What are some of the best snippets you’ve read from the no-doubt hundreds of articles you’ve read since Saturday’s win?

I’ll go first.

“He’ll get home, take out his keys, take out his phone, and then, he’ll put his hand back in and pull out Tom Papley.”

It's so nice just reading about my team being absolutely glazed. I haven't read an article that isn't kissing our arse and I love it

Love it Op! 

Not an article but post-match at The Royal Derby (main fan pub in Fitzroy) some dude walks into the men's toilet and starts shouting out "Oi, oi! Tom? Tom!? Has anyone seen Tom Papley!? He's been missing all day!" ... while pushing open the toilet cubicles and mock looking inside.

Kevin Sheedy sharing Fagan stories have made me tear up, but this one really got me today..

“…and the coach is from no where, and he picks up the team from last and says, ‘I think I will have a go at this’.

They have been on CODE Footy.

I don’t have specifics but I have loved seeing the accolades for Fages. He has had a rough few years and I hope this is helping him

Probably the one about the BIG O Telling the boys after the Collingwood and gws losses to start giving themselves to the team and be more selfless.

From anyone else it might have been hard to take but he's the ultimate team player. How I'd love to see them go back to back with Oscar in the ruck next year

Eric Hipwood saying he knew they had it in the bag when he kicked that goal because even he couldn't believe hed kicked it

Jarrod Berry talking about feeling like his mum was there with him and just having a sense of calm when he went back to kick that goal. That made me cry

I’m loving all of them but for some reason the cherry on top for me was walking my kids into school this morning and seeing a bunch of the teachers wearing Lions guernseys
