      • He's been robbing clubs for years. Starting with us. He's got a nice last pass but that's it. He's couldn't run out of sight on a dark night.

        • Starting with us.

          That would have to have been one of the worst signing decisions in the club's history right???

          "You can have the kid's signature, it'll just be this massive bag of cash and oh you have to wait 2 years while he's out of the game door knocking."

          "Yes please!"

          Has there been any worse? Genuinely interested (and no - Carl Webb was still better).

          • I think Whatmough probably was our worst signing. He didn't want to be at Parra, and we didn't want him Had a dodgy knee when he came here, and hardly played. Such a waste of money

             

            • Choc's signing led to us signing some other players. He was the reason Foran joined us which, at the time, was seen as a very good signing. Also saw us get Beau Scott. Those types of players eventually helped bring through some of our younger players. We didn't have much experience in those days and they helped to bolster the side. Beau Scott always played his best for us, a real professional.

              • Choc - " Foz get your arse over here , firstly you'll escape the betting scandal and secondly it's like winning the Lotto". 

                The only reason the Foz signing was seen as a positive was because we'd been fraudulently excluded from information that made it a terrible signing . Watmong was privy to that information

                 

                aaaand I'm pretty sure we got Beau scott by default as we are the closest to to Camperdown children's hospital. .  No matter which way you look at it Choc was a shit signing .

            • Thanks BA

          • He robbed us, from memory we paid him 750K to whoopa his way around the country side. Then did a very unchristian thing and sued us! So no ME.

            one thing he did give us were the hilarious 1eyed Whoppa Blogs though still up there with some of my favourites. 

            • Yes Macy he did sue us didn't he? I'd completely forgotten about that! That nerve of that dirty floppa.

              Makes it even worse. I'd still say he's the champ.

              At least Wattmough and Foz had a few decent/good games for us, and you could argue that they started the process of getting some better players interested in joining the club. Maybe.
