Is his background Torres Strait ?

yes

He was bellboy at my former step sisters wedding circa 92.
Groom was from Torres Strait and a deadset champion bloke and too good for my former step sister.

I was at a wedding once in early 90's at my local.
I recall telling this kid he would play for Australia one day.
He was about 7 at the time.
Ask him.

He said what did you look like, i said.. Jennifer Hawkins..... he said....Ok

He said what was he wearing, i said.. nothing.. he said go away

Sam would have been 7 at the wedding. The groom's name was Marza. I didn't see Marza much as I was not a huge fan of my 3 ugly step sisters.
Mum told me a few years ago that Sam was the bell boy. Then again, my 3 ugly former step sisters told plenty pork pies.
As Sam and Marza were both from Torres Strait I tend to believe it was true.
Btw, if I looked like J.Hawkins I would fark myself stupid.

AFL leaves other codes in the dust!

AFL rakes in three times the revenue of the NRL, four times that of the A-League and six times that of rugby union...

Weiry you wouldn't have worked at the college a few years back with a young bloke named Xavier from Victoria . He worked for me for 3 years after leaving Rocky . Top bloke .

Used to tell me story's about a young Dave Taylor practicing his tackling technique on trees in the driveway . Full grown trees and used to hit them so hard the trees would shake .

no i got to the collage after Dave.
but dave did live at the house i had, he would come back home for BBQ's and drown the young guys( u/20s) in the pool, he is one big mother and also a nice bloke but so are all the boys what would come around or lived with us, i would tell the boys at collage stories about the footballers, they loved it not football stuff but funny things like

how they looked
what practical jokes they would get up to
what scared them
how they ate (Dave)

but i never shared very personal things.

Thats because there is nothing else to do in Melbourne, Adelaide, Perf or Brisy.
Has Tasy got a team ? if so, boring there as well.

Actually has Tassy got a team in anything else but cricket? They seem to be going all right with that.

Can never work out why it is called Australian Football when there is no Australian team.

I'll get midly interested once they start playing Internationals

4pm kick off mate

Dazzler - how did your daughter enjoy her first match? A shame those cheating Queenslanders stole the match from us

She loved it, too hot to wear her jumper so she wore her Sea Ealges T-Shirt instead.

Also had her first train ride - big day for a 3 yr old.

Cracker of a game Titans just held on, a couple of things either way & the game goes the other way, Tafua missing the grubber, Lyon kicking the goal & not hitting the post etc. Credit to the Titans they have a massive team across the park and Albert Kelly appears to be going ok at 7. Not convinced on Zillman, solid player but no game breaker - surprised they signed him to a 5 year deal.

It was scorching hot and kick-off and by the end of the game both terms looked fatigued with a lot of cramping.

Good crowd of about 15 - 17 thousand and I reckon there were more Manly jumpers than Titans however crowd was in favour of the home team. A lot of ex-Nth Beaches people on the Coast.

No chance

Hmmmmmmm
