1954

[RememberMe]

On September 14th, 1954, the USSR tested a nuclear weapon.


...


11 days later, on September 25th, the Footscray Football Club won their first and only premiership.

Just out of interest, also in 1954, stop signs were changed from black on yellow to white on red. 1954 sure was an eventful year.

I can't even imagine how much it must suck to be enduring a 53 year premiership drought. I'd pity them, but Akermanis plays for them, so I wont.

a kid born in 54 would have been nine when the cats last won a flag. that kid would now 53. he has aged a bit hasn't he.

We found it hard adapting to the stop signs after '54. You should pray they never go back to yellow and black...your mob won't get near us.

By the way, I believe that it was only in 1954 that they introduced stop signs to your regional outpost at Geelong.

Geelong fan, bagging a dogs fans for a premiership drought.

next to reply a melbourne fan.

Calm down mate. It's ok. You'll win one eventually.

You would think a 44 year drought would give you a good indication.

To put it in perspective JFK was still alive the last time the Cats won a flag.

Geelong - a town full of "hill-billies", go get the banjo out champ!

Only team (apart from Freo) that we can give a hard time.

 

[dA Crow]

All they need is to get some AFL handouts and concessions like Sydney have, and anyone could win a premiership.

How long have they been saying that about Geelong?

Haha Geelong a bunch of pretty boys, that's a good one. Got to be one of the ugliest bunch of guys running round I would have though (no offence guys)

Poor ol' Doggies Cats and Demons can't round up the talent of an entire state like Crows though!

Shheesh needed lots of luck even then.!

Haha, funny stuff. Poor old Doggies. Such an empty existence.
