WE were taking a few pics of Saints flags today and saw that Tommy Bent is wearing a Coll scarf - PLEASE someone from Brighton get up there and rip the thing off?
This is a team game and there is no room for individuals who think they are above walking through the fire.

I plan to visit TB's statue sometime on Sat night.
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

Well his true colours are not showing - he needs dressing up before Sat night or you will be drinking under a Coll scarf!

Any chance of anyone getting a Saints flag above the 1956 Olympic Swimming Pool site?
I once spent a year in Adelaide, I think it was on a Sunday.

Love this site sometimes, just googled Bent and got a history lesson off Wikipedia, knowledge I never would have had.
Maybe this year?

if he does somehow appear in our colours before the game it will be collingwood fans trying to reverse the hoodoo.
too late for them though. the damage is already done.

He's been moved since '66 anyway. Most people would not even notice him as they drive by now.

Tommy Bent...a very "colourful" character. And certainly important in the history of the whole bayside area.
In honour of those who went before, in the dark and desperate years.

Bent by name, bent by natur.
He's the reason there is a train line that runs through Bentleigh 'cos he owned the land.
Plus isn't he the gentleman who may have lost the Mace from Parliament down in the brothels around Lonsdale Street?

The suburb Bentleigh, is actually named after Tommy's daughter, Leigh Bent.
I dont understand what happened to the jinx. Were we outjinxed, or was jinx just a cat that chased Pixie and Dixie? (a littel Hanna Barbera humour for the oldies!).
