Hah, Hah, Hah Dragit, they might be a little loose with the wording, it could be GT, hasn't he got a couple of wannabe sons living at home........dragit wrote:"Former star with teenage son" rules us out I would imagine, as we don't have any imminent father sons coming from former stars?

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.
I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

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.

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

Re: Hope it's not an ex-Saint?
Well it looks like all the sookie la las didn't get what they hoped for, someone to bow down to their opinions. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
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

Do you think he was a former champion player? I've never heard GT spoken of in that regard.
Re: Hope it's not an ex-Saint?
I do my Dad played for Vic.
What an achievement, to represent your state, and I'm very proud of him.

Which AFL team did he play for?
Re: Hope it's not an ex-Saint?
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

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.
