Mine didn't even make it up on the online blog let alone the paper, I was being serious when I said the 30s was the best era, Ken Farmer, what a star!!

That's because you were only asked to compare the 70's, 80's and 90's. :roll:

You mean maybe he can't do some decent journalism and study up on the subject?

I thought his choice of eras was fine as the majority of readers would remember those eras well, gorwing up in that time and attending footy games.

Going back further makes things a bit debatable. I doubt too many people using blogs and forums went to games in the 30's.

Bah! Im on internet forums more than anyone and I remember the 30s as though they were yesterday. Nothing will ever beat those Farmer days.

But you only won 2 flags in the 30s which makes the 70s just a good for yous chickens.

Yeah but watching Farmer week in week out especially when he kicked 23 goals in one game was priceless.
Ahhhh, they were the days.

Dear Mr Dawe,

There are some football fans who actually don't enjoy reading "The Boast" (err, Roast) each week by your "chief football writer". If there is any way you could possibly enlighten him to the finer points of journalism (eg. writing balanced columns, not beginning sentences with prepositions) and add these to some of his lesser habits (eg. trying to funny with the woeful "Songs for AFL clubs", writing wildly slanted articles that are little more than catty mudslings), then this will do more for football readers in your newspaper than any poll you could possibly conduct.

Amen.
