[Master Q]

[Alex7089]

??? Minor premiership means nothing unless you take home the cup

[Master Q]

??? Minor premiership means nothing unless you take home the cup

I meant the NAB cup which is usually called the Minor Premiership I think. Do you follow NRL?

[ossie85]

That also means nothing :)

[Master Q]

That also means nothing :)

What can Essendon have to say to prove that there better?

Oh I got one for Carlton, we'll win a Premiership before them.
