Last week, our Dad passed into our Lord’s presence.

He jokingly referred to himself as the 80% man, but in reality, he was the sort of the person who would run towards the fire; a man I trusted with my life.

@LBD2016CG @westernbulldogs Right back at you 🏆

It felt like this day would never come. 10 years ago today; 62 years after the last one. Finally, it was our turn for a flag!

Tears of joy then. Tears of thankfulness today for the memories made with Dad.

And as he said after the win, “they can never take this away from us”.

QLD and WA folk experiencing typical mid-season weather at the Western Oval on the 10 year anniversary of our Flag seems almost poetic 👀

@PrinceImp1877 Libba looks like a ravenous Italian Marx Brother here 😂

The fumes from this Prelim Final victory (and those glorious four weeks) have sustained me for a decade now. The blessing of sharing it with Dad will never, ever be lost on me.

Happy Anniversary to those who celebrate.

@JohnM57657360 You were in good company! 🥹

@lukeboicos Dad and I took the Woody Express from the WO and back. Unforgettable.

@Robynlloyd01 @PrinceImp1877 🥹 I love this story. It felt like we were floating on air, didn’t it? Dad and I floated over to the 40M mark where Jack kicked THAT goal. And some guys took some selfies with my Dad, thinking he was Mick Malthouse. So he’s in a heap of pics on a whole bunch of phones too 🤣

@PrinceImp1877 His grin when the siren went 😂

@MapleDogs82 Cannot argue with this 👏🏼

@PrinceImp1877 The Lamentations-esque “How LONG?!” pleas as the minutes ticked down are still ringing in my ears!

@PrinceImp1877 @SENSportsday Ditto. Dad and I floated back to the bus after standing for what felt like hours at THAT 40 metre mark, where Jack kicked THAT goal 🥹 Feels like yesterday.

[Carmen Petropulo @Mansfield_Petro]

@nicktruelson So true, Nick. It’s all starting to bode very well 😂

[Carmen Petropulo @Mansfield_Petro]

Remembering the last time a big name nominated the Dogs above all others. And remembering what happened within a matter of months against all odds 🏆

May this Butters appointment Boyd just as well for us…

Great advert for a daytime Grand Final…
