I'm still wearing by jumper...its been washed...To Eagles fans! I hope you celebrated in style!
I remember when Essendon won in 2000, we went to Crown and there was a VJay party, so they were playing a heap of 90s shoegaze/rock music near the sports bar on a big screen, the club itself had red and black across the signs and roof, it was mostly empty, but a heap of Essendon supporters still in their team colours, mostly 20s, early 30s, jumping a long and dancing un-self consciously to the music. Good times! Everyone felt as cool as it gets.
This was back before social media and when Melbourne was almost empty compared to these days.
It's great to win a premiership but it's even better to experience it with other fans using music and fun and drinking. Honestly, that's what it's about.
A lot of people are locked or stuck into their stressful jobs and stuck at home or can't make the effort to really celebrate, so kudos to those who can get the most out of the win with class! That's half of the fun of it.
I'll be wearing it for weeks...
