So you're unhappy about McRae's "had just come out" (which should be "had come out in the previous decade")? The real claim is that he's named after Marty (or George) McFly. It's only a problem if the first movie had yet to come out. And even then only if Choco had run out of plutonium or lightning.David wrote:Fact check: McRae started playing for Glenelg in 1993, and the last movie in the Back to the Future series came out in 1990, three whole years earlier. The Washington Post gives this claim three pinocchios.K wrote:'He gave himself a bad under-cut haircut and turned up to the Glenelg footy club where he was being coached by Mark Williams.
“I walked into the club and the Back to the Future movie had just come out and Marty McFly was in it so I got ‘McFly’ for about two years and then I got to Brisbane and they just dropped the Mac. It’s funny listening to people say my name in the news, I thought ‘who’s that?’ I just haven’t been called Craig for so many years.”'

Ha ha, but you need to remember it was South Australia, the movie was most likely just being promoted. They are a bit behind over there.
Cheers big ears

I bet our new astute Coach was watching the Dees last night, taking notes, jotting down ideas. Hes THAT sort of Coach, a real thinker, you try to be a great team by watching a great team, and learning new ideas, new theories. Hes that type of Coach, for sure.

I wasn’t thinking they’d actually play, just looking at “best” I’ve seen. But realistically Carman was only 187-188cm, McKenna only 190-191cm so all in all by today’s standards not too bad.RudeBoy wrote:I think it's way too tall as it is.

So with Tapping signing with Essendon, that leaves our coaching team still two (?) members short.
Given the delay in decision, it makes we wonder if we had targeted one of the assistants from the Dees or Dogs.
The interest in Chocco interest has been well covered. Are there any others out of contract?
