Marilyn Monroe marries baseball player Joe DiMaggio./quote]



Boy, Marilyn Monroe was a spunk, wasn't she?

Homosexuality was still illegal.

Apparently not in the Footscray area

Excuse me, but what is a BRISBANE supporter doing in this thread?

Your team of upstarts didn't even exist back in 54.
Footscray may well have a history of underachievement, but if given the choice between the two I'd barrack for them in a heartbeat as opposed to a souless interstate franchise with zero history that was gifted it's premierships courtesy of AFL concessions.

Knock the Doggies all you want, but at least they EARNED their flag. Very hard earnt it actually.
Something a supporter of your franchise can relate to in no way shape or form.

Is that all?

Did you run out of tears?

Lol where do i find a woman like that

Haha, lovin' that last line.

[Bentick's My Man.]

Doesn't that mean they're building new facilities? Tool.

+1.

That has to be one of the fails of the year right there.

 

[Jean Claude Vas Deferens]

OK, let me try and understand this. Dyzla posts a picture taken in 1910 of some bloke with a big mo and says it's Aker on the ergo. Fair enough, mildly amusing, certainly within the spirit of the thread. Cammo78 quite rightly returns fire with a shitheap photo of Punt Road, having a crack back at Dyzla. Fair enough too.

Bentick. Dymmot. I am sure that Cammo realises that Punt Road is being rebuilt, just as Dyzla knows that ain't really Aker and the Doggies facilities are, in fact of an excellent standard, just like Richmonds will be when they're completed. However, this is far to logical a post for the Bay, so remembering where I am, may I refer to you both as complete ****wits for your lame contributions to this thread.

The increase in Bulldogs-related theads in Bay 13 means only one thing.

The fear is palpable.
