So these are the new AFL Hall of fame inductees. I considered trusting the AFL not to **** it up for once and thankfully my better instincts told me not to because sure enough they've done it again. Gill must have his fingerprints on this one because lately everything he's touched has turned to shit.
Right, let's go through them.
Neitz: Worthy of admission purely on the rarity of being a great player who also for played Melbourne this century.
CHECK
Scarlett: Toe poke that prevented a St.Kilda Premiership, hard to argue with that.
CHECK
Wallace: Endless lolz for selecting Tambling & selfless dedication to the tanning bed industry.
CHECK
Johnston: Greasy & arrogant enough to perfectly embody the Carlton Crew power years.
CHECK
Sheedy: Responsible for the rise of James Hird and thus the eventual destruction of Essendon*'s culture & reputation.
CHECK
Winnen: Who is this no-name imposter??

Right so the AFL did an article on him.
Turns out this crusty old coot played ZERO VFL/AFL games!!
His entire football history is composed of playing a bunch of meaningless games in an irrelevant WA state league nobody who matters cared about. So why on earth is a backwater league nothing-player ushered into football's most hallowed echelon of stars?
If this bloke was any good he would've been playing in the VFL like every
genuine star player in the country. Instead he chose to remain in obscurity, in a state that remained irrelevant for over 100 years until the mining boom. Frankly he sounds like a ******* loser and I've no idea why we Victorians invite such trash into
our Hall of Fame when he was never good enough to compete in this state in the first place.
