I am literally sitting in the front row of the old Fitzroy Grandstand at the Brunswick Street Oval as I type this. Tomorrow we honour those players who helped us enjoy triple Premiership success.
10 years since we heard the call of "Back to Back to Back" I thought I would start this thread so we can share our Premiership memories.
I have a heap of them, that is for sure and sitting here right now reminds me of probably my favorite.
It's the morning after the day before and this place was pumping. As I walked up to the Brunswick Street Oval, it seemed that the first person I saw was Bulldog Murray himself, proud as punch he was, posing for photos with anyone and everyone.
Then we waited for the team to arrive. From memory, the bus couldn't get on the oval as someone had parked across the entry, bit foggy about those details exactly, but it was soon repaired and the boys were presented to what felt like a million fans.
Never felt pride in a team line that before. Was truly amazing.
I'll post some of my other memories later, but would certainly enjoy to hear others!
Win, lose or draw tomorrow, I'll be there, supporting the boys. I was hooked well and truly before any of those Premierships (hooked in about 1978 if I recall correctly). But what 2001-2002-2003 gave me was the reason I love this game, and the reason I stick by these guys when it is not going that great. It's the reason I chase the dream!!
