Re: 2016 AFL Grand Final Thread - Western Bulldogs V Sydney Swans
I'm afraid to say the grand final was a bitter sweet victory for me – my Swans supporting father was at home watching the game, and had a fatal heart attack. I was at a BBQ watching the game and found out after full time.
A very strange, sad day.

Nothing but love to your family mate.
Re: 2016 AFL Grand Final Thread - Western Bulldogs V Sydney Swans
Sorry DR that is devastating and I can only imagine what those close to him are going through. My thoughts go out to you and your family.
Re: 2016 AFL Grand Final Thread - Western Bulldogs V Sydney Swans
Thanks for the very kind posts here.
My father was on his way out mentally and physically, and seriously there are worse ways to go out than while watching your team in a grand final.
On a brighter note, I'm enjoying wandering around Sydney in my Doggies gear.
Fantastic win and finals series. I've followed the Dogs for 18 years and no other Dogs teams I've seen plays such a hard edged finals style. No chokers there. No weak links.
