Ok

Now who's St Kilda

Sent from my Nokia 7.2 using Tapatalk
Various theories have been proposed for the origin of the word Kilda, which dates from the late 16th century. No saint is known by the name.[17] Haswell-Smith (2004) notes that the full name St Kilda first appears on a Dutch map dated 1666, and that it might have been derived from Norse sunt kelda ('sweet wellwater') or from a mistaken Dutch assumption that the spring Tobar Childa was dedicated to a saint. (Tobar Childa is a tautological placename, consisting of the Gaelic and Norse words for well, i.e., 'well well').[3] Martin Martin, who visited in 1697, believed that the name "is taken from one Kilder, who lived here; and from him the large well Toubir-Kilda has also its name".

Saint Kilda didn't really exist, just like the football club, who probably shouldn't.
 
Seriously with the Viccentric media reporting 80% Pies, Dees and Carlton then 10% saints with Brisbane getting 5 Sydney and GWS 4 leavi mg sport 1% attention, I’m going to vomit

I seriously think Melbourne can win tonight.
Best time to play the Pies for me is right now.

Melbourne can definitely win
 
When did the anthem change from "we are young and free" to "we are one and free"?
A while ago, another one of those quiet changes.

It was made because we are not young but apparently we are still free.
