Jets 2023

[DJDL]

OK Frenzy, didn't know you changed your name. Mitch is a club legend, fmd must have been the drugs in the 90's eh?

I knew that would be a controversial opinion in here.
Like the rest of us, I loved him when he first came through.

But I ended tired of seeing him fail to capitalise on the platform laid by the pack, unable to unleash the most potent backline we’d had and endlessly launching bombs into the mangroves.

I preferred to watch the game from the hill

Healey was the stand out a bit Harry Grant like bulk up some off season, top 30 next season

Upper ET for me.
Birds-eye vie of Healey butchering opportunity after opportunity.
Luckily for him, he was partnered with Paul Green and, later on, Jason Ferris. Both of who made up for his inadequacies.

And don’t get me started on Dykes…

 

[Mr Angry]

When Wally Lewis won 5/8 of the year in the Broncos first year, he mentioned how he heard of all the great players, Daley etc, but found Mitch Healey his hardest opponent. Just kept cutting his legs out.

I call shenanigans on that.
The Broncos first year was 1988, when Wally won five-eighth of the year.

Healey came in to grade in 1989.

Be that as it may, I wasn’t questioning his defensive capabilities.

Wasn't that Michael Speechley? From memory said more about how Speechley was known for defence but was also very good in attack

Pretty sure he said it, but about Speechley

Speechley cut Lewis apart in the 1989 playoff for the finals

Stand corrected, you are right

Speechleys grasscutters

Wonder how he is going with CTE. Seemed near every week he came off with the jelly boots on and every game returned to the field.

Speech could throw some amazing passes, he was not that quick though.

 

[Peach & Apricot]

What?? He was never bog average. You're the myth with comments like that.

Then why was he often coming off the bench in 1999/2000 unable to dislodge Blayne Stanley of all people from the halfback slot?

I'd think he's gone ahead of Berrell in the pecking order now. Berrell is in the top 30 this year but off-contact at the end of the year.

The Dirty Reds are aligned with the Roosters these days. Has he been playing a bit for De La in the Mojo Homes Cup

 

[Peach & Apricot]

Where's Billy Magoulias?
