When quizzed by his mother why he wasn't taking his water bottle into his classroom like all the others, he melted down and said he didn't want his class mates to know he went for Carlton! :-[ :-[
(his water bottle is a charlie's crew bottle with his name on it!)
That's why I want wins on the board more than anything!!!!
Kids can be cruel.
My youngest chose the Dawks, in the late 90s and early 00s he was the one and only Dawks supporter at his primary school of about 800 kids. On footy day each month kids from one of the winning teams would get to sing their club theme song dressed in club colours at assembly. He had to do that solo, rarely given how ordinary they were through that period, but he did it from about Grade 2 onwards getting some extra support as the years progressed. He copped a heap of flack, of course that is what kids do, but he stuck to his guns and it didn't go unnoticed by the staff. By the time he was Grade 6 the school ended up making him sports captain.
Look who is laughing now!
