AFL Rd 17 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Fremantle

[ElwoodBlues1]

Late to the party and didn't see the game.

I was invited to a grass roots country football game. My recently deceased dad was a life member who'd filled every position from president to line marker, to water boy. He also played 400+ league games and coached juniors through to the league, winning multiple premierships.

To our surprise the club dedicated todays game to him. It will be an annual tribute match. All very moving for the family. He was such a humble man, we had no idea of the extent to which, he improved the on field performance and lives of so many people.

Arriving home to a big W v Dockers felt like a wonderful end to the weekend. The comments I've read so far are very encouraging, even heart-warming!
I can't wait to watch the replay.

Go Blues.

Sympathies on the loss of your father LN and he obviously passed on the love of the game to you and 400 games plus is a fair effort in any league and I cant remember what coach said the following but it was along the lines of the main role of any football club is to take in people and make them better people by the time they leave the club and your father sounds similar..
