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.
London, September 1987 Pre internet, WWW and email. Got footy vision by someone taping ABCs Drew and Tim and airmailing it to nearby backpacker Aussie pub in Kangaroo Valley. Met fellow Dee, same passion - ? Rob Davis - this was 87.
Last two years we’ve Hannan, Fritsch and Spargo come from nowhere Is there another one to surprise. Is Preus Pedo 2.0 - just another North delisting? can Frost play forward?
Can we get KELLY next year?
What’s the back six look like now? hard to find spot for KK. Jetta OMac Salem Hibberd May Lever Lewis/KK/Hunt/Frost
Anyone who thinks multiple lower picks equal a High first rounder - remember the Greg Wells deal
Look for another Kareer
This has “go home factor”, Freo, Mitch Clark and 11 th hour surprise destination all over it Next he’ll be unboxing new Nikon
Maybe get Jesse back in two seasons a la Trent Croad
Ya but i own it
I barracked for Hawthorn then. Swapped to Melbourne mid 65
Like freakin stock brokers - wanna churn, churn, churn - end up with nothing, “but we’re active in trade week” No gonads to hold for long term.
Forward line with TMac, Weid, Hogan and lurking Fritsch/Hannan/Milky/Spargo - in front of our emerging midfield bears serious thinking.
Was his first game a night match against Essendon? Think he kicked a goal. Think we won. Think it might have been Jeremy Howe first game also.
Think I read it in THE AGE - contradicted Nesbitt. Hard to see them being team mates. McLeod/Edwards - google
Given Gus"s response in media today maybe leave Gaff alone. Couldn't imagine any Petracca- like chin tickling between Gus and Gaff. Then, those two Crows hated each other.
Nat Jones and JLT out of contract end 2019. Bernie and Pedo this year. Ballic gone. Does this leave a possible massive war chest to chase S May or Josh Kelly- or both?
Wrong Happened on footy oval during game. Let Christian deal with it. Not.
What if the punch killed the kid? still 6 to 8?
