Tricky Ricky feels sorry for Dave Furner

As a former player, I agree that some of the high jinks ‘back in the day’ were pretty ordinary. Sticky is a great bloke, but he couldn’t handle his drink back then and certainly made himself unpopular with some of his behaviour when pissed.

Karma came back in spades for poor Stick (often on the same night) because he couldn’t fight for shite and he got sat on his arse more times than I can remember – which made everyone laugh.

So if you’re going to dredge up 20 year old drunken incidents by a bunch of kids, remember that every weekend something terrible happens in town with bashings, glassings, stabbings, etc, which is a lot worse than what we ever got up to.

Carn the Raiders.

Never had the pleasure of meeting RS in town during the 80’s and 90’s. Steve Walters was a common sight at the City Club, so drunk he couldn’t walk.

Give him a break. We were all dickheads back then.

I remember him and his ‘posse’ cruising around the food and wine frolic (maybe 1990?) after everything had closed down but all the drunks were still left. I think there was a fight every 10m or so as he passed by, but not sure if he was involved in any of them. The cops were wandering around in groups of about 10. Ah, the good old days

(in my defence I was not one of the drunks left around, I was working for the organisers)

Yeah, I saw that as well, not to mention his teammate the late Dave Woods roaring drunk and having a slash in full view of everybody while the Frolic was in full swing. And yes it was 1990, a few months after the Raiders won the ’89 GF and they thought they were all hot s***.

To be fair, back in the day, after that 89 GF, they were!

Gee’s I would hate for anyone to hold a grudge 20 years down the track. He was a footy moron then – yes, now I dare say he has changed somewhat, perhaps like bouncers or police have since the late 80’s and early 90’s……

Oh, that’s okay then *rolls eyes*

Hmm, username “Tool” … is that you Ricky? 😛

I am somewhat dazed at the thought of tricky trying to muscle his way into an ANU Economics Ball!

He didn’t care what the event was, he’d got in in his head that some mate of his was in the bar. (this was before mobiles were common)

I had to put up with him and his ‘mates’ as the Ops Manager at the Raiders Leagues Club in Mawson during then ’89, ’90 grand finals. The terms of endearment used above are much to kind. Brad Clyde was the only one you would piss on if on fire. Walters boys probably the worst. IMHO.

Please stay away Ricky.

Daley was pretty ordinary as well…

And who could forget his famous terry towelling tough guy muscle shirt? He thought that he looked cooler than penguin s***.

I think that in future we should call him “Snap-on” Stuart, because he is a special type of tool.

Or Ricky and another Raiders legend standing at a bar taking a piss. So classy.

Have also heard ’round the traps that Wayne Kerr is his best mate.

I remember bumping into him at some night club while I was at the cop college in Barton doing some sort of investigation course back in the early 90s, I guess.

And yes, complete nob.

Stuart was a great player, is a dud coach and a fuck knuckle of the highest order – I hope he does not come back to our fair town.
