Is Camberwell the new Los Angeles?

Well, maybe not. But we've got a new Subway and a new TAB. This rivals the building booms of ten years ago when Blockbuster suddenly appeared and that of five years ago when Safeway and Target swapped places (no, really) and seven different versions of banks and chemists suddenly opened. Speaking of this fine suburb I noticed in the paper today that the old Camberwell Cobras of the VFA are holding their "Team of the Century Reunion" on August 2nd at the Camberwell Civic Center. I miss them, they might have been pounded on a pretty much weekly basis for the last five years of their existence (see below) but at least they were honest and local. Some of the more fearful beatings copped included six of the VFA/VFL's all time top scores for a game. 1st. 55.17(347) Williamstown d. Camberwell (10.08.86) 2nd. 46.21 (297) Coburg d. Camberwell (07.05.89) 5th. 42.20 (272) Port Melbourne d. Camberwell (13.04.86) 6th. 43.12 (270) Preston d. Camberwell (28.05.89) 9th. 39.19 (253) Williamstown d. Camberwell (20.08.89) 10th. 38.24 (252) Williamstown d. Camberwell (01.06.86) Bring them back! UPDATE - From an email I just got, The following day (Sunday) we will be opening the bar at the Camberwell Sports Ground to unveil the Team Of The Century plaque, critique the selectors’ choices and screen Camberwell Grand Final highlights on the big screen. It will commence at 11am and conclude around 3pm. This will cost $15 per person and includes a BBQ lunch (drinks available at bar prices). I am SO going to that.
