He was quoted by saying, we all had to run one warm-up lap before a game.

Max used to run his lap chewing an apple.

Now, Max Papley, as it turns out, the apple chewer, is Tom Papley, the Swan Stars' grandfather.

Now we get to Toby Green in modern day at halftime last year after Paplia just kicked a goal against Toby's Giants.

Toby intimated that like Grandpa Max, grandson Tom, he doesn't mind eating an apple or two either.

Tom Padley's got a little bit to say in the first half just there.

A little bit of feeling in this one.

He's looking overweight.

Now I'm not going to go with the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

But again, as much as things change, they stay the same.

So back to the record.

The star that was John Rantel broke the record with Fitzroy in round seven in a win versus the Saints.

The match report was pretty low key.

There was no big two-page spread, maybe because the record had been broken not that long prior.

I quote, Brian Burke reported, He could be heard urging his teammates along.

Now, now, surely you reckon the record is getting a bit more sizzle next time around with Tigers champion Kevin Bartlett.

Hold it.

Just hold it for a sec there, Tommy.

Rightio.

Here we go.
