They are based in the Melbourne suburb of [[Deer Park, Victoria|Deer Park]]. They are mostly known for having a club sponsor who tipped that much money into the club to the detriment of the wrfl. In doing this they not only embarrassed themselves but made the league a laughing stock. Unfortunately players from the club who had stuck by it over its darker less successful years were discarded like pieces of rubbish. Unfortunately, the money will run out one day, and all that will be left will be a lonely old nobody mcgoldrick, sitting in the corner. Unfortunately on his own as without money there will be no one left. But he had fun! It will be interesting to see how many return to the 20 year reunion. Will "Goldie" still be flying high? Congratulations on the 2016 premiership, it should be a walk in the park. You paid/deserve it. I would own a Porsche too if I still lived at my parents place in deer park. |
