  1. Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga sing it. In Deutch naturlich.
  2. Watching it now and the channel 7 buffoons are ok to listen to. What has happened???
  3. Congrat's to the family. First one is always special.
  4. The oldest, continuous playing football club of any football code in the world. There was a club near Bolton (UK) started a few years before 1858 but they folded after a while.
  5. Got one yesterday. Good read.
  6. Drove out to Bayswater this morning and got mine. They also threw in a "Carn Demons" poster for free if you get the Weg poster on a board. He was happy to talk to me about the finals in the 50's.
  7. So much has been posted after the game covering my thoughts on other topics after winning. I have been fortunate to have seen the grand finals since 1955, meeting some brilliant people along the way as we started the cheer squad and were heavily invested in the club. Like all of us, we have sat through some very cold winters with little reward other that great friendships sharing the highs (now and again) and lows (plenty). The lead ups to the finals gave me so much confidence that we would go very close and the boys just got stronger as a team the closer we got to the Grannie. My greatest disappointment was that the game was not here in Melbourne to reward us long suffering supporters (imagine the crush inside the MCC members) but I wish to compliment the people of Perth on the way they took us to their hearts and supported the Dee's. The noise and the colour was just brilliant and possibly as close as if the game was held at the "G". The amount of retro colours in the crowd just confirms that we have a good support base there, and with our win hopefully future matches in W.A. will show more Red & Blue colours in the crowd. Once again a great thank you to the Perth crowd and Dee supporters from Melbourne and Adelaide who able to make it over there. Watching highlights of the game still have my eyes welling up at times. To hear other peoples stories of family members and friends who have passed on and not being able to share in this win, and what it might have meant to them, is not lost on me as I have lost people as well. Looking forward to the club and MCC organizing for us to meet the players ASAP and would be brilliant if the medals could be presented again with the likes of Ronald D Barrasi or even "chunk" presenting. AFL better come to the party next year with a blockbuster for the flag unfurling.
  8. Your story bought tears to me now. I feel she might have had a sneeky idea that we would do well.
  9. Where did you get the top poster that looks like an old WEG one? I would prefer that one to the one the Herald Sun are pushing.
  10. Read quite a few pages after 26 to watch it unfold. They were fairly good but when the result was so obvious one started to attack Channel 7 especially BT. So it's just not us that cannot stand him. It was funny.
  11. That's assuming the all powerful AFL lets us have home games at the "G" against the bigger Vic clubs instead of GC, Freo and the like.
  12. Hey Mark. Hope your enjoying the game. Heard your interview the other day on SEN. 49 points ahead as we talk. All the best. Malcolm
  13. The good thing that stands out to me with all the banners and decorations for either clubs is that people respect what others have done with no damage to displays. Not so sure if we were playing some other clubs. You fill in the clubs name.
  14. We started the cheer squad in 1959 so have seen a few (1956 onwards). In 1964 we were in T-section (city end) which was standing room only but had 4 rows of seats on the fence. After the game we stayed at the G overnight as the club put on food and drinks and we just soaked up the atmosphere. Played footy on the ground in eerie light around midnight. Still have very clear memories from that finals series and looking forward to new memories from this season.
  15. Can someone get this thru to Matthew Lloyd. That's all he sprouts is one game in 28 days. Mind you he is tipping us.
  16. What do you expect when Channel 7 is run from Sydney. No Flippen idea that lot up there.
  17. As long as he has told the umpiring department.
  18. The old Kings Park photo op. I do love Perth as I have family and friends there BUT the attitude towards "easteners" is small town minded. Fortunately most don't subscribe to it. Max lead our boys to the premiership. I was at the last one and been waiting a long time for this one. Bring it home. Go Dee's.
  19. If not opened tomorrow then next year for a huge birthday.
  20. I have both as well BUT I have earmarked a Grange '78.
  21. That's not true. They sneek up on you as you cannot see their fin's anymore.
