  1. Has any premiership ever brought as much joy to its supporters as this has to ours? I can't stop watching the GF and all the other games leading up to it. I'm so proud of this team, that refuses to give in and has confidence to know that wherever they are, they can still win. It's good to see the supporters are just as united as the playing group. My kids have forgiven me. I've watched all the games we played throughout the season, several times, but I won't watch the Collingwood game, for obvious reasons.
  2. You'd leave Sparrow out for Dunstan? Wow.
  3. I think the goal he kicked after the siren against Geelong, in the final round of the year, will go down as one of the most important in our clubs history. He misses that kick and it changes the whole complexion of the finals. He is a legend and perhaps a bigger legend that a lot of us imagine.

    I haven’t opened it yet, my son ordered it and told me it was blu-ray, I’ll check with him. It cost over $150 per set so I’d hope it is. 😬

    Imagine when you would have got it if you hadn't.

    Got my blue ray set of the games but it was through DVD Land not the club.
  7. My neighbour told me it's time to take mine down, all the more reason to leave it there, she is just a busy body and doesn't like football. I will make one concession, I'll surround it with Christmas Decorations, to give it a festive look. I'm going to go down to one viewing of the GF a week now, I can watch all the other games in between.

    I think you'll find that the State Government will finance it.

    And loyal supporters that refused to abandon the club. We have by far the best supporters of any club, we didn't jump on board this year, we've been there for ever.

    I doubt it's that, it's more likely that because of Covid there are a lot more items being sent in the mail and they have a shortage of delivery drivers. They were good up until a few months ago but seem to have slowed down a bit, they did warn that there would be delivery issues around Christmas time.

    My order didn't go in until the 6th Oct, I thought I'd let the rush subside, bad move.

    Jumper, Hat, T Shirt, Hoodie.
  13. I went to South Australia for a week to see my brother and his wife and try as I might I couldn't convince them to watch the replay. To make matters worse my sister in law loves classical music and whilst I don't mind it I had trouble listening to it for 6 or 7 hours at a time and after spending half a day with either Bach or Beethoven in the background I was about ready to slash my wrists sensing this my dear sister in law would throw on some Enya or whale sounds to cheer me up. So after 7 days of this and missing the MCG Celebration and the replay, I got home yesterday and the first thing I did was turn the replay on and again today, I think I've wiped out the memory of my "holiday" over in SA but to make sure I will watch it again tomorrow.
  14. Dunstan certainly looks fit, not an ounce of fat on him so he looks like he will give it a big go.

    I've got nothing at all so far, I'm beginning to think they've forgotten me 😪
  16. Have a look at Tomlinson, he wants back in the side and a premiership medal, he looks like he’s in ripping form.
  17. It’s time for the new guard, I’m sick of the smug attitude of the “Big Four” and their supposed right to play finals. Let Carlton play a few so we can consign them to the dustbin.

    He’s not an anti vaxxer and his political views should be irrelevant. I'm surprised that, as a doctor, you would offer an opinion without having access to his medical records.
  19. Not sure, we only have two Gun Ruckmen, no back up, unfortunately 😀

    I'm not prepared to speculate what went wrong, because I don't know.

    Hope he gets better, I like Dima and he's had a tough time over the last couple of years. AFL news: Paul Dimattina in intensive care after reacting to Covid booster shot | news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site This will encourage those not Vaccinated to remain that way, not good.
  22. I'm going to miss out because my partner planned a trip for us to Adelaide and I can't get out of it, we're driving and I couldn't let her drive all the way by herself. We have an AirBnB booked so we can't cancel that without the loss of all monies paid. I even looked at coming home the 4th and flying back the evening of the 5th. But the difficulty of getting an entry check would mean that I'd have to fly home go straight to a Covid testing centre fill out another application and have another covid test as soon as I get to Adelaide Airport, or quarantine till I do. As it is I had a test yesterday and theoretically, as soon as we cross the border I have to have another, I can wait till I get to my final destination, the Barossa Valley, I think. Who would have thought it would be that hard to go to another State.
  23. How many times have you eaten out and wished you'd ordered the steak instead of the hamburger.
  24. When does next season start? Whenever it is, I wish it were sooner.
