What if next year you win a premiership and SDK celebrates with TDK?

this guy on the left?

TBH if we win the premiership next year and half the team leaves I'd probably be ok with it

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

He’s celebrating with his brother ffs.
Nothing at all wrong with it.

 

[My Tilly]

Ollie and Tom would make your best 22? Who comes out?

Henry would be a better fit than Miers.
I think Tom would be a handy replacement for Stanley as he may have one more year left.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Richmond and Dogs.
I honestly feel with your over 30 year olds this was last roll of dice and run out of petrol tickets early next season and probably not make top six.
So glad for the older ones that nailed it whilst they still could.

With all honesty how many times do we have to hear this?

It’s literally the same conversation every single year.

This is it.
Players will retire and move on and your list will be younger in 2024 for sure.

Roaming Brian interviewed SDK inside the Carlton rooms after a victory earlier this year. Just a close family.

I dunno, there is a sister in the pics that looks similar age to them.

From memory both parents had 4 each from previous marriages and 3 together. These three (including Sam & Tom) are the youngest. All are pretty close though. Don't quote me on exact figures but something like that.

We are really struggling for things to be outraged about with this. As a Carlton fan I'd be more disappointed if he didn't want to celebrate with his brother.

The question is how will they feel when TDK is lining up for us?

You don't want that

That makes sense as the brother between Tom and Sam looks quite a bit older than those two and the sister on the other side.

I hope they aren't from Tasmania

 

[Power Raid]

Footy is an entertainment organisation these days

So it isn't surprising to see a player from another franchise enjoying a brother's success at another franchise

 

[Jeremias]

No issue with it whatsoever.

It would be weirder if he wasn't there celebrating.

 

[Headless]

Was great to see.

 

[Checkered]

God this is a weird thing to complain about

I'll be fine with it if we get Billie Smedts in return.

Am I the only one who found this a little… weird?

I get he’s excited for his brother and wants to congratulate him, obviously.

But… he’s also a professional footballer for an opposition club. Jumping on the ground and celebrating with the cup? It struck me as bizarre and perhaps a little misguided. I get a quick embrace and all that, and proper celebrations in private… but this seemed a bit unprofessional for me.

Anybody agree? Or am I being a bit knobhead Kane Cornes here?

In a moment of joy, finding error.

You, BM, are a sad little person.

Nah, I’m bigger than you. And I’m quite happy.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Send him packing. Disloyal flog.

Can't win a clearance either.

 

[master bate]

There were far too many people on the ground.

It seem to escalate with Hawthorn discovering they had children in the crowd during their run of flags. Then to make it more practical the wives would go out on the ground. Now we've got family. It's getting very close American level nonsense of thousands of people out on the ground.

If you keep it to the players only and a select few others you then allow all the fans in attendance to feel special as the players come around.

The way it's going is that the fans left in the seats will be wondering why they can't be out there on the field again.

 

[Osho]

Sadness is happiness to the miserable.

Thinking your big is evidence of smallness.

 

[Rod Stroker]

One of the more petty grievances I've read on here. FFS.

He's just experienced what it feels like to win a premiership through his brother. Could provide him with additional motivation to want to get there himself. I don't see any downside.

 

[Rockford]

What reaction were you expecting from TDK? Should he not have attended at all? Should he have stood in the background scowling? I'd have no issue with it if the situation was reversed.

 

[PhatBoy]

This is it.
Players will retire and move on and your list will be younger in 2024 for sure.

But we’ve been hearing ‘this is it’ since Ablett left at the end of 2010. Isn’t it just easier to wait and see what happens?

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Thought it was hilarious, they were loving it. Who knows, it might spur Carlton's De Koning on to want to be the one holding the cup next?

B2B Cats? I like it.
