My youngest brother borrowed money from me and my oldest just to go. He’s nuts

Nah because if we lost to collingbog in the Gf, I could never live that down.

Kiss anyone in sight

What I meant was I carn remember the last time it was played. Not even the “newer” version included it.

I dunno. Why update something we never ever use?

Problem is some demon fans use self-depricating humour, just accept it when other people hang it on our club instead of defending themselves. This needs to stop. We have to stop accepting abuse and bad things being said by others and ourselves and start to show pride in our club. Be more defensive

All my nieces/nephews have a ‘football-day’ for the last day of the term (this Friday.) they get to wear their football colours instead of school uniforms. With Demons still in the finals, they can wear them with pride and not have anyone ribbing them. A complete opposite from a few years ago. Kinda tempted to have the day off work to see them.

If my dad never sees us win a cup, I’d be devastated. I’d give up my ticket for him if we couldn’t go together. Mum died in 1983, so we were going terrible at that time.

This. Even as a woman, I’m appalled by the lack of focus on players and more what their current, Gf, wife, whatever is wearing. I didn’t see this focus on male partners when the WAFL equivalent was bought out. Seriously, who cares what their current whatever is wearing or how much skin she’s showing? When did it become about fashion? It makes me wish more players would do a Jim Stynes and bring their parents, so we can stop focusing on clothes

Poor Footscray. Won a cup 2 years ago and us, nothing since 1964, have more members. That’s scary.

For anyone on here who went to or can at least remember our last premiership, can you share some of your memories of it? What the week before it were like, how did you feel during the game, how confident were you and most especially how was it afterwards. It’d be so nice to have a DVD of this, unfortuantly we’re the only premiership winning team that doesn’t have a viewable premiership. All we have are these: The rothmans highlights, 11 minutes long, prerecorded commentary, players look like small sticks. Less than three minutes of the last quarter, missing several plays in extremely poor footage.

I look at the large supporter base Carlton has. What if their last premiership had been 1968. Would they have had their supporters fall like we did? 50+ yearscwithout a cup is a lot to ask any club. How many teams could take that? (Fitzroy clearly couldn’t.) If we’d win the same as them (8) sparsively (say 1969, 1975, 1981, 1988, 1994, 2000, 2010, 2016) would we be in a much better position? Decades of nothing (including 1965-1986 no finals) could crumble a lot of clubs. Maybe if we had won a few more, we’d be more secure, membership and financial-wise. If the so called “big” clubs like Carlton and Essendon had gone through what we had, maybe they’d be the ones struggling for survival.

Well that stinks I’m working then

Anyone having trouble registering for the grand final? It keeps sending me to Collingbog and Richmond game

I have a close friend who’s not going. Not sure if I can convince him to share the barcode because he may be fearful that he won’t get the Gf if we make it

Younger brother is going. He’s crazy. Even asking to borrow money from me. I’m sure if he doesn’t get a ticket to the GF if we make it, he’ll be at the “G” willing to pay over a thousand

He said at the start of the Geelong game that he hates both teams

This has been my theme song for this

Would be something. So tired of hearing the tired old line “when was your last premiership.”

Ok, all wrapped in my demons jumper and going to get a good nights sleep. Great win. Night guyz. We did it!

What was with Jetta? Nothing serious obviously

Much as I loved going last week. Definite advantage to stay at home though. At least won’t be asleep at 1:30.

My best friend has to wear my demons jumper tomorrow. I’m sleeping in it tonight though. Bet he tries to find some excuse
