Thanks. The decades and disappointment blend together ... Not sure who I’m thinking of now

Part of one of our better backlines with Ingo, Shanahan, Haydn Robbins

Don’t care for soccer either. Read ‘Sheilas, Wogs and Poofters” 5 changes since 1900 - hasn’t diminished support

Soccer has changed about 5 rules in 100 years

Ya, found by actress from Box Hill no less. Apology accepted. I mean no ill will to our Jesse other than I hope OMac gets 3 votes on him when play Freo.

That Hogan had very sad demise after promising early career. Still unsolved

Vic Park early 90s. Only kicked 2goals in last quarter. Sean Wight and Andy Lovell. Both in time on. Yarra Falls end. Got up by three points. Got out alive. Think it was last time we ever played there. Same same Carlton’s last ever game at Princes Park. Big Nick carried the ball off held high. We stil got the four points.

Don’t feel any sides are supersides this year. Top sides very even - down to one block, one mark, one kick - the season Ounce more “StKilda match” complacency and we’ll be ninth.

Two groups of Roo supporters at different gatherings - both down on Preuss going.

Maybe - and I’m hoping - baton was passed Weeks 1 and 2 September

Used to love DeeFlower here or Ology FanBoi too

Stuff Xmas, stuff eleven months - wish everyone prosperous SEPTEMBER

Viney run down and “spooking” a rampant Gunston. Resultant Coast to coast team goal - Melk, Spargo to ANB. Two goal turnaround. Used to happen TO us.

Barbers shop had one of those.

Play Wimbledon in Switzerland for Federer

I believe there be no more Drawn Grand Finals. Now extra time - like all other finals. That was snuck in with very little public discussion. Don’t see the issue with a replay given it’s a one in 40 year event.

There’s A Saturday in September unless you play all 3 on the last Saturday, Pies could quickly add to 26 lost GFs.

Another Americanism. Thanksgiving next.

Can recall every. Single. Season. Be fantastic when Carlton are wooden spooners there as well.

Lost Mitchell, Hannebery, Kennedy now in Selwood territory - occasional cameos. Jack OTW out Always uncover a gem from Riverina, but yeah, gotta do them twice

Miss the GF - hopefully watch the win on TV. Made same call on smaller scale this year - forgoing Week 1 for wedding in Canberra. Pretty sure we’d win when I knew I’d be away. Rather watch a win on TV than witness a loss

Interesting. Recall discussing same with Cat mate early 2000s. What would it be like? Last few years I’ve realised some lifelong ambitions - as the psychologists say - after a while you tend to incorporate them into everyday life. Like we catastrophize our losses and gloss over our successes. In life and football. Have Carlton mate - tells me he’s seen 8 flags - not doing so well in terms of relationships/bankruptcy/alcohol/institutions/ etc. I knew three Pie supporters who took their own lives, few years after 1990 break through. I feel a little cheated in footy terms cos I switched from Hawthorn in 1965. Meanwhile my Hawk brother cannot remember all the Premierships he’s seen. I think if we won I’d shed a tear for the young fella who trained it (Tait carriages) all over suburban Melbourne with 3KZ transistor and beanie to witness another thrashing. Geezus, my heart was pumping - as I listened here in Vietnam- as Dean Kent lined up in Perth.

Stood through many a late foggy winter afternoon at Junction Oval etc - last quarter both sides caked in mud and everyone wearing dark shorts. Never any problem distinguishing our boys from the not dissimilar attired “Maroons”. Current jumper is spot on and should never be changed. If we gotta concede to City Hall for away strip, Swoop Northey’s colour TV outfit will suffice. Always think of Robbie when Jones has it.
