"Former star with teenage son" rules us out I would imagine, as we don't have any imminent father sons coming from former stars?

The article actually says "former champion AFL player", rules out GT pretty comfortably.

Can't see Banger beating up Connor with a baseball bat, but you never know…

I'll pick Collingwood, just for a laugh.

GT wore the Big V
That makes him a Champion.

Dermott Brereton, I'm reliably informed by a source at the Herald Sun.

It is Dermott. Came out at our footy club on Tuesday or Wednesday. His son hasnt been playing in the junior side he coaches and apparently has some pretty serious personal issues.

you gotta laugh...it used to work...they must have changed it after a few waved their teary farewells here then proceeded to bag us on big footy.....they thought it was a barrel of laughs until a ss member posted a link to the thread here....oh well....there are enough clues here for you to work out who it is....

.ps...he has blond hair, walked funny on a footy field and thinks big ed is funny..... :twisted:

Well it looks like all the sookie la las didn't get what they hoped for, someone to bow down to their opinions. :)

But seriously and teasing aside I hope by the thread title in the link it's not true,regardless of what footy team.

No wonder BF canned it

I didn't call him horrible.

Do you think he was a former champion player? I've never heard GT spoken of in that regard.

Did your Dad play footy for Victoria?

Which AFL team did he play for?

Yes he played for Vic, but he played for South United footy club,(and later the bloods) Swans wanted to pick him up but he didn't want to play for them, Things are different these days, Now days are all about dollars. Forget exactly what he said but could play for the Swans for a couple of Shillings or stay where he was with his mates

bit like i don't understand the usage of words like fully sick......gay time etc.....


ps...did you ever see grant play????/.....i did...many times...

No worries stinger...

Would you class grant as a former champion of the game?

I can't imagine many doing so, though he might have been a fine player.
