Andrew Voss just compared Melbourne to St George 1956-66.

[brokendigit]

FMD.

 

[King hit]

Never before never again, the perfect way to describe 1956-66 for your mob. That's such a great book as well, I read it last year.

But Vossy is still the best commentator

 

[Old Timer]

If he said that in earnest he has NFI
11 in a row in an era where you had to field 3 grades plus have a fully organised junior competition and Melbourne cheat the cap and have a team of hired guns and get the run of the green all year
f**k Andrew Voss he obviously never saw 1st hand how great the St George era was

 

[TomRedVRiver]

Even though it was a completely outlandish statement (which Vossy is known for), I cannot see anybody beating this Melbourne side this year. Too well structured, too well drilled, too much speed, perfect execution.

Haven't seen a team like this in some time.

They were amazing. Clinical.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

St George were so dominant in 56-66 that it ended up producing another premiership in 2016

 

[jeffdragon]

But they let the sharks win
A fixed g final

 

[1st & 10]

What is Voss on?

 

[Saints Forever]

Melbourne have been outstanding for some time now

Particularly enjoyed that grand final against Manly in 2008

What was the score again ?

Any attempted comparison with STG circa 56-66 is embarrassing

Gasnier/Raper/Langlands/Provan/Smith/Ryan/Kearney-Walsh and and and .......................

The side had a truck full of the best players to ever grace the game.

No further commentary required.

Vossy give yourself a gigantic uppercut

 

[Crush]

Not sure why you watch the storm play rabbits when the Bledisloe cup is on. THAT was a cracking game! Finally some quality rugby from the Wallabies!

 

[gregstar]

Different era obviously.

But I'd have enjoyed being a storm supporter more for the last 20 odd years than a saints one.

Awesome coach. Awesome players (regardless of rorts). Awesome game plans.

Outside of the muppet Murray years, the storm have been the club of the last 2 decades.

They have been a very strong club since their inception thanks to the Murdoch family and News Corp.

They have won 2 grand finals and lost 3 in the past 18 years.

Several clubs have had greater success over extended periods including:

STG 56-66
Souths side of 67-73
Manly 72-78
Parra 76-86
Canterbury 80-88
Canberra 89-94
Brisbane 92-06

Each of the above named clubs won more than 2 premierships during their periods of dominance.

They are the dominant team this season, however would not suggest that they will necessarily win the premiership.

Roosters/Sharks/Brisbane are all capable of beating them on their day.

Send Vossy for a HIA.

True. I certainly do not dispute the rorting as I already mentioned. Neither the powerful influence behind them.

But do you think a storm fan would give a shit? Do you think a fan would think their gf wins are worth any less to them? If that was saints, I couldn't have given a f**k.

Would you have wished we had had their success & culture over the last 20 years?
Who has been better than them over this period?

Common denominator...Bellamy

Common denominator...Bellamy

Yep.

And we were a chance of nabbing him, but I guess he was happier with the culture &'players down in Victoriania.

And look at the complete gimp we've got.

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Sure Vossy....thats why it takes you an hour and a half to watch 60 minutes.....get a life

 

[Dragsters]

Common denominator...Bellamy

Smith and Bellamy are the reason...

Storm dominated thru 08, then smith gets suspended for the GF and they disintegrated.

Manly played the perfect semi final series, smashing us then the warriors, before annihilating a smith-less storm...

 

[possm]

What is Voss on?

A little early Voss, how about coming back and saying something like that when the Storm wins its 11 GF in succession. It will never happen and the Storm will never be as good as the mighty Dragons of that era. No team has come close since and never will.

 

[Walpole]

Common denominator...Bellamy

Doesn't hurt having those other three blokes in the team either.
