Beside the point I know, but I always thought it strange that Tadhg Kennelly pronounces his name “Tie” 🤔 I have a nephew named Tadhg but his is pronounced “Tay-dee” which is the usual pronunciation.

Dees_In_October 3,515 Posted December 6, 2022 Author Posted December 6, 2022 B&F speeches. Especially recommend Mick and Daisy's (featuring Chaplin!) for some insight into the behind the scenes stuff from S6 to 7: 1 Quote
Grapeviney 9,931 Posted December 7, 2022 Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Watching them celebrate the past week has almost been as enjoyable as watching them play. Well done to the club, too, for all the content - the pics and videos have been awesome. I love the fact that “Demon Spirit” came to be the umbrella term for everything required to win the premiership, from the selflessness to the camaraderie, to the attack on the footy and more. A social media hashtag that became a creed for the team. Edited December 7, 2022 by Grapeviney 3 Quote

Loved it, some real honest insight from the players. Especially enjoyed Tayla describing her “first ever” goal celebration! And Mick - so much emotion for his players. 1 Quote
