Bob Marley from the Vipers. Usually un-stoppable, on his day can dazzle his opponents and perform to a super league standard. All he requires is beer and some food and God help the opponent.

Bert played A's at the Downs in 1988...so 23 years.....average player but :wink:

You would have to throw Tissi Simeone and Andon Antonoff into the mix of best opposition players.

Different reasons,geographical location,personal,maybe you have achieved all you can with one club,you want to help another club to become more successful.
For me,after being with a club for 8 seasons, and being continually told that I will only ever be a full back and nothing else,the only way I would learn other positions,was to go to another club.
Now, i have played every position,and experiencing the different philosophies Coaches have,has been interesting and educational.

Maybe Mayor should start a new topic and ask why people hop clubs :?:

I remember being at the game when Inter played NAB for the very first time ( after Hutchins had signed for NAB ). In the clubrooms after the game, I overheard Andy sharing a story with some of his former Inter team mates, about how at training one night, while doing laps,and someones mobile started to ring ( this is just after they introduced the new pocket size phones ) and 4 different players reached into their tracksuits and answered their phones :lol: he thought WTF ?
Some of the players were sales reps for Biancos,were on call 24/7 apparently. :)

Josh Christison is probably the best player I have played against this year (including preseason games against BOSA & Salisbury Inter). Give him half a yard or a moment to look up and he is spraying the ball around with precision and accuracy.
