Robbo’s Top 50 2021
Parish at 12th??? He gets the ball however his disposal is not always the best. Improve that side of his game and I would agree.

Proved them wrong
Thanks for the link. Very entertaining with a common thread. We are April premiers, full of ourselves, umpire favourites and as for us supporters we are "entitled capitalist twats". Nothing wrong with a few good investments eh? There were 3 or 4 with a balanced view but the rest are fairly bitter.

Spot on. Maybe an earlier photo as towards the end he was rather larger. Good get though.

Proved them wrong
Can still picture him. Very short, very large with big round glasses and ruddy face. Always said hello to people as he walked up each aisle.

And I remember the guy at the G shouting "peanuts - shilling a bag".

Melbourne Demons - The movie/documentary?
Waiting with bated breath as how Essendon explain away the drug saga. To some druggie friends of mine IT JUST DIDN'T HAPPEN.

Melbourne Demons - The movie/documentary?
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.

Merch/Memorabilia
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.

When did the tears start watching the grand final?
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.

Your story bought tears to me now. I feel she might have had a sneeky idea that we would do well.

Thank you very much.

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.

What they're saying at Whitten Oval.
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.

Fans in Perth
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.
