Whilst reading the local rag tonight, the match report of the Werribee v 'Northern Blues' game caught my eye, the reporter initially refers to Werribee's opponent as the 'Northern Blues' then proceeds to call them 'Carlton' on no less than three occassions - see copy of match report attached. Seems this reporter is not fooled by the red (or was it navy blue?) jumper and can see it's really just Carlton in drag, sad sad :-(
I feel sorry for the thousands of former Preston supporters and workers over the decades that made the Bullants a strong club who now dont have real club to follow.
CARLTON IN DRAG !!
Another Notthern Blues bashing forum, gee you must have something else to talk about.

Preston man,
I don't think you understand that this forum is made up of a lot people that have a strong life time affiliation & affection to the once mighty VFA/VFL.
Most comments come from those diehards that watched the great competiting sides blossom into a really viable & vibrant competetion.
From what I can gather the recent comments are mainly of disappointment that such a great club as Preston would just roll over for the sake of a little prestige & plenty of dollars.
I can appreciate you loyalty & passion & if there had been many the same as yourself who knows things may not be what they are today.
I liked the Preston club & it's people like Jill Maseck, but as for Carlton ugh !!!
Preston Man it is not Preston bashing as the majority of old VFA people on this forum have the utmost respect for Preston Bullants. It is Carlton that are despised by many including yours truly.
BTW why is there a team called Northern Blues in the VAFA ???? Disgusting as they can't even have the name Preston even in the VAFA. Would it hurt to use the Preston name ???
I'd love to see Coburg come in to the vfl next year as Coburg-Preston. How good would that be!
Have you heard the new team song? It is a truly heinous bastardized version of the awful Carlton dirge, even contains the laughably inaccurate line "we're the only team old Preston knows"!
I truly don't know why Carlton saw the need to envelop Preston like they did, it really makes very little sense.

Sadly that's the modern AwFuL model under Adolf Demetriou at work, suck the life out of a club and discard the desiccated husk....hmmm, make me wonder how Fizroy are going in the "Ammo's"....

Fitzroy are going along quite well, have progressed from D4 to B grade & have done enough this year to avoid relegation, their under-age sides are incredibly successful & should provide a steady source of senior players in future years. Ironically they are playing back at the Junction Oval this Saturday for the first time since they were booted off in the mid-90's.
oops, mid-80's i meant .....
