Don't want, (or need) to start a new thread - still want to post it though

It was our captain's 31st birthday yesterday. It looks like the club forgot all about it, since there's no mention of it on the Pies' website, Twitter or Facebook pages! Hope they finally notice and at least say something in the next day or so!!

No. He shall remain 30 forever and play in 10 premierships. Never speak of this again...

Does anyone know what happened to Collingwood selling VFL merch? Was really hoping to get my hands on the jumpers they wore this year but it doesn't appear to be selling them

Anyone know where I can get my hands on them? Surely there's some out back @ the Holden Center?

I've got to say, I'm not enjoying this new theme for BF on my phone. I like to see the number of pages per thread when I'm on the board, the alerts of "do you want to like this" are annoying. I'm sure some of this can be configured, but geez I can't be stuffed.

Bucks, you have my permission not to tag Mitchell this year.

Who’s going to rack up 30 ineffectual possies a game for the Hawks this year?
Who in the whole competition will step up and impress the scumpires with said ineffectual possies?
Makes the whole season very interesting.

To be fair it’s more like 30 a half, against us.

When do tickets for the 2019 season go on sale? Thinking about going to another interstate game this season and would like to start planning.

I'm a born and bred Pies man who now has a beautiful little girl... 10 months on and to help put her to sleep, I've started singing the Carlton theme song to her because it is the slowest, dullest, most uninspiring song I know. Works like a charm. 100% success rate. But my partner thinks I'm subliminally turning my daughter into a Carlton supporter. The thought horrifies me, so any advice on avoiding that tragic outcome and still ensuring a sound sleep would be most welcome.

Regards

The Collingwood theme song;
It’s not really that bad but could be a sleep inducer as well....

Advance Australia fair. There is a reason nobody sings the secong verse. You would fall asleep involuntarily in the first stanza.

I reckon whatever national anthem we had, we’d find it pretty dull.
It’s in our natures.

Only sounds good when winnng gold at an olympics.

I do think girt is an underappreciated word and should be used in general conversation at every opportunity.

Eg: the stable was girt with carrots...
Not all Of them orange.

I don’t want to damage the child, but you could show her images of Stephen Kernahan and John Elliott, as a means of ensuring not the slightest attachment to Carlton.

Then again, at night, it could cause nightmares.

They mostly come out at night.

Mostly.

Like ponies.

We will shoot; they shoot those Mounties.

Mounties would girt and shoot.

Cruelty.

Children have come out of the Dickens world, not good to bring them back there.

I can't help but sing it with gusto, sadly. And I bop instead of rock her when singing our theme song. Not sleep inducing...

This worked. Although, I nearly lost her when I reached the 'girt by sea' line and started chuckling.

I appreciate the thought, but I couldn't, in good conscience, subject my daughter to such horror. I'm pretty certain it contravenes a Geneva Convention somewhere...

The great irony about the blandish word “girt” is it actually is a proper description of being surrounded.

Just sounds so bland and mawkish.
