You would have to be one of the loneliest people on the planet. Get a life you tool and stop boring everyone with your crap!

Well said Boris.

Jas, surely you are taking the piss now. Do you know what a Catholic is?? Ramsden has never tasted the Blessed Eucharist in his life and Seccull's forefathers probably killed 100s of Catholics back in the old country.

Where would jesus play?
 
I like Jasons idea here. The dominance of the Catholic clubs cannot be underscored and when you think of the great VAFA players over the years who were Catholics, you could put together an amazing side.
I would say that minimum games played would be 50 and State of Origin games counts, as well as a C,B or A Flag.
Go for it Jase, I would have Mark Brady, Luke Mahoney, Nick Fraser, Gerard Mulchay, John "The Cat" Watkin, Ben Garvey, Marcus Dollman, Matt Lucas, Matt Kempton, Steve O'Connor, Marcus Olive, Chris Bossong, Rob Gross, Ben Dowd and Ryan Chard as my nominations from SKOB in your squad of 100.
 
I hope you guys know Jas won't reply to any of the statements posted above but will instead just pop up with another statement/query about how the VAFA should appoint someone to make sure that the chemicals used for painting the boundary lines are not tested on animals in any way shape or form..
 
The problem is when putting this team together is the fact that the VAFA Annual Reports from 1995-1997(which I have at home), as well as the official VAFA history book 'For the Love of the Game' didn't have full premierships line-ups from these Catholic sides, so I had to rely on those who had played State of Origin for the VAFA who came from Catholic teams such as Old Xavs and St Kevins. It was only from 1998 onwards that premierships line-ups appeared in the VAFA Annual Report.

Jas, Dont you have anything better to do? Like no one really cares about any of these teams.. its just a waste of ur time.. and like surely hamptons interchange stewards bench needs a new coat of paint.. couldnt u be doing that??
 
How come every time I pick a team on the VAFA Board, you guys rip me into it, without knowing how much research I put into various players from 1975, using very limited resources avaliable, yet I put up the All Australian side on the AFL Board based on players from the VFL/AFL, SANFL, WAFL, State of Origin, and it has been well received?

Jase, generally the issue is not the teams, though many have differences of opinion- these are to be expected. The teams you have picked are decent efforts, if a bit biased by your age- ge the past ten years.

The issue is that you are constantly creating threads, and conversation points that are inane, and jascentric. That is where people object. If you are to start threads, and i think you need to rest a little here, try to think of one that peopel are going to be generally interested in and dont put your name in the thread title. They you may find yourself better received.
 
Jas, if you do so much research then you would know that Bruno Conti has never played CHF in his life. Yet you have him there in both of your teams. He was named HBF in the NOBs team of century, played about 90% of his games there and if he ever played up forward it would have been as a pinch hitter.

Surely Frank Gleeson and Dominic Spillane from Old Paradians must make the team. Frank Gleeson won an A Grade Best and Fairest in the competition. I can't see how you could leave him out.
 
There will be mind-blowing hysteria among some of the Scotch supporters when they learn that theirs is a Catholic school. Huh, I always suspected that their incendiary anti-Rome sectarianism was all about self-loathing!
 
Jas,

Mark Seccull would love to play against this side so he could try to add to the tally of catholic deaths that his forefathers are responsible for.

Old Hail - Uniting Church (Seccull)
Old Trinity - Anglican (Ramsden)
Old Scotch - Presbyterian (Fuller)

How about a VAFA Protestant team to take them on? I expect this by Tuesday lunchtime since you obviously have little else to do in your life.
 
B: John the Baptist, The Burning Bush, Lazarus

HB: Cane, Sampson, Abel

C: Matthew, Mark, Luke (apologies to John)

HF: The **** who Crowed 3 Times, Daniel (of lion's den fame), Judas

F: Jesus (one out in the fifty)

Rucks: Father, Son
Rover: Holy Spirit

Coach: Sheedy (God was stiff)
