The Tale of Burley
As you may or may not know, last weeks Freo game against the Bwissie Lions was the Paterson’s Guide Dog Game.
Anyway, they had a competition to name three puppies, and I was one of the lucky winners: I suggested the name “Burley” for Luke McPharlin’s puppy. It’s a long story, but basically the name came to me in a dream, so I am some kind of crazy soothsaying psychic.
So, Lou and I got to go to a corporate function before the game, have an excellent lunch, tank up on free booze, and generally run amok with the VIPs.
Then we got ushered down to the oval at about 1.45 for a puppy presentation and a quick interview with that uber-hack Orion from 92.9.
Standing on the oval was a very bizarre and surreal experience. Not something you get to do every day. Luckily we had my dad’s digicam, so we were able to document the moment for your enjoyment.
If you are lucky you will be able to check our photos here.
(If the interweb decides that it won’t let you see the pics, I will sort something out next week.)
Oh yeah, and the Dockers crushed the Lions like BUGS. All in all a pretty mintox day.
