melbourne football club the team i played for
Submitted by petermac on Mon, 2013-09-02 20:19
it brings tears to my eyes knowing they would have been on mad Monday today , the whole team underachieved , every single one of the players need a good look at them self's getting big bucks and not producing , didn't help the coach for most of the season wouldn't inspire me to run thru a wet tissue . Next week they will go on the end of season trip to Phuket and have a good time if it was up to me training would have started yesterday ( sorry all you Melbourne supporters out there but that is how I have saw the season) big Jim must be watching down and cursing RIP Jim

My old man likes to tell me
My old man likes to tell me the story of how he was just about to go and try out for the Dees but was saved by been called up for Vietnam. No fun anymore ribbing him about how bad the Dees are anymore, him been a life long fan and all that. If Roosy gets the gig, it's going to be a long and brutal climb back.

Don't the bad times make us stronger?
As a Tiger supporter since 1972 I can attest to the saying "what doesn't kill us makes us stronger". Wife is a Demonds supporter, and I do understand how the supporters feel. The Melbourne football club will get stronger and success will follow. Stay steong through the bad, remember the good times and love your club.

jacko
he is a character (jacko) that legendry story about him taking on and getting a hiding from Maurice Rioli in the boxing ring is a true story I was playing colts for souths at the time and saw it happen, Mal Brown was the coach at the time and called every 1 into the ring area to watch it

Jacko
Was at Freo oval for the practice match between Souths and Carlton when Jacko pulled Bruce Doull's head band off before the starting whistle. Doull took to him, Jacko got a free and kicked a goal.
Was a magic moment to watch, nearly pissed myself laughing.
