When your dear old Dad slung the PP attendant in the Heatley Stand so that I (as a schoolboy) could stand on the stairs right through the game.

You're a Carlton tragic when you choose to go to the round one game at the MCG instead of going away for a dirty weekend with a tasty blonde goddess.

To cap it off - she has told you if you don't front, don't bother calling again........ her loss - she could have joined us all in the blue army!

Not that old fat guy in who wore that Pork Pie Hat - the most cantakerous old fart I have ever met - you were never even allowed to stand on that first step - sheesh I was a short kid and my dad didn't have an endless supply of tomato boxes.

you take the laptop to the lavvy with you to read the latest TC postings about being a Carlton tragic

coz that was spent watching Rugby League! Why, oh why, did you pick Sydney instead of Melbourne when you came to Australia, Dad?!


You know, that was my first experience at [Product Name] Park .. I had just come in for the last game vDees and was standing at the top of the landing absorbing the atmosphere .. finally got to a club match at my personal Mecca and was just standing and absorbing (this was at about 10 or 11am! How tragic was I?!), when this dude (was it the fat pork-pie guy? I don't remember) came up to me and told me to take my seat .. what a memory!

I remember standing in the outer behind Peter McKenna (when he played for Carlton) who was about 65 metres out on the boundary kicking towards the Scoreboard goal.

A torpedo from the drop punt expert sailed straight thru the centre.

Memories are made of this.

If you've ever had a duffle coat and got your mum to sew the number of your favourite player on the back and stuck badges yourself all over the front
(mine was Ken 9 Hunter!)

My Brother once heard that Peter Dean was a local Plumber so he called up and paid for a plumber's visit to fix his perfectly working plumbing (and get a few autographs whilst he was there)

You have more posts on TC than on Nick's Online.

It's a Saturday afternoon.
Wife wants you and the kids out and the daughter decides that instead of going to the park you could drive to MC Labour park and watch a Bullants practice game.

We did
Wasn't bad. ( No score board operating. BARB kept most of us informed of the score by yelling it out)

Grabbed a few Autographs to make the kids smile. Thought, finally a #4 who can play!

Interesting observers. The ENTIRE Senior Coaching panel. and 5 - 6 players.

Roll on Tomorrow

THE BLUEBAGGER BEAST IS BAACKK!!

last year when I finished my exams early I wrote a list of all the numbers, players names and nick-names to pass the time

GREAT THREAD

....when you plan your trips back to Australia around home games at Telstra or any game at the MCG.
...when you fly from Mexico City to Melbourne with your wife to go to the last game at Princes park then you take the photos of the day in sepia for old times sake.
...when your wife is a member and she can't even speak English.
...when said wife knows the players by sight but not by name and has her own nickmanes for them (e.g. Whitnall is 'Archie' after the comic and Fevola is 'Rasta').)
...when you take your wife and mother-in-law to the footy (and the cricket) and spend the entire time trying to explain the game in Spanish without drawing attention to yourself.
...when you sit up until four in the morning listening on the internet to us getting thrashed just in case we do something great before the game ends.
....when your mother-in-law asks you in Spanish at breakfast if we won and how many goals Fevola kicked.
...when you wait four weeks for the DVD and then spend the entire week watching it even if we lose.
...when you wear your Carlton fightback teeshirt to the supermarket and hope people read it because 'club' and 'personal' are spelt the same in English and Spanish.
...when your brother goes to Cuba and you carry a box of footy stuff 10,000km from Oz to give to his guide just because he is a phys ed teacher.
...when you take a CFC footy jumper to Scotland for your newborn granddaughter knowing that her dad, (your son-in-law) is a mad Brisbane supporter (my gaughter is a Carlton supporter).
...when you listen on shortwave radio every week to Radio Australia to the VFL broadcast of the match of the day, interspersed by the Rugby League match of the day and the races, just to get a progress score on the Carlton game (my Dad in the 1940's-60's)

I was! I was there with my dad. I was also there the day Robbie Muir went troppo. And the day Leigh Matthews jumped into Kenny Hunter's back. And the day we kicked 13 goals in the second quarter against the Swans. I wasn't there on 01/08/1980, though, when the Buzz took THAT mark and kicked THAT goal. Pity. It's my birthday.
