Nice Story - Footy Day

[percolator]

I thought I’d share this story, one of the grandparents of my students used to be a player in the 84,85 grand finals. He is very involved in his grandkids lives (ripper bloke) and knew I was a die hard Essendon supporter. For footy day, he let me wear the 84,85 grand final medals.

After all the ■■■■ that has been happening over the past 20 years, it was a reminder to have a bit pride in our club. This is exactly the motivation I needed to get back a sense of optimism. I love this club and have no doubt we will be back to the glory days!!!

Go the ■■■■■■■ dons!!!

I am wearing them with ■■■■■■■ pride I tell you that much.

The sights those medallions would have seen on those two September evenings….

Can I have the freddo frogs?

Oh far out that is AWESOME!

Lucky you!

I turned 18 in 84 also, best year of my life.

I’d be too scared of losing them.

I thought nice EFC stories were banned.

My kid tripped a hawks supporter at school, then told me”I did it for you dad”.

And that player is….

@Klawdy

I’d be too scared of losing them.

Or having the AFL retrospectively award them to Brereton
