Sporting capital? Useless Gits!

[kimbopen]

No, you are definitely a tool.

Many Melbourne Cups winners ahve not been from Melbourne, Mikybe Diva was an English horse and then brought to Australia by a bloke from SA. Even Phar Lap was a Kiwi.

Not one NSW side made the NRL GF this year - but a Melbourne one did - are they f**ked as well?

Melbourne host the best sporting events it can get it's hands on - the AFL Grand Final, the Grand Prix, Tri Nations and SOO Rugby League, Wallabies Rugby Union, several high profile soccer clubs, the list goes on.

And the great thing about it is, we Melburnians support these events by going along and watching.

Now if we were to host "World Handbag Tossing Championships" I'm sure half of Geelong would make the trek up the highway for that.

Nah, they'd want to hold THAT in Geelong!

Ridiculous comparison, although vic trainers don't do much anyway in racing. Hayes is a south aussie, Freedman is originally from nsw.

What are you talking about? V8s >>>>>>>>>> powered wheelchairs (maybe)

Ah yeah V8s ARE GREATER THAN powered wheelchairs, but what is your point child?

 

[RoosterLad]

And teeth>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>no teeth.

You will just have to trust me on that one.

I dunno mate, if we are talking about HJs i'd have it the other way around

First you lose the F1 grand prix then you lose Gibbs. The hurt just keeps on coming.

Do you think we care about losing the Grand Prix? Naahh Your welcome to that. Although it was a lot more successfull in Adelaide, just ask the drivers where they preferred it. As for Gibbsy, how can you lose something you never had and who knows, he's only very young and there's a good chance he will want to come home in the future, and if he turns out to be the champion player The AFC will make that happen.

I'm not a tool.

Are you sure?

Now the Melbourne Cup has gone 'offshore' just like the last six premierships have gone over the border. So much for the sporting Capital LOL. Useless gits!

No one is disputing that Melbourne is great for staging events, I love getting over there for things. It's more the fact that you kinda never win anything.

 

[burto]

Did a Melbourne driver win the Grand Prix? No.

By the way....

V8s >>>>>>>>> F1s

Possibly the first time I have ever agreed with RoosterLad.

Nothing happens in f1's. V8's are classic.

V8's are for bogans in Hicksville country.

 

[Inferno]

Ehh...Why bring up the Melbourne Cup? Melbourne horses almost never win the Cup because most horses live/train in the bush.

 

[burto]

V8's are for bogans in Hicksville country.

No, they are for Australians.

 

[eastaugh36]

No. All motor sport is for bogans!

 

[johhno's girl]

Please, please. Tell me that people didn't think Melbourne was the sporting capital because of winning things?

Please tell me you didn't really think that was how they branded this city the sporting capital?

LMAO

Oh Dear, I think we have some people that aren't quite right posting. LOL

I can't believe some actually thought that! Funny funny.
This is why. Silly gits!!
