Unofficial Preview Changes and Early Discussion Vs Saints

[Son of Superboot]

Last year we had one because we actually played on ANZAC DAY not sure we need a new one

In years gone by the club has had a close association with the 7th Brigade at Gallipoli Barracks in Enoggera. This appears to have tapered off, which is a shame. Special jumpers and the players being driven around in armoured vehicles in the media leading up to the game. It is an away game, but it is in Melb and Fitzroy does have some strong WW1 and WW2 links. Wilfred 'Chicken' Smallhorn, 1933 Brownlow medalist, served and was a POW in WW2, and won the Changi Brownlow

I can even recall one year where the match balls were delivered by an Army helicopter (Kiowa - battle budgie) landing in the center square. That would of really upset the curators (can't damage the pitch )

Glad we are ending this collab and keeping politics out of sport

Preview - Round 7, 2025 - St.Kilda vs Brisbane Lions

Like every year I don't really have an excuse about why this is so late. I even had multiple non-working days since we played Collingwood to write this up. And I'm even later than usual! And to cement that laziness, I'm re-using a GIF I made for my 2022 preview! I blame Simon Goodwin really...
