I like this suggestion....and reckon it is a fair chance of happening.
I'm really disappointed that I'll be in Tasmania and won't be able to make this game. Bob is one of my all time favourites and in a sport which can raise my stress levels to all time highs, whenever the ball is in Bob's hands I experience an amazing sense of calmness.
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

Something I have never forgotten. It happened at a intra Club practice match at Whitten Oval the first year Bob was drafted. All of a sudden during the last quarter this young fella who I later found out was Bob, who was off the ground, grabbed a microphone and started commentating on the game. I have never forgotten it. He was unique even then and of course still is. Congrats to Bob for reaching the 300 Club.

Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Elvis would come back for Bob, wouldn't he?

We should serenade Sir Robert with a rendition of the original song our club song is based on: "Sons of the sea... Bobbing up and down like this..."

Imagine a sea of red, white and blue doing that at Etihad. Magical.
Slight aside, but is there still a link to that video somewhere? I tried to find it a little while ago to show my bro-in-law (a fellow dog's supporter) who didn't believe such a thing existed!
Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell
Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath
And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!

My mates and i do this for a laugh all the time. If we are playing poorly its always "Look at him, he's all at sea." "BOBBING UP AND DOWN LIKE THIS"

I am so honoured to have gotten Bobs signature on my footy at the fan day at Whitten Oval in February. Glad I went to booth 11 that day where Bob was.
