Deemented Are Go!

Ha! I've got my jumper hanging on the wall above my monitor!

I cunningly planned my work flow this week to have all the intricate stuff boxed off yesterday. Monday is totally setup. Now to while away the next 2 hours sneakily browsing Demonland!

YAAAWWWNNNN

A Hawks supporting colleague of mine is convinced Nicholls has it in for Hawthorn, says it is common wisdom among Hawk fans. Goes to show perception is a funny thing... But I still reckon he's a [censored] [censored]

“...now blow those candles out, we’re gonna kick you, kick you”

Resign immediately

I hope they have the chicken mesh across the stage a la Blues Brothers!

Promise to buy my daughters inaugural memberships for 2019.

Thanks Chook, but erm, VFL?

Sorry if previously mentioned: So we’re in the Prelim against against the winner of who v who?

Hey Drunkn, you got a score - I'm stranded at work!

I’m staggered this thread is up to 7 pages

Let me tell you a story. Last week, when I got home from the Sydney game, I had a most bittersweet moment. I’ve been teaching my 3.5 yo twin girls about footy and the Dees. They haven’t been to a match yet (wouldn’t last a quarter!), but I take them to watch the local Girls’ team and the Thirds play at our local EFL ground. They call out and point to anyone playing footy ‘look daddy there’s a demon!’. They know we like red and blue. They can pick out the Dees mascot in their toddler AFL book. The brainwashing is working. And they know about 75% of ‘grand old flag’. Anyway, when I was leaving the G last week in a [censored] rage, I made the obligatory text to my non-football-loving lady that I was on my way home. Without caring to check if we had won or not, she had a ‘grand old flag’ singalong with the girls queued up for when I walked through the door, complete with flags and scarves. I smiled , shook my head and said maybe we should save it for the next win. I’d gotten 2 new flags for the girls but left them bitterly in the boot of the car. Their smiling faces beneath their Dees beanies just ripped my bloody heart out; as much as the club had an hour earlier. It took every ounce of mindfulness to enjoy the moment for what it was, albeit gut wrenching. Today, the girls were obliviously playing elsewhere as I watched us forge a win to get us into finals for the first time in 12 years. A third of my lifetime. Once Kent kicked that goal, I got the flags from the boot of the car, put the girls beanies on and made them watch the dying minutes. We danced around the coffee table, waving flags, me choking back tears and the girls loudly singing ‘grand old flag’ on its 14th repeat. And they knew all the words. The future is bright, people. ❤️?

Chunky

Umps are lifting

GUS WTF??!!

Or maybe GG Allin?

Such a good pre-game song - nice one SWYL ??

Awesome. Nicholls umpiring. He can [censored] us up the ass by proxy ?

Go Woods. ugh, that hurt

Living vicariously through one’s offspring is a parent’s prerogative. Especially when it comes to Lego and brainwashing (I mean influencing) in regards to football. My girls favourite songs right now are ‘Happy Dog’ by Justine Clarke and ‘Grand Old Flag’.

No. This is completely normal. My kids are still on Duplo - can’t wait till they’re big and dexterous enough for real lego!
