[Vicky Park]

That's what I would do too. I gave my son one choice & one choice only.

Or I'll have to have you adopted out. Pack your bags. See ya. Simple.

Yep, me too.

One of my treasured memories when my daughter was young - I taught her to gag when saying the word ‘Carlton’.

We lived in the adjoining suburb and sometimes had to travel through Carlton. I’d give her the signal, and she’d gag. Such wonderful memories.

Damn, I wished I'd thought of that.

Love it when they are so easy to manipulate mines a teenager now, so he just does the opposite of everything I say now..

Still a mad Pie supporter though

Just watched the final quarter of last year's GF.
Sends the waves of happiness through your veins.
But also saw the grief, the disappointment, but the hard edged glint of revenge, in the faces of the Lions' players as they wilted to the ground.
Fagan just has to replay the last 5 minutes of the game to get the Lions' blood coarsing through the veins.

Hope the Lions can use the pain from last year to find a way to win tomorrow.

I have your book, Vicky's Way - The Lost Art of Child-rearing. It's magnificent.

Still a mad Pie supporter though

You did good and did it well. Bravo!

They looked much more relaxed this year in the parade than they did last year.

Guess we'll see if that means anything

Rampe on the other hand looked terrified..

2002 Grand Final on Fox Footy. Immediately changes the channel

Just started on 7…Surely last year should be replacing it!!!

But gee it’s so strange watching a completely different game with all the rule changes since.

Reality was if we’d stolen 2002 it would be one of the weakest premiership teams ever.

10 minutes in and Chris Tarrant has dropped 3 chest marks and we’ve surprisingly received a few free kicks!!!

 

[Looney]

Who's watching the 2002 replay hoping the results would be different this time?

 

[Zzorse]

I couldn't Bear it.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Who's watching the 2002 replay hoping the results would be different this time?

I am. But think I'll have to turn it off now...

the memories are flooding back.

And noticing how there are no deliberate out of bounds is driving me crazy

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

For all those watching the marathon, this will make you feel better..

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

And this

 

[NMBB]

Seems like yesterday. 27 fecking points at 3 quarter time.

"Mathematically" worse than 1970 (44 points in front at halftime) - same opposition coach each time

 

[NMBB]

I’ll never understand how a family can have one kid who barracks for Carlton.

Can’t they just give the kid away?

Ever tried giving away stale, burnt toast? People have standards...

 

[NMBB]

That's what I would do too. I gave my son one choice & one choice only.

Or I'll have to have you adopted out. Pack your bags. See ya. Simple.

On the way back from hospital did a lap of Vic Park with newborn son in capsule. Upon arriving home his cot was "pre-decorated" in black and white - words were not necessary

 

[Kes1984]

I’ll take the extra two but we talking Night finals GFs too?

Oh did I miscount. Thought 8 losses and the draw. Let me check!

 

[Kes1984]

Oh did I miscount. Thought 8 losses and the draw. Let me check!

No definitely 8 losses and the draw before we won again.


1960
1964
1966
1970
1977 draw then loss
1979
1980
1981

So yeah. I’m now quite thankful I was born in 1984 after reviewing that. I’m also feeling very sorry for my dad who was born in 1953 and only 5 when they won in 58, who then sat through all those!!

 

[Tadpole]

I hope they double it

I hope they never win another in my lifetime.

 

[NMBB]

No definitely 8 losses and the draw before we won again.

Those of us in the same boat bear the emotional scars with honour, bravery and courage....

I gave my then girlfriend (now my wife) no choice. She had to barrack for Collingwood (over Carlton) or no one at all. My daughter however, automatic Collingwood selection

 

[Anzacday]

I have to have something to hang my (non-existent) hat on for the next year.

We will still be the reigning Victorian Premiers, (no political reference intended)

 

[Tadpole]

None inferred.

My boy didn't have a choice - it was support Collingwood or go play tiddlywinks.

 

[JuniorB]

And this

Unforgettable!
Losing Pants in his prime the following year set us back for a long time.

 

[JuniorB]

We lose our little cup logo today.
