Footyless
Being Footyless is not hard to explain
Truthfully I must admit
I think I’ve gone
Insane
No happiness, laughter
No suffering or pain
Just thoughts of Old Malthouse
and his almost finished reign.
My scarf hangs in my closet, my Collingwood jersey too
The flags stand beside them with nothing else to do.
First thing in the morning and the last thing I see
is the 2009 team poster
staring back at me.
Side by side now makes so much sense
As the players sit around Mick who doesn’t look so tense
A Premiership boys!
Is that too much to ask?
from skilled, talented players capable to fulfill the task
They get closer every year, how hard could it be?
Big Rusling up forward, if the choice was up to me.
Truthfully I can’t wait,
for another season to begin
A sealer from my Jack Anthony
Another Black and White win.
2010 the year for my Pies?
As much as I wish for that to come true
I will never get over
Grand final – 2002
When one is Footyless
There is not much to do
Go, watch some replays!
I bid you
Adieu.
Special thanks to Gigs for slaving over my work which needs to be constantly edited. lol

Status- looking at my house and other places on Google Earth. Michael’s house looks good.
STATUS- putting on makeup
status- just had a shower and I’ve been wearing only undies for the whole day.
thanks for that information Steve…
lol
status- still fixing makeup
Yeah not a bad piece Danni,
status- watching a Bulldogs-Essendon match from 2000.
Yeah it is toasty today, hopefully a cool change comes tomorrow.
Was that the one in Round 21, Damo?
No problem Danni, but its too hot to wear clothes, but of course im expected to wear at least undies
..Steve..please stop talking! lol
status- still fixing makeup
Yep that’s the one, the best part is the brawl at half time.
How long did it take to write this Danni?
By the way I agree 2009 was the best year of my life: I made it into the book, met you guys, Carlton made the finals and to top it all off Charlie Sheen was arrested.
status- still sunburnt on the neck
Steve, Danni said stop talking lol
Pardon my ignorance, but who is Charlie Sheen?
Im gonna have a go at writing a poem now while im waiting
The lead character of Two and a Half Men.
no! I refuse.
I better get dressed soon, my sister Laura and the italian will be here any minute
lol not very long Damo about 5-10 minutes.
it was just random i didnt plan on sitting down and writing one.
status- still the same as before
Maybe stay in what your wearing to make him feel welcomed. Actually you’d probably scare him away.
Does this make sense people?
Rule changes galore at the start,
Began many a spark.
Not to be pushed or touched after a mark,
Or you’ll hear a loud umpire bark.
hahahahh LOL Josh
Yeah, Laura (my Sister) will probably hate me forever.
I’ve got my Demons jumper on now, so ill probably scare him off anyway lol
Lol, point him to the posters of Jurrah on your wall and he’ll either be converted straight away or scared.
I might do a poem soon, im a really good poet.
lol yeah josh it makes sense
I’ve made poems since i was 5
nawww lol little Joshy
remember that poem I made about Collingwood?
How good was that Danni?
….the one about the hallowed turf??
no the one where you hated me, lol.
But yeah, that hallowed turf when was me at my finest
one*
status- strumming guitar
you play the guitar?
status- making a bit of paper with the italian flag on it.
no i dont play..i just pretend to. dnt worry ill send u pix
I wonder if Danni will have the honour of writing the last piece on this website for the decade.
I have an electric guitar even though I don’t play lol.
lol yerp thats me too Damo, mines electric and it just sits there..i play with it..but its just random
I just stuck the bit of paper on our door, along with another one that says “bonjourno” and its spelt wrong lol
jeez, Danni, your so rich, you get things you dont even need!
..im not rich!! the guitar was given to me from my uncle (the one who took me to the launch) lol steve what would you say if i told u i have 2 hair straighteners?
do your relatives just throw things at you Danni?
2 hair straightners? 2? Is one for the day and one for the night? Is one for straighting vertically and the other for straightening horizontally?
lol no he didnt throw it was went like this
Uncle- “do u want my guitar?”
me- “Okay..”
uncle- “ill bring it over 2mro”
me- “yay”
lol
no one is thinner the other is thicker
status- wearing tiara!!! feeling like a princess
Hahaha
does that have anything to do with the castle you live in?
lol,no
i love wearing tiaras!!!
i really do!!
:)
:D
I love wearing Demons jumper, which I am now! Go DEES!
Josh, go on messenger if you can buddy
u guys i swaer i look like a fairy princess! im just missing the wings
I look like Liam Jurrah, minus the skin, hair, footy boots, shorts, mouthguard and a footy in my hand, and his goal kicking ability is even better than mine (hahaha).
Sorry Steve, im getting dressed and leaving soon
Status – just found my v-neck shirt
lol im wearin a full on sparkly purple singlet and that bl;ack shirt tutu i bought b4 i had coffee the other day and my pink tiara!!
black skirt tutu
im gonna go to the city tonight
I can’t wait to go on my balcony tonight to see the fireworks.
Are you guys too old for fireworks?
No way, fireworks will always stun me.
Nah, no way, ill be seeing them in the city tonight.
Damo, can you speak italian?
..nope!! love em!! :)
lol steve im coming with u
I’m goin to the city too, Shepparton
really?
Shepparton is a city? What’s the biggest building? bookworld?
Good to see.
I can’t speak Italian fluently but I do know my fair share of words, do you need any help for tonight?
yeah, could you just give me some phrases like how are you, nice to see you, stuff like that?
status- practising royal wave
Come Ti Chiami? Mi Chamio Steve is how you introduce yourself. I used to know how to ask how old and stuff but forgotten.
Shepp is a city, sort of. Its probably a tiny bit smaller than Geelong. The biggest place would be either the strip club or the GV Hotel. But tonight, the biggest, noisest place will be my Uncle’s
These might help:
Quale squadre ti piace- Which team do you follow?
Ciao- Hello
Buona Sera- Good Evening
Come Stai- How are you?
Quanto tempo stai- How long are you here for?
Come era la cena- How is dinner?
And these are the responses to what you would get with Come Stai:
Sto Bene-Great
Non c’e Male-Not bad
Male-Bad
hahaha cheers Damo.
Have you been to the strip club Josh? haha just kidding
I’ve asked to go
thanks for the help, you guys. I don’t know a thing about Italian
JOSH!!!
DANNI!!!

Steve…hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha
hahahahahhahahahahahahaha
ahahahhahahahahahahhahahahaha
ahahhahahahahahahahahahhhahahah

Nah it’d be hotter with a Dees jumper
okay thats it!

seeya guys

You love it Danni
Bye, talk next year
Yeah, Danni, talking about girls in strip clubs isnt as bad as talking about having kids with all these footy players
Yeah
Btw Steve, arrive derci is goodbye.
Arrive Derci people
thanks for the words
Steve, I’ve put up your Boxing Day piece. Sorry about the delay but I did post it within 24 hours – not bad for me.
Josh, are you gonna answer my email?
Danni, I don’t have anything to say to you. Just didn’t want you to feel left out.
Gigs, when did you send this email? It sounds like its taken me a while to answer.
Happy New Year people
