Were you not old enough for 1995?

I went to that one, certainly cried. (at home)

nah I was 4 years old in 1995 and not yet a bluebagger

 

[Shell]

I cried after 1984, and 2008, different reasons though,

I didnt get very emotional after 2007. Maybe when I saw my mum at Fed Square after the game.. that was about it really. Probably due to the margin. The prelim the week before was the heart stopper.

How did you choose Carlton living all the way over there??

I should have been an Essendon supporter really.

 

[Gough]

Immigrant kids whose parents are clueless about footy can make odd choices. Thankfully I got lucky.

You would be surprised how many West Australians don't support either of the local teams.

Immigrant family with no footy interest so I was left to my own devices.

All my schoolmates followed eagles or dockers so I wanted to be different.

watched footy as a neutral and loved kouta & skinny lappin. wrote a letter to Carlton informing them of my support, they sent me back a bunch of posters and stickers, been a bluebagger ever since.

Can relate except with Bombers. My first game was actually an Essendon one and we lost.

And lol that is cute.

Teams can be pretty good. My friend was a life long Fitzroy supporter and changed to Brisbane after the merge. I bought him a Brisbane card for his birthday and sent it to the football club, asking them if they could sign it for him and send it back. They did.

Adelaide Oval has brought a whole lot of non Crows/Port fans out of the woodwork. Football Park was such a horrible place to go to it just wasn't worth the effort.

I was stunned at the state of Subiaco when I went there several years ago. Stunned.

We also lost.

Sometimes they're really shit. HBF's Nana turned 100 a couple of years ago and is a lifelong Bombers fan. HBF's sister bought her a card and asked Essendon players to sign it and they refused

That does suck.

Every time I've approached Geelong players (retired ones too- met Gary Ablett Snr!!!! I almost died... -insert terrible joke here)... anyway... yeah they've all been pretty good.

I met Peter Riccardi at LOTI after the Crows game. He looks the same as when he played.

PS. BALKS- he doesn't care if the ball was touched.

Gary Ablett Jnr was really kind and recorded a super funny video for my cousin's 21st last year.

I got Snr to sign my cap. And then I got Jnr's too. Missed out on the "trifecta" tho.

I think clubs have become more aware of these sort of things turning up on eBay, which I'm sure Nana wouldn't have done, it's a sad sign of the times.

Michael Long was at the table next to me when I was on my date last week. I got to shake his hand

cool story right!?

got no idea why he was on crutches though

 

[Shell]

I ripped Wayne Carey's ticket at the movies.

And no that's not a euphemism.

 

[Smoooothy]

i once crossed a street with Andrew McLeod. must have been a pretty good day for him

 

[Shell]

I swam next to Matthew Lloyd. At Windy Hill.

I beat his brains out too at swimming. (Lloyd not that guy)

Ashley Sampi could frequently be spotted around the Perth CBD, spitting everywhere and usually with a beer and/or ciggie in his hand

 

[BotsMaster]

When Pods got carted off, and then Krakouer converted, I was on top of the world...

I've previously posted a pic of how my day ended

When someone told me Geelong were 15 points up in the 4th quarter it put a huge smile on my face and from then on, I was the happiest person at the wedding I was attending .

Not surprising, LLoyd is better at diving than swimming.
