    I explained & noticed he was attending with his son. We then pooled resources, bought a family ticket for $40 & both saved $10.

    I'm seriously thinking it has magical powers, please tell me it's so FDOTM!

        Do you mean the beard who teamed up with Ben Hudson for the 2009 season? I assumed Hall had found his own beard partner but if he were to team up with Hudson's beard the results could be amazing.

          Apparently the Beard (Ben's) has a relative from Northern Europe, real old school beard. Remembering that Valhalla was the drinking hall for Nordic Gods and brave warriors who died whilst in Berserker mode in the heat of sacking and pillaging most of Europe, this Blond Beard saw the chin of Barry Hall as the most logical place to join his distant red relative in once again instilling fear through the power of the facial follicle. Scrolling through the AFL tribunal results for that special combination of voracious violence and jutting jawline, one name kept reappearing to the Blond Beard time and again. After doing a quick Google photo search to ensure that the chin of Barry Hall was vacant and that Hall was physically of stature to to do the umost damage possible to appease the bloodlust within, the Blond Beard approached Hall during his most recent hooking hiatus and a deal was struck.
          The Blond Beard and Barry Hall would unite if Hall left his current club. This was mainly due to the Beards' distaste to battling for a standard that was basically sissy swan with a long scrawny neck, ideal for wringing. The Beard suggested getting in contact with his former commander, Rodney Eade to join his troops as he knew this would also solve the vexations of getting to play with his 'rang relo from Oz plus having the Proud Bulldog as the flag that rallies the team, beard and bloke alike.

          Now let us all hope that this paragraphs above can truly be true. Sort of, bits of it, you know what I mean?

            You forgot to mention that those magical powers enabled you to bump in to me at Etihad.

                Awesome origin story. Now we just need him to get a beard.

                      Did anyone see the TShirt appear on MTV? My daughter pointed it out to me, a WOOFER being interviewed.

                        I wear mine at least once or twice a week - it never fails to elicit a reaction.
                        Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                            NB, looking at a photo in today's paper, i see the beard lives on!

                            Was a big danger that he would be de-bearded for Hudson's wedding, but no!


                            Hooray!

                                Ordered the aqua "Chins without beards..." shirt today - when I read they have mystical powers it became an easy decision!

                                Will there be a wedding edition FDOTM?
