O'Loughlin 1 Goodes 2

[top40]

But his folks were only there on holidays. He was back in Sydney before he was 12 months old. You can't say that for Jolley, Goodes or Micky O.

Perhaps you should try to do a bit more research mate. By the time he was aged of 34, Patrick White had only ever lived in Australia for just 11 years.

Now let's get this right, ROK Lobster:

-Micky O and Adam Goodes are both illegible to have a Grandstand named after them in New South Wales:
-not because of where they were both born outside NSW. That doesn't matter, look at the Patrick White example, and
-not because they both commenced permanently and thus far continuously living in Sydney since they were both still teenagers, (Micky O was only 17, Goodes was 18), and
-not because of any contributions they made have made as Sydney Swans footballers, on and off the field within the state of New South Wales, particularly noting their feats at the SCG itself.

No, the SCG shouldn't name a Grandstand after them because they spent their CHILDHOODS outside the state of New South Wales.

Ahh......the penny's dropped, I get you now.

You guys crack me up!! That was one of the funniest threads on RWO for quite some time and I think only just behind the one about the "free hit" rule!

Not sure about naming a stand after Darren Jolly though - perhaps the maternity ward at the Prince of Wales Hospital down the road would be more appropriate?

I understand what you are saying, but in my experience they are only like that when some twit behind the counter does not know how to operate a pie warmer correctly (or they ran out too quick, so some nuff-nuff put them in the microwave to heat them up).

But, hey, as you said it's all subjective.

Since you won't get pies any other way at the footy, case closed!

As for naming the stand, maybe with the SCG trust involved and Pura needing a new publicity outlet (since the Pura Cup has now reverted to being the Sheffield Shield) people will one day be sitting in the Pura 98.2% Fat Free Once Was Milk Stand
