The 'We're Still In It' Jacket


MrBurns

Recommended Posts

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 ;)

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
