    Was great to meet you too!

    Totally agree totally moving, I felt utterly exhausted at the end of it.

    No club in the universe is a club like ours.

        Just got back. It's definitely emotionally exhausting, if not without the limitless access or the characters that YOTD had. Still a must see.

            Haha - well that's a relief! Off to see it 2:30 today. Can't wait. I think I will pack extra tissues.

            Specifically, these ones!

              Loved every minute of it. Couldn't believe I was sitting there and tears were running down my cheeks.

                  Morning session was great even though the theatre was full. As I was coming out saw some assistant coaches going in to watch it - Rohan Smith, Hansen and a couple of other guys that I didn't recognise

                    Just came out of the 2.30 session - bawled like a baby. Thoroughly enjoyable.

                          Only 1, and mostly because I have a cold. :/ I think I have cried most of my Bulldogs' tears already!

                              I went to the 4.45 session and after the obligatory tears, went to the local Grill'd burger joint with a companion. As we entered the doors, I said to her "it would be good if Stringer got to see the film" (thinking it might convince him to stay), when lo and behold, there he was having a burger with a friend!

                              Am wondering now if he actually went to an earlier session after all. It certainly was an interesting spot to have something to eat given the proximity to the Sun Theatre and what was going on there on Friday.

                              When Jake left I mumbled something about him being the best number 9 to have played for the dogs....would have preferred to have said nothing after the HS article today.
