Thats the amount of premierships we've both been involved with in the past 10 years. :( :(

Knights got one with Geelong in the VFL today.

A Premiership and a million odd bucks to celebrate it with. Oh well, good on him.

Yeah the Cats player factory is a damn good one, stacks of decent young kids coming through. It helps that they have a very solid group of VFL players too like Selwood, Gleeson and co to help out as well. Let's just hope we start to see similar things once our own VFL team is up and running

Couldn't give less of a shit. No one else wanted him as coach either, thus proving he's shit at AFL level. Remember, Laycock, McAlister, Bolts - were all spectacular VFL level players. And no good at AFL level.

Chook got best on in the TSL Grand Final yesterday didn't he?

Played quite well in front of a very interested Kevin Sheedy.

I thought D Mac was rated in the VFL? Now you've got me wondering if I was thinking of someone else.

Well, I saw him play about a dozen games in the VFL and he barely touched the ball in any of them. I don't remember him being listed among the best players in the newspapers often, if ever, either.

Same. But he may have been mysteriously listed in the best like Quinn did every week.

Haha I was about to say that Quinn was probably getting all the mentions even back then
