    If Brad Sewell was anymore wooden he'd catch fire.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    I think you'll find Richmond would disagree with that sentiment.

    A trivia question about a club that used to exist in the main competition.

    Technically University are still part of the competition. Like a lot of clubs they disbanded for the duration of the First World War but after the war instead of starting up again they amalgamated with Melbourne. Well one faction of the club did and I think some of the others formed either Uni Blues or Uni Blacks as competition for whichever of the two existed before the other.

    Melbourne should have a UFC on the back of their jumper like us and the Lions and Swans recognise our previous incarnations/partners. If you want to take it to nth degree we should have a PI for Prince Imperials as well. Collingwood should have a B for Brittania, Sydney a EH for Emarald Hill, St Klida a P for Prahran and so on.
