The Melbourne officer class while sipping claret in the gentleman's clubs of the day, sitting in Chesterfield lounges, leather patches on the elbows of their smoking jackets, cravats under their collar & smoking cigars were ordering our working class fodder to get lined up & die for the empire.

Remember this Heenan, the old tragic Magpie & wonderful ex PM Paul Keating called it right over Gallipoli.

Good heavens, the Dees win one game & now their supporters think they are entitled to an opinion Rolling Eyes

Where we have close to 100,000 folk in deferential silence for 60 seconds, they too could do the same (more like stoney silence) with 4,600 at the G for 120 minutes. So I suppose he does have a point Wink


Well said WPT.

One is a nobody, the other wrote a magnificent book called "Kill for Collingwood" back in the 80's.
