Look at some of the players who DO come from Sydney. McVeigh. Jack. Roberts-Thomson. Bird. There's a winning team by itself. Not to mention all our heroes who hail from Albury or Wagga like Kells and Kirkie. OK it's a modest start but the "indigemous" NSW list grows each year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-85905979204733260892012-10-01T19:42:32.320+10:002012-10-01T19:42:32.320+10:00"The MCG could well be the center of the know..."The MCG could well be the center of the known universe."<br />Not possible; the Canucks play in 'Roger's Arena'.<br /><br />CheersMinicapthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13421626155178200181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-5881898784641915082012-10-01T15:38:48.651+10:002012-10-01T15:38:48.651+10:00Very clever.

What a wonderfully liberating experience it has been.
