As someone who has been going to the VFA/VFL since the 1987 I have heard many times on the ABC match of the round, that the stats are done by Paul Field.. Was wondering if anyone has actually seen him in real life or is this just a name made up when Phil and the guys are after stats?
Funny you mention that, last week I found an old tape of a VFL game from I think 2001 Carlton v Werribee at Optus Oval and had a look at it and they actually showed a shot of Paul Field doing his stats!!!
Thanks footyman, me and my brother thought Paul Field may have been an alias or just a code for someone to get the stat sheets. ha ha
Fieldy will be amused to know that some may have thought him to be a figment of Cleary's imagination ...lol.
Very much a real person , Paul does most of the pre game legwork for the on screen guys.
Perhaps we should start the campaign here...'get Fieldy on camera' !
Peter Donegan...take note .
Got a mention during the 3rd qtr today.
I heard them mention it today. Was the only thing that made me laugh today. Port were shocking
Just saw/heard Donegan mention it on the replay. Gave me a laugh!
Same! I watched the coverage late last night (trying to find reasons for the loss) :(
Also good to see them raise the topic of Box Hill as a GF venue. Yesterdays weather was the perfect indicator of why it shouldn't be played there.
BTW What do you reckon the crowd was? Would have been lucky to have 500 there... Sure conditions weren't great, but its still disapointing.
* Offtopic, is it worth having a 'questions to the ABC team' forum? So others can see questions raised, and offer their opinion?
