  1. You know little of what you're talking about. Fitzroy people fought for their club till the end and a few players were moved to Brisbane in a piecemeal response by an AFL run by an ex St Kilda player ( one of the least successful clubs anywhere in any competition ). Fitzroy was punished because unlike South Melbourne they didn't fold like a pack of cards. I met Alan Aylett who was VFL president when Sydney was set up a few years ago and asked why they sent South to Sydney and he said ' you should have seen their books ", and I thought your ex club is North Melbourne for goodness sake. Fitzroy members at the time voted for a merger with North Melbourne and the commission rejected their wishes and packed them off to Queensland thousands of miles away instead. By the way Fitzroy at the time had 8 premierships ( 2 more than Geelong at the time ) so really when you think about it AFL/VFL premierships mean sweet F all.

    Well we went to our first football game in Sydney on Sunday and while we went away without a win and were drenched trying to hail a cab later it was a pretty good experience. And I have to say it was tons better than our game against the other fake AFL side GWS last year in Canberra. At least they didn't berate us over the PA about how good the Swans are during the game. But a beer later in the Lord Dudley and then dinner at the 18 ftrs yacht club in Double Bay finished the day off beautifully.
  3. Please don't hate them they've won 11 less premierships than we have.
  4. What are you running this page now. If you are i'm out of here.
  5. Is Paul Roos on 360 this year ?
  6. St Kilda supporters are renown for having very deep pockets. For a club that's only won one premiership by one point in over a hundred years they do ok really.
  7. I met Gay Pert once in Matt Rendells hotel in North Fitzroy the year after I saw him play international rules in Ireland. Lets just say the collingwood environment of misplaced arrogance and stupidity suits him very well.
  8. We as a family came over to Melbourne when the AFL under Ross Oakley decided to destroy our original club Fitzroy. We felt that Melbourne was the parent club of the city we lived in and didn't want to support another suburban club. It's great to have through our own system of seniority 20 premierships, 8 from the Roys and 12 from the Dees. We think we deserve these because we are and were consistent members of both great clubs.
  9. I saw two tests in Ireland in 1984, one in Cork and the other in Dublin. Australia won that series but the thing that stood out for us was how much the Irish loved the contest. Unlike when it's played here people showed real excitement for the Australians coming from the other side of the world to play tests against them. We had a wonderful time in pubs talking to Irish people about the differences in our respective games and the fact that most of our players were full time athletes and the Irish were all amateurs. We even went to the Australian team hotel in O'Connell street the Royal Dublin hotel and met a lot of famous people from the then VFL like Teddy Whitten who bought us a drink and joined us for a chat. I think we need an international aspect to our game and it's an honour for players to be picked for the sqaud.
  10. I've got worse than that a few years ago I saw Issy Dye at the Albury commercial club. It was like he was trying to torture the crowd of about 20 people.
  11. Leave the Mods out of it, it was always the Sharpies that started the trouble.
  12. He had a Bulldog pedigree when he came to us so I don't mind if he goes back to the kennel. I just hope he has great memories of our club because we're going to have great memories of him. What a professional.
  13. Train next to each other. I wish they'd go back to Abbotsford where they belong.
  14. It's not what he says it's how long they give him to say it. At least with Thomson there was equal give and take between him and Roos.
  15. I sometimes wonder why I bother with 360 it's rapidly turning into a vehicle for Nathan Buckley. Doesn't he ever shut up.
  16. Yoo Hoo we did it ! Stuff Eddie and stuff Collingwood !
  17. Yes and when Jetta took that wonderful mark early in the game they didn't even bother to name him. Thick edge of the wedge having those clowns on all the replays.
  18. I recorded the replay on Sunday morning at 10.30. I couldn't believe it when I got big head Ed and some other collingwood circus clowns doing the replay. I'm going to complain to foxtel, I don't pay all that money to listen to those biased clowns. Also i'm going to ring our club to see if they can influence foxtel and the AFL to stop it happening in the future.
  19. Good point but i'm still [censored] off that a club like Footiscray is way in front of us.
  20. We care, we've been invited into the Geelong social club for that game and he was the only reason we were going.
