Agreed with C Bizkit, the branding of the club has been excellent.
The locals chose the name "The Wanderers". (I've been told from a few soccer fans that the name was taken from the movie "The Wanderers"). The fans chose the colours. They chose the songs and chants.
It really is there club. Where as the Giants is an AFLmanufactured brand which has no flair and no affinity with the locals.
Take Moomba any day of the week. Gun player. Buckley has cut every player from the Collingwood list that has a personality and brought them success ( ie rat pack, wants swan gone and now Moomba). I believe Buckley has an ego complex to do such a thing. We are a cultured club with a terrible list so bring him on. If you compare Moomba to our back line list how can we not take him
Saw the heading of an article today which I didn't read saying do Melbourne deserve a priority pick? So does the oldest club in the league, in the heart land of Aussie rules deserve to survive? Does GWS and Gold Coast deserve the picks they've had? Does Sydney be afforded the opportunity to sign Buddy up for 1,000,000 years at $1,000,000,000 per year? The games gone to the dogs ie foxtel and I'm glad I'm relaxing in Koh Samui
