The 'We're Still In It' Jacket

[MrBurns 36]

Greetings,

I've lost something of mine that is dear to me. It is a dark blue jacket with red letters on the back saying: "We're still in it". It is tailor-made and my lucky jacket.

I'm quite supersticious about these kinds of things, so if anyone has any info about it, that would be great.

I went to lost and found and all they had were a whole bunch of yellow and black scarves. Thousands of them.

But no red and blue. Good sign for the year to come!

cheers, and thank you,

Mr Burns

Can't have been that lucky of a jacket if you lost it. Besides, we won; so maybe losing it was a good thing. Also, I don't think those Richmond scarves were "lost" so much as abandoned.




In all sincerity I hope someone here found your jacket and can give it back to you.

Hehehe, yeah, I see your point.

I usually have to take it off at quarter time but the boys managed to keep me wearing it 'till the final siren. Then I swung it over my head when the song came blasting out of the speakers, and several distractions later, it was gone.

Oh well. Might have to make a new one.

Which goal do you reckon was the coffin nail? Mine's Big Bad Bernie's bomb from outside 50...

Methinks jacket and scarves are Montgomery's comic construction, a metaphor if you will (apologies Monty if it really IS a real jacket!)

Anyway, I can foresee two Demonland camps pursuing this: one that finds the jacket and waves it proudly at the world and an opposing one that calls it for premature vanity.

Let the 'We're still in it / You're dreaming" battle begin (how do I insert one of those little smiley demons?)

MrBurns replied while I was constructing. You can ignore me (how do I insert a little 'oops' demons?)

I still have my 90yo father's jacket from 1964. He is still a paid-up member but finally didn't renew his 'red seat' this year. Hopefully I can give it back to him to wear to the Grand Final next year!

In 98 I decked myself out in red and blue for round 1 (watching us lose to Freo) then dragged myself in no colours to round 2 against Carey and the Roos. We smashed 'em, and then I rarely wore colours again for the rest of the season!

It did pretty well if you recall
