If someone can call a bigger jinx than this I'd like to hear it.
One of Fitzroys junior coaches likes to come down & watch the Roys on a few occasions, here's his form.
Round 1 2007 - Rolls up 10 minutes into the 3rd quarter, Roys 10 goals up, stays till the final siren. Roys lose by 3 goals.
Round 7 2007 - Gets there late to catch up for a beer, watches the last 10 minutes, Roys go from 7 goals up to win by 1.
Round 1 2008 - C4's, quarter time score Fitzroy 5.4 Portland 0.5. Watches the 1st 8 minutes of the 2nd qtr, Portland kick 4. Which by the way was their only goals kicked for the game.
Round 1 2008 - Strools in 5 minutes into the last quarter, Roys 6 up. Junior coach marched into the cold room 2 minutes to go, Fitzroy win by a point, Portland miss everything from 50, with free kick on the siren.
If you could bet ''live in betting '' on the A4's we'd all be millionaires.
