    Yes, and pay the fine Bad era for our club . Had another dust up with a fear woman and her hubby .
    We were getting beat by Hawthorn in 04 ( late in the year) I said in jest we should trade Scotty West . She basically stood near us for two hours abusing me .

      In all fairness you got off lightly I don't think I would have liked to hear that.I loved scooter he was a gun thought he was soft when he first came down but I doubt we have ever had a harder worker.

        It was said in jest , in the way of " oh yes let's trade West " .

          I was on a train coming back from Moorabbin after another flogging from the saints when a bloke near me bad mouthed Doug Hawkins only to find out the old woman sitting in front of him was Douggie's mum. The language! The old girl effed and blinded at the top of her voice all the way from Highett to Flinders street without taking a breath. It was an amazing feat of endurance and the poor guy got off the train about a foot and a half shorter. He just kind of shrank in embarrassment the longer she went on. Everyone else enjoyed it though.

          It must have been funny standing on any of the platforms we stopped at. DING The door Opens and the air fails with "You sit in the *!*!*!*!ing grandstand do you? Like lord *!*!*!*!ing muck? You'll never be half the man that my Doug is. He's made me *!*!*!*!ing prou" DING and everything goes quiet again.
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            Classic. Trains run every 20 minutes, if I was that bloke I'd be getting off at the next stop!!

            Doug's Mum must've been in shock - not many Dogs fans had a bad word for him.

              It was a bit too packed for ease of egress.

                Oh that's different but if we were getting a flogging I may not have recognised the sarcasm.

                  Was it The Flying Egg who used to call him Ben 'Clutch' Harrison for his ability to nail set shots? That always made me laugh, especially when said clutch shots normally occurred when we were 8 goals down

                    TFE was a big fan. Him and Andrew wills were his big faves.

                      The funniest post I've read for a long time 2D. Hilarious sketch.

                        Now that is a good idea. I've pretty much written it maybe just change a few names. I'm sure Doug doesn't want to see his mum portrayed as some sort of fishwife.

                            A poster from BigFooty.

                            But really it was Andrew Wills.

                              The first moment of real footy insight I can remember having is realising Andrew Wills sucked.

                                I was old enough to realise how bad he was when he was at Geelong.
