard to see where he fits into the side. Adkins at least had the pace to play a different game than our other midfielders/centre line players. Good luck to Damien in the West. Better luck to Williams in the East.

yes, I was a fan of chipper as well. I like how he's always trying to take on opponents and burn them off with his pace. sometimes he succeeded, sometimes he didn't (remember the bulldogs game? Image)

the one memory of williams that's been etched into my mind was his first year (1999 I think) when he, along with phil matera, absolutely carved up c'wood at colonial stadium; he kicked about 4 goals that day. he seems to like playing against us. from what I've seen, he's quite pacy, of a handy size, and can play on the wing or in the forward line. more importantly, he nearly played a whole season this year and IMO will be a very handy acquisition.

Yes, John Candy is dead. Passed away a few years ago. Maybe if he was alive he would like to sit next to him, or maybe he doesn't know J.C. passed away...or maybe the profile is just old (although it has only just been posted the CFC site). Image

Tell you what, I wish I would stop adding to my brothers tally count.

John Candy, alcohol, cocaine, and a hooker. What a lethal cocktail!

Rule 1. Barrack for Collingwood
Rule 2. See rule 1.
Rule 3. There is no rule 3.

CARN DE PIES!
