I would like to say a huge thanks to all the Marinators that travelled down here to Adelaide. It was ssooooo cool to meet up and meet some of the die hard supporters and also some friends that we havent seen for 6 months.
The only noticable change was the fact that Mick had lost weight (well done mick)
apart from that...nothing has changed, Froggy still got escorted out by the Police (apparently some of his beer 'accidentally' went astray....into the red shirts below us) and sneaked back in 3 times hahahah Frog, you're a legend son!
I knew the first time I met Fish that although he was quietly 'lurking' in the background of the kendall bar in the very early days, he was indeed made of the right stuff to 'step up' for the Marinators and I gotta say, OUTSTANDING Marinator there! Very proud of you Fish.
DJ is (due to his heritage no doubt) a master of the 'nuances' of footy. He understands the game, the supporter culture (how it was and how it should be) and acts accordingly, not to mention his sublime skills of making up those witty chants.
All the others (Glen, HotDogs, Jimmy blue eyes and all the others) ended up having lots to drink and not only did it never get 'out of hand' , but it was indeed a pleasure to have you all here and you are all a credit to the yellow shirt!
it was only a shame that we didn't have time to show you a little more of our new city.
We are now REALLY looking forward to catching up again next week at the grand final.

Looking forward to next week Lou!
I was saying to Froggy on the plane that apart from the victory seeing the huge smiles on your boys faces made the trip so worth while!

"Who needs God when you've got Lawrie McKinna?"
Omni
Who seriously misses a prelimanary final to be in the house of God. Isn't God's whole angle Forgiveness. You can have sex with your brother's wife as long as you pray afterwards, that's how I interpret the new testament. So he definetely won't smite you for watching the Football. I wouldn't be worried about the big man upstairs, I'd be more worried about the big man here on Earth, AuburnMariner. He doesn't take kindly to part-time fans. An eternity in the fiery depths of hell is one thing, but imagine Big Dave jumping on you a few times. OUCH.
I just can't believe in a benevolent higher power. A malevolent overlord, maybe. That'd explain Ned Zelic, Lucifer's Lapdog. I've always wondered why he sports the same facial hair as the Prince of Darkness. I thought it was because he was gay, but instead it's because he's the embodiment of pure evil. No wonder Money picked him as Jets captain. "This is your captain speaking, we're gonna crash and burn. The good news is that we ordered 9000 parachutes. The bad news is they haven't been delivered because Con Constantine hasn't paid for them yet. This flying business is tricky. Co-Pilot Milicic? Do you think I should pull up?"
"No. Dive, dive, dive!!"
"I thought you might say that. If only we bought new Jets instead of these old and slow junk heaps."
I don't know how to end this stream of consciousness so I'll try by discussing the topic.
Great showing by the Yellow Fellows and Lasses who made their way south-west. Let's all show what it means to be a Mariner next Sunday when we take the short trip south to The Big Smog. Here's hoping that Sunday night/Monday morning we can leave Sydney not only with our respiratory systems intact but with the much sought after Gold Gilded Ring of Triumph the One Ring to Rule Them All.

Like the Simpsons when Homer skips church and dreams he meets God. God says, "You know Homer, sometimes I'd rather spend my Sundays watching football"

Lou you don't know how much we appreciated your hospitality over the weekend, and DJ was right, seeing how much the boys enjoyed it was a highlight, just a great atmosphere, and I couldn't think of any better blokes and girls to have shared it with, the girls could put a drink or 50 away!

As someone said, you have your heaven, I'll watch the preliminary final. It's not so much God I'd dissapoint but the band and the youth group, yea I'd be forgiven for missing church but I don't like letting people down.

With the pending birth of my new little girl(ultrasound today) that could possibly be my last trip away in the immediate future and to have in the memory bank standing on the top of the stand looking down at lou with a tear in the eyes consumed in what will be a turning point for the future of the club will do me for the rest of my life.Although I probably should have stopped before I kissed that security guard 7 months is a long time people
