i wouldn't have thought it was particularly bay worthy. maybe not main board but i'd be interested to know why you think it is for the bay. its not a troll, hasn't attracted trolls. curious.

Negative opinions of clubs are allowed on the main board. So is banter - to some extent.

None of the posts in this thread have been reported. Report those you think cross the line.

Oh ok

Negative opinions?

West coast dockers sounds good

Or maybe the Fremantle eagles

Or perhaps we'll release a group of eagles at the g, will be more interesting to watch

Or perhaps it should be the

FREMANTLE DOCKING
eagles

You mean the post that has remained for more than a day, has not been reported by anyone, and is clearly intended as a joke?

Yeah sure.....a joke

Coming from known melbourne haters

An excuse me for being a bit sensitive about our shitedness at the moment

The tanking cup ?

Hilarious.

Cups between teams have always fizzled out. Who remembers the community cup played between the Bulldogs and the Lions or the Albert Park Lake Cup between the saints and the swans?

Always happy to have more celebration of the past, and it's especially important to give a new club and people in its region a firmer foothold in the history of the game. Great idea, not just for this week, but in promoting GWS, to talk about the locals who helped invent the game. (An aside - is Picton really counted as GWS territory? It's very "greater", isn't it.)

If they count Manly, Canberra and Prague I'm sure they can lay claim to Picton too.

Just another game, why do we need cups/trophies for home and away games?

To be fair, you can't count the Lake Premiership in the same category as the others. It was a very big deal in the '30s, they even had an actual premiership flag made up!

I know, the Lake cup was a poor example - it was just one of the very few I could remember the name of. I have really vague recollections of seeing an article maybe in the early 90's where Warwick Capper's dad found the flag within the old stand.

Its really not about any cup or whatever.....Promoting it as the Wills/Harrison Match makes the match an obvious vehicle for publicizing the fact that NSW has an incredibly significant link to the game. In Sydney (and a lot of other places around Australia), AFL is often simply viewed primarily as the Victorian game....which is counter productive to the aims of expansion. Anything that gives NSW or Qld a significant connection to the game helps grow it.

Gws already have the white ribbon cup. Just need to add the prime ministers cup.(if it's still valid given Gillard ain't PM no more.) who does Abbott support?

Apparently he supports us

Picton is an histrorical town in Wollondilly Shire .....one of 14 Shires in Greater Western Sydney. Interestingly HC "Antill" Harrison was born in Picton in 1836 at a country mansion 1836 now known as The Antill Golf and Country Club. Some of the original buildings are still standing from that time.

No need to market it. Wills and Harrison have absolutely nothing to do with GWS the football club, but both are legends of the MFC.
