Kudos to Clint for keeping his sh*t together during that piece. 😆

If we win and at the age of 65, I'm going to do it.  Will I need a general anaesthestic?   I have a very low pain threshold

Do it!!! Your age doesn’t mean a thing. As for pain, a little discomfort is what it is. Look at it this way… it’s a drop in the ocean compared to the pain you’ve experienced as a Dees fan. 😉

This is why Matthews wouldn't let the Lions players [censored] in December. 

Don’t know how he policed that. 🤔

If you want something dark/ haunting/ depressing but beautiful look up a Band called None. Listen to the self titled or a world dead and grey. 

Boy, you weren’t kidding when you said dark, haunting and depressing. Nor were you kidding when you said beautiful. 🙂

Yes

You’re right. You know I love you. That’s all that matters. 😊

Good to see unlike the Adelaide game, when the cats player thumped the ball into the stand, 3 of our players aggressively appealed for the 50.

Great point! That’s what you wanna see.

I am sorry to break this to you guys. Jayden was my favourite player a few years ago, but us gingers must unite. Clarry is my favourite now by a long long way.

I still love Hunt though. And Eddy Langdon is definitely a favourite as well. 

Another ginger over here. I’m all for ginger unity but I don’t think I could ever love Clarrie the most. There’s just something about him. In any guernsey other than ours I feel like he’d annoy the crap outta me.

Love Jayden. Again, there’s something about him, but in a good way. 😁

Let's be clear here WCW. I hate tattoos any size and any reason. 

So I should cancel my appointment to get this tattoo?…

A couple of lads and I went to the Dees v Crows game in Adelaide this season, you can tell from the state we were in that we ended up having a kebab after the game. While we were waiting for the worst kebab in the southern hemisphere I looked over and was aghast to see the local lads lining up for a stamp. No doubt to commemorate the win for the evening.

 

Fitting name.

So we want to look like Collingwood and Richmond supporters do we?

Taking yourself very low IMO.

We’re not talking full sleeve tattoos or full legs etc. According to my hipster son, the totally in thing is getting little individual tattoos, usually colourful and not screaming “I’ve done time!” A great example of this is Tom Liberatore. And Josh Bruce being another. Yes, Libba jnr’s tatts aren’t the best but that style is what’s trending right now.

I wanna get something like this on my inner forearm…

this is a rough idea (spacing is all wrong etc.) but it’s along those lines.

Haha!! I was in a pretty dark place when I made this!

I was kinda expecting some Marilyn Manson or Slipknot in there. 😄

When he kicks a goal, the oppo fans call out "Spargo, you're another ducker", so I suppose he must be.

(I think that's what they're saying.)

Autocorrect is a spectator at our matches?

I hate to brag. But I made a better version. I just haven't updated it since 2019..

https://t.co/VXbAxVuh0z?amp=1

OMG. Did you make this? It’s so good. Insanely good. Great choice and placement of music, too. Rage Against The Machine and at the end, Johnny Cash’s Nine Inch Nails cover. Perfect. 
Please, please post it again if/when you update it. And thank you. Coz since Saturday night  it’s been like a good 3-4 hours since I last cried for this club and I felt something was amiss. 😊

Everything! That’s what’s wrong!

Heads up… long-ar*se post incoming!

Peeps might wanna put the kettle on. Or pour a nice glass of red…

I was born in 1964 (195 days before the grannie). My family migrated to Aus from Ireland in 1970. My siblings (lots of em coz Irish Catholics 😉) and I hated it here as we had no friends. After our first day of school in Australia my older brother told us if we wanted to make friends we simply HAD to follow footy. He said it was imperative for survival in this new country (he was right!). Because our ship had docked on 29 Sept, grand final day, and Carlton had won, he decided that’s who we should barrack for. The rest of us younger kids blindly followed. 

And so it was. A family of diehard Blues supporters. My brothers and I went to every Carlton home and away match every Saturday arvo. But early on, something strange happened: this team called Melbourne kept catching my eye (and soon enough my heart). For years I was in denial. I thought I barracked for the Blues. I was a member, I went to countless finals including the GFs of ‘79, ‘81 and ‘82. I had a duffel coat with Bruce (11) Doull on the back. But one can only lie to oneself for so long. I knew it was Melbourne that I loved but didn’t have the heart to tell my older brother, whom I adored. I knew it would break his old dark navy blue heart to know that my heart was beating true for the red and the blue. 😞 In 2000 my brother tragically passed away. It was then, and only then that I came out of the closet as a Dees gal, which I was all along, only nobody knew. Upon hearing it though, and in hindsight, a lot of friends and family were like, oh that makes sense, thought you were a little too keen on your ‘second team.’ Another of my brothers said he wasn’t surprised since he’d never seen someone so happy to see an oppo team’s player win a Brownlow (Brian Wilson, 1982). 😁

Anyways, that’s the story of my undying love for the greatest footy club in the world, ever. Ever. Since the dawning of mankind and even a little before that. ❤️💙

Just remembered this one time when my parents, who were by no means interested in footy, saw Stynesie on TV and since he’s a Dubliner too, were instantly enamoured by him. My dad said “I don’t know why you barrack for Carlton. You should be barracking for the team that this man plays for.” And I thought, if only you knew!

With thanks to Bluelegs over on Bigfooty, nice job!

 

Thank you sooooo much, IHW! This is awesome. I especially love the K-Rock commentary; they didn’t even bother to hide their chagrin for Guthrie and Close. 😆

Jayden is your, @Jadedand my favourite player (well for me equal #1 with Salem). 

It strikes me as unusual (in a nice way) that we, the three most frequent female posters on DL have him at the top. 

Desperately hoping we stay in finals long enough for him to get back.

That is interesting. Especially since Salem is my very close second favourite.

I love Steven May. He’s a quality person.

Great article. Thank you for posting. He is now officially my favourite player (soz Jayden). 😁

This is a true story

 

I was 5 years old at the time and I reckon I knew way more about footy then than I do now.  A pure fanatic at a young age.  Obsessed with the game

Anyway, when the final siren went in that '64 GF I was devastated.  The premiership was wrenched away from me in the final moments.  I couldn't believe it as I felt sure that my team was going to win!

The following year I was given a complete Demons outfit for my 6th birthday and once again, I was devastated!  How could my own family do this to me!* This team had just beaten my team in last years GF!

A week after my 6th birthday the Demons won and I was a demon for life.  Didn't take long to switch. 2 weeks later we beat the Pies and I was joyous

A few weeks after that the club sacked Norm Smith but I was way too young to understand the impact of it all

 

 

 

*There was no way that I was going to be allowed to be a Pies supporter in my family (big family, nearly all Fitzroy supporters and they hated Collingwood with a passion)

I love this story, Macca!

And how good is this thread?!

Loving all these precious memories being shared. ❤️💙

I just saw on the news May saying what he said to Max just before he lined up to take the shot. He said, “we’ve got your back. No matter what happens, we love you.” 💕

If Franklin gets picked then the AA process is flawed and is simply grown men getting together at playtime talking about their favourite players. 

It makes a great story… his ninth AA and he’ll likely kick his 1000th. The press love that sh*t.

Not sure if mentioned, but Hamish McLachlan’s call at the end of the game was brilliant.

And he barracks for Geelong, right?
