Raft of the Medusa

The Raft Of Medusa was a painting by Theodore Gericault.

Not sure whats up with that if anyone can enlighten me.

 

Any way, here it is

He wouldn't have played for us this season, and he knew it. Probably the right decision for him, despite the GF loss.

None of those won a flag and a Norm Smith on the weekend! 
In fact, the only Norm Smith medalist on the above list is a guy not a single recruiter had pegged above Scully or Trengove.

Answer: "Because I wouldn't get a game at Melbourne."

The only thing I was 100 percent sure of on Saturday was that Hannan would go missing. 

(I was only 99 percent sure we would win by 10 goals.)

Cheers thanks, have deployed it usefully on Big Footy.

The demon supporter in the crowd after Trac kicked his dribbling goal to give us a 2 goal lead. He looked like I felt and was almost in tears possibly thinking "is this premiership really going to happen at last".

This bloke. He actually made me feel like I wasn’t alone in being completely unable to comprehend what was happening.

That's the guy. You have summed it up well. Thanks for the back up photo. Your heart does beat true. Cheers and beers.

I've watched that part so many times I feel like I know that bloke! And his mate next to him who is in a similar state of emotion, just buried a little deeper. It was a great choice by the broadcast.

I said it in another thread but that guy is the spirit animal of every Melbourne supporter. The more real it became the more we felt we had to lose, and the more the history of the club weighed on us.

And the best bit is the boys went absolutely berserk and played so well we didn’t have to worry about any of it. 

I’d love to buy that guy a drink.

Yep, he encapsulated it all perfectly; it was written all over his face.
