Footyballs saddest day in VFA/VFL/AFL/AFLW history

 

[Hamingja]

I was looking for famous things that happened on this sad day in history.

On this day in 1493, Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, sailing near the Dominican Republic, sees three “mermaids”–in reality manatees–and describes them as “not half as beautiful as they are painted.”

Seems like something TGO would say

Getting the ass from 360 must've sucked all the life out of him. A sad day.

Getting the ass from 360 must've sucked all the life out of him. A sad day.

Think his health was a major factor

 

[hawkman]

"Robbo was a talented centre half-forward growing up in Bendigo playing for Sandhurst before moving to Melbourne where he played for West Preston in the Diamond Valley League and North Old Boys in the amateurs. (He also coached for two seasons at NOBs).

What was obvious to football fans when they bailed him up was Robbo knew exactly what they were saying about their team. He was a footy junkie, he watched everything, eight games a week for 13 years as the chief writer because he knew to do the job right it had to be that way."

was it obvious??

It was on in the background as he was sinking the last ones in the slab

 

[The Sultan]

Has to quickly check the news I thought TGO had shuffled off this motal coil…

But I rejoice in the fact that he has told the heathen Rupert to GAGF…

Apologies for my lack of faith in further reflection I realise TGO would not just shuffle off…. he’d crash and burn with a chicken kebab with extra garlic sauce in one hand, a jimmy can in the other (and a full one in the back pocket) and sucking on a Winnie blue.

There's a mist over Broadway
Breathing cool sheets of rain
Lights his last cigarette and
Turns his back to the wind

She says baby I don't know
Just how to explain
And I can't see the sense
And I can't play this game
But he's not even listening
He stares at the ground
And she won't ever know
What was on his mind

Well now he's a rebel without a cause
Hey c'mon let's make a deal
See your name in lights just like TGO
Live and die behind the wheel

Opened out on the highway
Leaving her far behind
There's a star down on sunset
He says yeah this one's mine

She says baby I don't know
Just how to explain
And I can't see the sense
And I can't play this game
But he's not even listening
He stares at the ground
And she won't ever know
What was on his mind

Well now he's a rebel without a cause
Hey c'mon let's make a deal
See your name in lights just like TGO
Live and die behind the wheel
Well now Mr R whispered in his ear
Hey c'mon let's make a deal
Engines running hot singing TGO
Any time there's time to kill

He drove like a demon
And he burned up the screen
But he never looked back no
She just wasted my time

Well now he's a rebel without a cause
Hey c'mon let's make a deal
See your name in lights just like TGO
Live and die behind the wheel
Gonna let those horses loose again
Hey c'mon let's make a deal
See them running wild just like TGO
Overdrive in chrome and steel
Hey c'mon
Hey c'mon let's make a deal
Well now he's a rebel without a cause
Live and die behind the wheel

 

[sosos]

There'll never be another like him. Following the footy will not be the same.

I feel bereft.

 

[Cleavy]

Is News Ltd going to get serious and give us a TGO tribute poster? Who do we need to contact?

This has killed me. Robbo leaning over the side shouting ‘a MERMAID, Gerard! A MERMAID!’ as a dugong swims off
