    Lawrence Bickerton (1994 premiership player) passes away.

    Re: Lawrence Bickerton (1944 premiership player) passes away. I interviewed Laurie in 2004 on the Sunshine Coast for Maroon & Blue. Without a doubt, it's one of my most treasured memories of doing the book. Laurie had a fabulous sense of humour, a real wit, and he was also very warm...

    Things That Remind Me Of Fitzroy

    Great thread FP. Funny, when I heard about Ronny Biggs tonight, the first thing that popped into my head was about his son playing Under 19s for the Roys. Ha! Even here in Canberra I get regular little Royboy triggers. * There's a Fitzroy Street next to Manuka Oval so every time...

    North Melbourne Kangaroos eye return to Canberra

    As I wrote elsewhere on the North board.... I'm a Canberra resident and like so many footy followers here, we lost a great deal of respect for North when they left this place (and about $500,000 per year from the ACT taxpayer) for the supposed sunny climes of the Gold Coast. Yep, just like...

    Tasmania or Canberra

    I'm a Canberra resident and like so many footy followers here, we lost a lot of respect for North when they left this place (and about $300,000 per year from the ACT taxpayer) for the sunny climes of the Gold Coast. Good bye to six years and over a thousand local members. I scratch my...
