“I copped a lot of sh&t last year, I have a right to celebrate as long as I want” - me

“Eye roll*” - wife

Also "we may never see it happen again."

And if you get accused of being overly dramatic, you simply need to point to St Kilda.

I copped a bit of flak in Sydney the other week for wearing my Lions clobber the whole time I was there... Was worth every second.

I’ve always been a humble person. I’ll never give sh&t to a Sydney supporter but after the crap I got last year from Collingwood and non Collingwood friends… I’ll f$&king celebrate this grand final for as long as I want haha

I was 16, 17, 18 when we did the 3 peat. Loved it but didn’t quite appreciate it. But this.. 2024… was the fu&king best. So many stories involved.

We did it boys and girls!!!!!! We f$&king did it!!!

 

[SeaOfFire]

I mean, really....

.....how good is it.....

....to watch this and reflect.....

on everything about everything ahaha

Hi5

 

[SeaOfFire]

I've said it for as long as ever....

The Lions chant IS the MCG.

You don't have BIRDS at a COLOSSEUM, NOR OTHER SUCH MEANINGLESS CHAFF.

YOU GO TO A COLOSSEUM TO SEE LIONS EAT THINGS.

When this happens, things are cool.

Peace

14 minutes in, first quarter....

Join in the chant

My 6 year son was diagnosed with cancer in May, and my wife and I spent 1 month in Ronald McDonald house going over to QCH where he was getting treatment. Fair to say it's been a tough year, and we are still going through regular chemo 9 months later. I feel like I'm only now, after watching this video,appreciating the amazing effort from the team and coaches to win this premiership. What a fantastic effort, GO LIONS!!

Hang in there mate, there’s always hope.
As a teenager my brother went through 2 years of chemo, radio and whatever else they could throw at him, and came close to the end a few times. At 19 years he had a bone marrow transplant. Next year he celebrates his 61st birthday (his 40th, and his 21st since he got a new DNA). Positive outlook, and believe in your doctors.

Next year I’ll be running the Melbourne Marathon for ACRF.

Life is so unfair. Chemo is bloody awful but it can work - I'm still here thanks to it.

Hold your son and the rest of the he family tight, even amidst this year there will be moments of love, connection and happiness that you can cherish forever.

Each week myself and whoever was taking me would dress in random fancy dress costumes. I chose to commit the fun of that to my memory and we still share those memories. Chemo? What chemo?

All the best, hope the chemo kicks arse.

She should do the montages for Fox Footy.

She should do the montages for Fox Footy.

Speaking of, the Fox Footy montage after our prelim still gives me goosebumps.



I’m so keen to continue to hoover up every bit of lions content until I die. I hope they make a documentary on this.

They absolutely have to tbh. It is one of the greatest story arcs you'll ever see in sport. From 2016's low to the Lions appointing a guy who never played AFL, to the rise, to the 2023 GF loss, to the Hawks saga, to the injuries, culminating in a finals series consisting of a historic 60-0 lead in the qualifying final, the biggest finals comeback in history, one of the truly great prelims, to Oscar's Guernsey hanging up, leading to a dominant GF win. Record breaking and storylines everywhere. Will never happen again.

Was doom scrolling when I thought I’d check out this thread…. But just want to say that my thoughts are with you and your family. I can’t imagine being in your position, and I’m glad that the Lions were able to bring a little bit of light for you in such a trying year. I wish all the best for your young man, that the chemo is effective and you all have a wonderful and healthy Christmas.

All the best for the future.
