No one should ever apologise to Alan Jeans. Ever. period. least of all a Collingwood supporter.
Unless of course you leave the statue with with mouth open in the urinals behind M10 in the Great Southern stand.[/quote]
Spot on, jeans is the bastard who suelled that swine Odea onto Johnny Greening, with instructions to "take him out early ". I was there, I will never forget or forgive, never ever.

Pharlap? So the other horses had other things on their minds too allowing Pharlap to win? |
Yeah they were considering whether to bat 4 after Bradman or run in the Oaks.

Mate, all the good horses had either died on Gallipoli seventeen years earlier, or were limbering up for the two miler on the Kokoda Trail ten years later. 
And as for that no-hoper Bradman, don't get me started....
