I like this little banjo bit in the Sydney song.

I dont. Heard it too many times at the SCG.

I particularly enjoyed hearing it today.

I'd say it was probably a bit of a deflating issue for GCS, but AFL these days whoever has to come back from a few down pretty much always falls just a bit short anyway.

A team gets ahead by four or five, loses concentration for a quarter or so, switches back on and nudges away. Coming back takes up a lot of effort, but when the team leading gets its act together again the effort requirement goes up a couple of notches and it's hard to keep it going.

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

GCS players don't really look at all interested. I'm starting to think more than ever that GCS will be what the club University is to today's youth...

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.
