I hope to sit next to you in a winning final.
Ahhhh… The elusive dream…
and you too!
Over the past few years of utter misery this club has produced, one of the very few shining lights, has been coming on Blitz and getting @theDJR’s live VFL updates.
So genuinely, thank you for spending your time providing people with some joy each week. It will be missed next season, or whenever the VFL starts again.
Thanks @theDJR!!!
@Catherine_Lio @Paul_Cousins this is how supporters are feeling. The heart and soul of this club is walking away.
For the love of God get the message to the Board that the club MUST DO BETTER.
It’s all good. Like a good boomerang he will return.
@theDJR You can’t walk away from Blitz, you’ll be sorely missed for this…
And who is also going to remind us that the AFL doesn’t predetermine outcomes??
Concur.
DJR’s ace.
He makes blitz and the world a better place.
He’s forgiving when I’m off my face.
And has handled his role with charm and grace.
Based on the responses here we all know who is going to be the biggest loss to the Bombers. It’s certainly not Worsfold, McKenna or even TBC.
It’s @theDJR. Take care mate and please don’t be a stranger.
Will you look up from your phone to watch it this time?
(OK, it was pretty ■■■■ after that first minute when Joe marked at the highest point and slotted it to send us on an inevitable path to glory.)
Hahaha, we are so over with Worsfold that this thread is completely derailed.
Who’s Worsfold?
Good luck @theDJR, take it easy.
Mr R my friend, what’s the deal?
Are you not going to follow the senior team anymore? Is it because they suck, or you have just had enough, or another reason?
Hope you’re well. You’re a good egg
Thanks @theDJR especially for VFL commentary. One of the things that brought me to Blitz in the first place.
Oh, and well done on establishing Draper as #1 ruck even before he’d played his first game.
I should also share the only time I have met the great man.
Years ago we were in a elim final against Carlton. I don’t even remember the year anymore, they’ve all run together at this point.
Anyway - sitting top of the Northern Stand, about half way up. Heavily Carlton area. We were looking pretty good early in the first quarter. Someone kicked a big goal (can’t remember who). Well after the goal was kicked and everyone else had sat down this spindly looking bald guy in one of the front two rows stands up, turns backwards to face the bay and starts giving everyone the finger Mr Bean style. It was legit hilarious and riled a few people up. I remember thinking - that dude is the boss.
I think a day or so later I check Blitz and see a confession to this behaviour with all the same details from one Mr R. So good
I had a good excuse to be fair.
I’ll shout you a bucket of hot chips.

Ummm Paul hasn’t been on the board since the end of 2017… and since there’s been no VFL this year and likely won’t ever be again he’s probs in the same boat as @theDJR
You’ll do anything for your fix of HOT. CHIPS.

I don’t deny, but I also don’t remember, this… and oi, my spindly era pre-dated my balding by many years, so I’m guessing you don’t remember it faithfully either.
I do strenuously object to you saying I “confessed”. Fark Carlton!
