Absolute BS

All but two of the players either shook hands or patted the kids on the head. Bont and Roughy were particularly caring.

Matty Boyd was def one who didn't and maybe libba, but don't let the facts get in the way of a good story
Talking about the Eagles. Bulldogs were quite thoughtful.

Who gives a toss?

I was half-expecting the OP to be Perthboy86. I think there are still a few Eagles supporters who are very salty about being the first victims of the Bulldogs' premiership campaign.

You're a good club. You still have one more flag than the much older Western Bulldogs.

Its awkward no one realised Easton Wood is the premiership captain and not Bob Murphy, come to think of it I'm not sure anyone knows who Easton Wood is, maybe a porn star?
Agree, Wood was the Captain on the day and throughout the finals and for the majority of the season (apart from the first 3 games and when he was injured) so he should've been allowed to address the crowd. The only benefit for him is that he'll be recognized in the history books as being the Captain of the side and listed along with the other 21 players as being premiership players.

the kids giving the medals and receiving the hats will not give a toss as you all will know. kids are gracious in their own gorgeous way.

some of the best moments are when the kids hand the medal and get a little bit flustered about receiving the hat. likewise the player giving the
hat when he bends his head for the medal. It is something that means so much to both people and well I am absolutely chuffed to see it happen.

Nah. The kids shouldn't be up there.

There's a mega thread on the very subject somewhere here.

You'd be surprised how many people don't want the kiddies on gf day.

only measuring on field contributions = know nothing about footy clubs.
Fair enough, but it's hard to see from the outside that his carrying on was justified. Other players missed out to.

Other than being inspirational, what did he do? I guess we'll find out in the days to come.

I'm actually embarrassed to keep posting about this, I look pretty petty and stalkerish in retrospect, arguing with people :/

well I thought so myself and having gone through it for three yars, I kind of wondered. but then I see it is not about kids or players but
a bit of scenery.

I wonder about those who miss out or those who might feel that they aren't counted or else that it is a bit superficial.

but then I thought that it matters to people who want it to matter to them. choose only those who are kick ass fans and get them involved.

some of us/you already have these moments to remember but we are trying to do it better. include everyone in every way possible.

You would be surprised at what matters to the average person... small things matter... ;)

1) once the final siren went off the wb trainers ran on field and didn't get any hugs/only hugged other trainers

2) bevridge awkwardly stands and claps behind bob murphy + wb captain holding the cup

3) not shaking hands of children during medal presentation

4) in the gf press conference the chairman said he would have been on the stage regardless of whether bevo invited him (rude)

5) bob murphy in the circle where they sang the wb song and ling Jong and other wb watched.

6) bob murphy interview on ground went for shorter than expected the interview said well there you go a 1 sentence interview + struggling to come out words to describe

7) beveridge got Gatorade tipped on his head he would have been sticky and cold for whole time

8) bob murphy constant double fist pump. Every single time not one handed always double handed

9) beveridge speech dunno which one but he seemed awkward and had trouble forming words

10) dog players missing parade

11) Dennis committee with the other commentator (one who loves Rioli) seemed like they would kiss

12) idk about this one but wb celebrating their win on like town square 3 people jumped in the air like they won the thing. Just seemed funny on the screen

13) That after siren miss. So anti climatic

14) the two police offers sandwiching a footballers mum loled hard seemed over the top

15) The chairman of wb seemed emotionless (a stretch this one.)

16) love brian taylor but the transition from dennis committe and the other deep voice dude that called the gf was funny. Went from deep dull voice to over the top high

17) Easton wood who is he? (literal got bob took all the spotlight). I'll be honest didn't know who the captain of wb was.

No I don't hate Western Bulldogs just couldn't find any Sydney ones cos I didn't care about them.


dis is what I mean the double handle fist pump every single time.
You have a very different perception of football to most people.
