Fev ensures Blues (and their flag) are flying
Quote:
Flanders, was at the MCG on Saturday and was of course delighted with the win, but when he got home he didn't get a chance to return the flag to its rightful spot and was planning to first thing yesterday morning. But before he could do so, at about nine o'clock, there was a knock on the door and when he answered it a bloke whom he didn't instantly recognise greeted him asking, "Hey, do you think we played well enough to warrant you putting the flag up again?" Flanders' heart missed a beat when he realised who it was — it was the big Fev

There is no-one in football like Fev, even the media are starting to realize he is the biggest name in football (in Victoria at least). :wink:

He went away pretty happy that I said hokely-dokely I'd be putting it up straight away-dadily didly, which I did, and it will hang there proudly for the entire week dadily-doodly, hopefully even longer dokely-dongler."

Easy Fevs, I think he's suggesting he'll fly the flag after a Carlton win, thereby he's declaring his wishes for more wins from the boys. :P

Agreed! I'll wear my carlton singlet one day a week regardless of win/lose/draw. It's about pride!

(and then people think I'm on the bandwagon when we happen to win...)
