I tend to think if the Power boys are reunited it will be in Victoria and not in Qld. I also think that Sam will be the stand out player of the two. He can get rid of the ball better and quicker than anyone I have ever seen.
Bloody hell. What sort of damage would Quinlan have done in 2nd division VFA?

Re the Power boys, their mum isn't too chuffed with one of her boys living interstate. I think if anything Luke will end up back in Melbourne.

He might have even been enough to get us into 1st Division.

We almost made it in 1977 under David Thorpe and then again in 1980 under Denis Pagan, yep that Denis Pagan.

The "ill fitting skivvie" reference goes over my head. Can someone tell me the actual story?

There is none. We cleared Quinlan for a 'six figure sum'. The 'ill fitting skivvie' reference is Stocka's way of saying we gave him up for not much and that Fitzroy got the better end of the deal.


Could I just mention the name Peter Foster at this stage? $30,000 I believe.
