Patrick Cripps.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Nice to see a few nominations for Sir Dane Rampe. We’ve always been very proud of our lad and good to see some oppo supporters agreeing.

I’d be more than happy to reciprocate, but with kids and work, the days where I could keep up-to-date with other club’s players are gone for now. I’ll just say there’s at least a couple of players from each club that I respect. (Usually expressed by me watching a game on telly and saying “that guy with the beard is quite good”.)

He is an excellent defender, superb

 

[captain cotch 9]

Jack Watts

He is the ****

 

[captain cotch 9]

I like Sloane. I played against him in jnrs so have followed his career closely.
Fyfe is my favourite non-Tiger to watch. Seems like a absolute pro who dosnt do/say things just to please people. He does things his own way.

 

[The 747]

So if he played for as Vic team would it have made him magically a better player or would he be perceived by the dullard parochial press and by extension the dullard Victorian public in general to be better?

Your interstate hate is pathetic. Grow up mate.
