Mrs M and I have given up on the eldest. She's Swans so the boy goes for "Every team except the Swans and Roos". This year he's picked up how much I detest *Essendon, so he picks them whenever they're on the telly. At least I got to rub his face it in last week, the little shit.

My second is great though, she knows all the words to Join in the Chorus, and I'm sure to toss her a coin or chocolate every time she belts it out. She can't sit through a whole game, but she's heartbroken when we lose and joyous when we win.

Mrs M now claims that the littlest has to be a Swan, but we'll see how that pans out. He's got a vocabulary of about 3 words, yet can sing gangam style at the drop of a hat so I might get him to do the performing monkey trick with the north song too.

This is incomprehensible to me.

It's North or a life without shelter, food and water.

There can be only one...
I think he will be reasonable with this extension and if he becomes dominant after this extension then he gets what his performance dictates.

Maybe Sheeds is interested in Majak's hereto unforeseen talent as written about by Heath on the kangaroos iPhone app. Check the last para in the screen grab

I reckon if Majak was that way inclined there would definitely be some potent anal going on.

My son, aged 8, and I travelled from North Queensland to see the game against the Bulldogs. To see him rise to his feet, cheering for each goal and then to have him get stuck into me if I didn't rise to my feet for each goal was just brilliant!

But the best was when he spontaneously screamed "Baaaaall" and sure enough, the umpire awarded a free kick against the Dogs for holding the ball. I couldn't have been more proud!

And to see Majak kick 6 ... my son has Swallow's number on his jumper but declared on the way home that he still loves Swallow ... but wants 38 on his next jumper.

I"m fine with that.

When my kids have strayed or lost interest in following north Melbourne, i always come back at them that i will buy them a bummers membership.
Quite a few members of my family go for the bummers, so it's bit of a war.
That sends them into a rage of hatred and say please take me to the footy to watch the mighty Kangas .

I hope my story is similar when I take my 5 and 7 year old boys to the game tomorrow night, although they already know they are going and they both love Jack Zeibell.

Anyway great story, Majak Daw is the marketing dream we have been craving since Carey left us.

The smile on his face grew broader with every last quarter goal and I can still hear my sons words ringing in my ears at the end of the game “We smashed’em Dad, by 54 points!”
I know how he feels. I had a lazy $10 on Majak to kick the most goals @ $34. My smile grew broader with every last quarter goal too. :thumbsu:

Great story, we all have to do want we can to build our club membership, target 50,000.

I started to bring my girls, when they were around three, hard work to start with, but now my 16 year knows more about the club and players then I do.....I am a very happy man,
Heh, growing up I would always be asking "Dad, who's that?" "That's Byron Pickett son, absolute wrecking ball, tough as guts" "Oh. Who's that one?" "That's Mick Martyn. Scary lookin' fella isn't he?"

Now, it's "Who's that son?" "Will Sierakowski dad, used to be on Hawthorn's list" "oh right. Who's number 26 again?" "Taylor Hine, got him from the Suns".

Good story, good on Majak.

Bullshit.

If he's offered 700k a year by GWS he'll definately leave.
I reckon we should be getting the AFL to pay him a big whack as a multicultural ambassador bringing new people to the game type figure a la Karmichael Hunt and Izzy Folau.

The word is GWS want the AFL to pay half of Buddy's contract if they can land him.

I'm sure that will go down real well with Hawthorn supporters.

Its not about you.
Oh really Einstein

The racist issue is about everybody, everybody can be offended by a racist comment, even directed at a third party hence the Collingwood supporters reporting there own last year. Daisy Thomas was offended by comments as well and reported a guy at a game.
The AFL is calling on people themselves to report people and help stamp it out at the footy.

Would you be offended if you heard this comment was my point. l gave my answer, others as well knew what l meant.
