Go Lions

I only watched a few minutes of the second quarter where Collingwood appeared to have a couple of team members in yellow shirts so I gave it away and went back to work building my new dryblower.

Sad night for the pies.

Bloody Fitzroy beat us again.

My daughter, an avid Pies fan, went to the match. Her seat was only 8 rows from the top of the stand, row GG  or something, which makes it about 33 rows from the front. The stand is so steep, it is like climbing a ladder. She was buggered when she got there, then almost had a panic attack looking down at the ground. A very disappointed fan. I get buggered climbing the six steps at our back door.

Well done Lions (Brisbane / Fitzroy);  great mauling play.  Next year should make it 3 in a row. 🦁

I wouldn't want to be Piloting the planes taking some of those supporters back to BNE.  Nev

Or be cabin crew if there is turbulence.  Players flight is covered as they have the cup in the cabin so room if required.

Thank God it's over for the year. I'm sick of having to babysit her dog that suffers separation disorder. Now I have to wait for next week and the NRL grand final. She's also a mad Storm supporter. Then there's AFLW, although the Pies got thrashed on Friday. Next weekend she'll be stuck in front of the TV watching Bathhurst and the Singapore F1 GP practice, quali and race.

 

Standby for the cricket season. Shoulda been a boy.

I surprised you didn't go to the Fitzroy catchup with the players, you could have got some selfies to put on the forum 😁🙃🦁🏆

I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in footy. I don't even watch it on the TV.

Some of the Lions players are pilots so part of our aviation tribe.

On the subject of the GF.

 

When students at Warringa Park School, Werribee South, heard that Snoop Dogg was coming to Melbourne, they invited him to come to their school. What began as a long-shot Instagram post turned into something unforgettable — that dream came true.
Snoop arrived at the Werribee South campus, joined the students in the studio, and recorded vocals for their track. He even took time to write his own lyrics, record in one take, and celebrate with our school community.

 

Many people criticised his choice by the AFL, but he seems like a cool guy.

Don't get the Idea I'm a football fanatic. This match was only the second one I've watched in a lifetime. I've Lived In (near) Melbourne since April 1965 and It's almost compulsory to support SOMEONE AFL. Quite a Nice bunch of Players I reckon. It's very much a Dollars thing though. (Like everything). I have no desire to Leave Victoria, though MANY love to HATE it.   EXPANSION is ONE of our Problems. GO AWAY, it's full and horrible anyhow. Nev

I'm not a footy fanatic but from where I sit on my computer on the dining table I can see and hear the TV and in-house commentary. She's an Eagle supporter but nobody would admit to that right now so she barracks for the Dockers until they fall over, from then on it's the Queensland teams because that's where I originate from 😁

Was a good GF win by the Lions... 

 

Didn't really care who won, but put a few £ on the Lions as the odds were too good and the Cats suffer the ame problem as the Hawks - only one or two decent midfielders - problem is the Cats midfielders are better than the Hawks. 

 

Taking the partner to a fancy local restaurant with the proceeds (building up brownie points for flying again).

 

BTW, Jeremy Cameron copped a broken arm in a clash with fellow team mate Patrick Dangerfield (who really lives up to his surname). Yet he played out the rest of the game (if 17 minutes on the bench is playing out the game). Laid a great tackle that stopped an almost certain Brisbane score. Imagine a player in the "beautiful game" putting on that sort of bravery.

Same here unless Collingwood is winning.

Another end of season and I can see it coming, our Samsung smart TV is facing separation anxiety 🤪
