  1. This is some great, iconic stuff. Well done.
  2. Considering checking out some VPL matches. Especially after making the move from Pakenham to St Kilda, will make getting around much easier.
  3. Huns used to be nomads who caused trouble for the Ancient Romans. Nowadays, the term is generally used by Irish Nationalists to refer to the British (specifically British nationalists). Although I think the context it's being used in here comes from using it to refer to the Germans in the World Wars. As far as I'm aware, it's because they were viewed and uncivilized and barbarians which is how the Romans viewed the original Huns. Visitors probably has less cringeworthy conotations. Unless we have space aliens on the board and don't know about it ... Or you could just call them cunts.
  4. I sincerely hope that won't happen. Smacks of the whole 'Den' and 'RCC' thing the Roar have going. I remember thinking how ridiculous that looked when I first saw it on TV. In my experience, there isn't anyone who seems unapproachable. I got a decently warm welcome the first time I met people that we're qualifying as a leader here. They're not jealously guarding the megaphone. I imagine leading the chants for so long would make you welcome someone else taking over for a stretch.
  5. Hi, I'm Patrick. I come along to the majority (when I'm not in the middle of moving house from Pakenham to the City) of home games with Cammo, been hooked since the first Derby (which Cammo talked me into attending, wasn't a big football fan beforehand - now I love it). Used to lurk on the Yarraside forums, am now over here.
