Another Grand Final, another year without the hoops in it.So , just sitting at home watching a few the old GF's in the Footy Marathon on Fox.Mmm must be a Carlton supporter at the Fox programing dept. cause its was like a Bluebaggers flashback show. 70 gf v the Pies, 81 V the pies, 82 V the Tig's. Not hard to see why why there not too much sympathy for their current situation, those mongrels have had far too many good days in Sept for my liking.

Anyway watching the 82 GF there was a couple of names that made me start to think. Bortolotto and Landy. Two guys that spent a bit of time down here at the cattery and both found themselves at other clubs playing for Premierships. Did we toss them out, did we get good trades , who knows but I wonder how many others have done this/we have done this too over the years.

Deisel Williams of course started down here and went on to play in a flag against us in 95. Barnesy in 2000 with the dons, come to think of it Denham whn we got JB in the first place. Any others?
