Well, if I can only pick from the teams I've barracked for then that would
have to be the Blues mascot, because they're the only team I've ever
barracked for.

The best mascot of all times is easy; the Gorillas. Why Fitzroy abandoned
that to become the Lions is anyone's guess, they might as well have called
themselves the Rotarians or Apex.

Worst is probably the Fuschias. HAW HAW!

I would have liked to have seen a Shinboner mascot. What would that look
like? A jolly fat man with a big knife and an apron covered in pig's blood?

mayblooms is a little bit better than marchpremiers, but still peaking a
fair bit too early

apparently that mascot's head was dropped off the back of a boat 10 or
12 kms behind Rotto. That would be a nice surprise for any scuba diver.
