Dessie moved to Manly at the same age Bellamy did to Canberra.
So uhh...looks liek Bellyache is actually Newcastle to the core!
Bellamy was a one club man. Des was not.

Haha, I realise this has flaws. You're right, you wouldn't want to be counting rounds 1-3, maybe even 4. But round 11 is a pretty reasonable gauge as to who is playing like a top 8 team and who isn't. And the metric seems to fall against Sticky consistently, which I love.
If you've never been there it's probably hard to understand why the rest of us despise the place so much.I've never been there, I'm from NZ. One thing I do know is that there are currently 8 coaches who have lived in Canberra at some point in their lives. If we are ruling out the other 7 as never wanting to live in the city again, I guess I underestimate the abject hatred of the city of Canberra by Australians.
Fair.I'd rather live in Canberra that large swatches of western sydney. Canberra is a bit soulless I guess and obviously gets very cold in winter. If you're a toothless commodore driving bogan from penrith it would not be the place for you though....
Bellamy was a one club man. Des was not.
I'm pretty sure Michael Maguire or Craig Bellamy would.
Raiders stuck with Ricky for another decade I reckon.
The Newcastle comp was considered first grade!? Since when?Started his grade career in the Newcastle Comp.
Won premierships as a coach at Melbourne.
Nah...

It had literal kangaroos selected from it so yeah...
Of course the standard wasn't quite as good as the Sydney comp which I guess is reflective of old Bellyache's level as a player at the time - Took some time for him to develop into a player good enough for a decent Sydney Comp side but he got there.
Old Bobby Digimon has exposed himself as a moron in this thread
I officially don't consider it first grade.
Good for you I guess?
Bellamy, sadly started his first grade career in the Newcastle Comp and learnt his coaching craft at Brisbane
