    So it's named after the college it was invented at.

    We used to play it at Kingsville primary. One day all the flour leaked out of the silo at Cain's Bakery in Somerville road and we all looked like ghosts.

    I noticed this on linkedin from Hayden Crozier. Classy

    My 12 year journey comes to a close. So many amazing friendships and memories that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. I’m incredibly grateful that the Fremantle Dockers Football Club gave me the opportunity to fulfill a childhood dream back in 2011, and then the Western Bulldogs for providing me a chance to come home and play in front of family and friends. Two amazing football clubs that are made up of some of the best people you’ll meet. As one chapter closes, another one opens and I’m excited for what the future may hold.
