Brothers. Brothers. Brothers.

The Townsville Coppers know mine better than me. Absolute waste of space.

Probably more.
I know we are talking brothers but I imagine sons and grandsons would probably want to play at the club they played for ..
we had a big family that started with Dolly Aked and all through the Edwards family to the last in Butch , sadly Jake never got to the club but was very close.

Jack, Alan and Bob Collins, also further back to Tom and George Tribe, the latter playing Test Cricket for Australia and a Wisden champion for many years playing County Cricket in England. John and Robert Schultz, Bill and Frank Scanlan, also Graeme and Barry Ion.

I take back what I said. You can be my brother.

I think it is great when brothers in AFL anyhow, play together. Makes the supporters feel good.

The Mcphersons reminded me of the Hanson brothers in Slapshot

Lots of examples of brothers playing together happily just at our club.
Mac Pherson ,Wheeler, Oconner, Atkins, Grant, Reid.
I think if you come from interstate or country it’s good as you have some family with you.
I know the club wanted Steve Macpherson a year early and only let him come because big brother was there to help.
Admittedly he was only 16.
Gary and Nathan Ablett, I get the feeling Nathan only played because Gary got in his ear.

EJ's brother Don played 24 games with us before winning a couple of B & F's at Yarraville.

Anyone know where I can get that movie?

It’d be good to watch now that we won the premiership. It’s on free to air from time to time. I watched the Michael Palin Ripping Yarns Golden Gordon after we won it’s on Youtube

'My mum once made the blackest black pudding I've ever seen ... even the white bits were black,' -

Still makes me laugh.

Are Essendon telling Josh they will draft his Brother if he comes to the Bombers. But WON"T if he doesn't?

That is emotional blackmail, and surely must be considered to be tampering in the draft/trade or something along those lines.

Surely they're breaking some kind of rule. If they're not, it's still despicable. GOD I HATE THAT CLUB!

I watched that on YouTube just the other day. Everytime my son and I ask each other EPL results Davitt scored twice in last three minutes and Frank Hagerty saved a penalty no matter what the score was.

I hate to be one of those people but that's from the Testing of Eric Ostlewaite. The most boring boy in the world. He's so boring his parent's run away from home because he won't stop talking about shovels.

Gordon Ottershaw's big quote is that he "might give up football for a bit" (and we've all been there) instead of getting a season ticket at Leeds when Barnestoneworth look like they will stop playing games at the Sewage Works ground.

Yes I loved that show too. "it were a Spear & Jackson number 12"........

New that TD, was just going with the Michael Palin Ripping Yarns reference.

My favourite quote from the series comes from Tomkinson's School Days when the schoolmaster finds him making the full scale model icebreaker in the boat model club. "What the hell is that Tompkinson?" "Well you'll just have to break it down before the head sees it"

Oh and "call me school bully." And the 30 mile hop against the Buddhist public school St Anthony's is a highlight too.
