Vale Wayniac

[_Mike_]

It is with sadness that I post member wayniac has unexpectedly passed away.

Some of you may have met him at the Player Sponsors/Sutton medal nights, he could be combative in posting here but was a dedicated supporter of the Dogs & loved the club.

Wayne and I went to the 16 Grand Final with his wife Linda, we’d been to quite a few prelim losses and at least he got to see one in his life. Wayne as a Doggies supporter through his life after landing ashore from Leeds in the UK. We'd occasionally trundle out to games at the Western Oval, Optus, Colonial/Etihad/Marvel/MCG. Wayne was a good bloke outside of the bigfooty world and leaves behind his wife Linda, two sons, and a few grand-bubs & he will be missed by many

Vale wayniac always a Doggies supporter & a friend!

Sorry to hear that we have lost a Bulldogs supporter. I didn't know Wayniac all that much but sincerest condolences to his family.

so sad to hear this news.
We butted heads a fair bit , but we were Bulldog brothers after all , so always respectful.
RIP my old combatant.

Very sorry to hear this. We had many disagreements on the US thread, in particular. But I have no doubt he was a good bloke and sorry to hear you have lost a friend Mike.

That is very sad to hear. Always posted from his heart and loved the Dogs. Condolences to all who knew him.

So sad to read this - I met him at the b&f a few years ago and he was a lovely bloke. May he RIP

Mrs dw and I met Wayniac and his wife as we four emerged from Spotless Stadium triumphant after the 2016 PF. Had a good yarn with them on the train to Campbelltown as they prepared for the long drive back to Geelong.

Didn’t always agree with wayniac but enjoyed his posts. No doubting his passion (anyone who drives to Sydney from Geelong for a game is a committed supporter!) and his intelligence. Seemed like a very decent bloke.

RIP. Too young to be departing.
Condolences to his family if anyone is in touch or is attending the funeral.

Well this is a shock, I met Wayniac at a B&F, and he kindly drove me back to Geelong to my car. He was very much a doggie through and through, and I enjoyed reading his opinions, even though our politics could differ.

RIP Wayniac. Condolences to his family.

RIP Wayne. Was a great poster with great stories and an interesting history. Saddened.

Thank you for your contributions on here and for your unwavering support for the Bulldogs Wayniac. My condolences to all of Wayne's family and friends. Thanks for letting us know _Mike_ . Sad news indeed.

I'm sad to hear this Mike, my sympathy to you and all Wayniac's friends and family. It's good that he got to see 2016 after being a long term supporter.

I was just looking at some of his posts and can relate to this one as I always regret going to see Pink Floyd in 1971. Wasn't greatly into concert going then. I'll have a listen to this concert in his honour.

54 years ago I took a girlfriend to see Pink Floyd. After 10 minutes she said "don't like this band, let's leave". So we did and I didn't score score with her.

She was big into the Jackson 5, ergo, I don't like Michael J or his brothers/sisters.

Edit:

Someone bootlegged the concert.



She's still a Facebook friend and is quite ashamed at her teenybopper taste at the time.

Such a shock. You couldn’t ignore that Wayniac poster, something to say… even if it ruffled feathers. His charm included that, didn’t it? All Loved the Dogs like few others. I feel sad for him going and my thoughts are with his family.

 

[Ted's Robot]

Sorry to hear this. From what I remember he was one of the good guys. RIP Wayne.

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

So sorry to hear this. I had no idea he was from Leeds, like myself. Wish I’d known and had a chat to him about that. Condolences to his family. Rest in peace.
