    Nah. Much and all as I would love to sink *them, I could never ever put my name alongside that drug cheating *club.

    Autopsy Autopsy v Crows

    We just need to put those efforts together in the one game

    Okay, we are clearly on track to fail to win a game this year. The last team to fail to win a game in a season was Fitzroy in 1964. Hence the title of this thread. Say no more. Please feel free anyone and everyone, to nominate a team for me to switch my allegiances to. Maybe I can stitch...

    Its a while since I was last there, but the Cornish Pasties at Ross were worth the trip alone.

    Oppo Camp The Kerridge Award 2024 - back in action!

    Its go to be Elliot Himmelberg. Will kick a bag and play like his brother. Another example of uncaring parents giving one of their sons two family names.

    I'm not so sure he will retire. The rest of this year and next year will get him there.

    The BBB Thread

    No this is not about Big Benny Brown as most of you probably thought. I will say this though, I think he might be very close to the end of his career, but that's another story. Instead this is The BRING BACK BOOMER thread. Ridiculous I hear you all say and yes he is probably finished as a...

    Player Watch #9: Luke Davies-Uniacke [Part II] - [Herald Sun] LDU has parked contract talks with the club & is expected to command offers of more than $1m a season

    The great man in action. As usual, wrecked by the umpires. That decision against Michael Nettlefold. Superboot nearly did it on his own. One of the great quarters of football.

    Player Watch #9: Luke Davies-Uniacke [Part II] - [Herald Sun] LDU has parked contract talks with the club & is expected to command offers of more than $1m a season

    No that's not true. It was the constant speculation about the future of the club and whether or not they would be paid. They certainly had to wait to get paid, however were pretty patient as I recall. As far as I am aware, they all eventually got paid, unlike St. Kilda in the 1980's, where...

    Well clearly you were not around in 1964, when Fitzroy failed to win a solitary game. I was and it was just "absolutely splendid". But we made it to 1996 and methinks you musn't have been here then either, because that was a terrible side to witness playing. To make it worse playing out at...

    Player Watch #9: Luke Davies-Uniacke [Part II] - [Herald Sun] LDU has parked contract talks with the club & is expected to command offers of more than $1m a season

    I don't think we should compare our situation today with "our" situation at Fitzroy in the early 1990's when so many players left. The circumstances were significantly different, with a lack of money, the constant speculation about extinction, merger, relocation and the over-riding one, being...

    Excellent post. Yes, it is up to the blokes who have the talent to lead the way, and what better reward would it be for LDU if he actually led the way, because then he could say, "I did it, I led these emerging young players on a journey with great reward". He and others like him, if they are...
