Sautner - Our Baton Hero!

Herald Sun, Tuesday 14th March, p.49, one Nicholas Alexander Sautner, carrying the Queens Baton on it's way to the MCG. He was no.014 carrier on Monday. He does look trim, as was pointed out in Inside Footy a few weeks ago. How'd he get a Baton gig, anyway? 'Cause he works down at the Dome? Oh well, pointless, but more interesting than the actual Games.

:D billythekid, great group of past footballers ,like yourself I saw all of them and they were champions but I notice none of them are playing today.You possibly left out a couple of others Ron Todd ,Bruce Harper but there are many more. Nick Sautner and Podsy are the 2 best forwards playing at this time. :wink: go zebs. zebra

Quote:Zebra, Point taken! I was a bit over the top. Must be withdrawal symptons from no footy for six months! I'll amend that to hoping he doesn't get a kick!

:D lum, touchee, we all get a little excited at this time of year. Only when as old as myself do you simmer down a wee bit. lets hope for a good game to start season 2006. go zebs. zebra :wink:

Sorry Zebra, I can't plead ignorance of youth- I well remember watching Sandy beating my old mob, (Camberwell), in the 1946 grand final! :cry:

funny how some of the Borough boys can't take it being dished out....they did it for years and now the boots on the other foot they can't handle it.... I would have thought the last 23 years would have taught Port a bit of humility! And wasn't Fred Cook lucky there was only one umpire in his heyday... He'd pip Harrison Ford for an Oscar the way he acted!

:D lum, yes that grand final was a true ripper apparently Sandy got home in their usual last 1/4 to win first flag. Both sides deserved a win but only one can on the day. I was only very young and heard many tales of that victory for years. 36000 watched Sandy and Wells that day at the junction oval and wouldn't we all love something crowds simular again. so mote it be. go zebs zebra :wink:

Hehe I know you Sandy guys love the dude, I'd expect no less. That said what's footy without a villain or someone who shats you off. Russell 'fistpumping when 11 goals up' Robertson is another pain. I don't expect you guys to like Steve Lawrence :P Oh and I like my NRL and soccer too! Go the Storm, the Victory and South Melbourne Hellas :D Add the Swans n Port Melb this year and I'm gonna have so many clashes. :(

:D will be interesting to see how many kangaroo supporters turn up that all of a sudden were one eyed port followers last year. any still around and maybe journey to Sandy next week? as for steve lawrence what he did to his team mates bag wasn't very sporting nor funny and made that player leave the club. cannot be good for club moral or is that the norm down there? go zebs zebra :wink:
