This.

Was the quote of the 1997 season without doubt, Re Mark Pitman not getting a run that 'G when Adelaide lost to Richmond

Good player Mark Pitman. Not as good as DAVID Pittman, who rucked for the Crows. Still gave us a good quote when Blighty labelled him as 'pathetic'.

And the rat's tossbag quote was Blighty teeing off when the St Kilda leadership had a crack at him after he'd quit as coach of the Saints.

Doesn't matter who "invented" the "joke", or who told it to who in the outer.
The reason the quote is so good is, because it was a public comment, by the club president, and Carlton had just beaten Collingwood in the Grand Final (again), by 5 points.

Timing and place is everything

Fair point. Doesn't obviate my observation now does it?

Interesting in theory but given that I heard it way back when I was still at school and used by and about a number of teams it tends to make a bit of a mockery of your childish attempt at wit.

Of course you did.

Of course you did.

Thank you. It's so hard for a troll to concede that they don't know everything. Good to see you're the exception though.
