All of it starting in the corridors of the Brighton Hotel Pub. Where else would you create a Premiership dynasty!
“The night he signed me up.. I remember Guy and I, we bumped into each other out the front of the toilets.. It was done within 30 seconds, it was really quick”
Lalor also went in-depth about his current role as coach of the Parkdale Vultures which saw them end a 1,009 day losing streak in Round 7 and then snap a 1,047 day losing streak at home in Round 8.

Ask Grumpy Brian has been put on the back burner for this week, as a replacement, Heriot brings his VAFA insights to the table instead.
