Who fanned the fire that burnt out the Roos last time? Clive.
Who brought the phrase "packing himself" back into common parlance after that game, in his fantastic post-match interview? Clive.
Who has been tied to the back of the footy gods' ute and taken for an arse-stinging ride over the salt plains of destiny? Clive.
Who has been dealt more rough blows than Mike Tyson's girlfriends but still looks like he'd be up for a quick trip to Timezone for a few post-surgical games of Galaga? Clive.
Who are we gonna win this game for?
You got that right, brothers and sisters! Clive came back to us against the Roos and ran around like a speed-addled rat, bringing us sweet sweet victory. Now Clive is taken away from us, again as we face the Roos, and karma, kizmet, coincidence and fate are all lined up to tell us one happy happy thing.
The Kangas will be caned for Clive.
Even Mick Malthouse agrees.

With the mention of Clive as the architect, I started to wonder what other occupations we have on board at Purple HQ...
The Dealer (Andrew Browne with an "E")
The Optometrist (Daniel Haines with an "EYE")
The Philosopher (Roger Hayden with a "WHY?")
The Dictionary (Luke WEBSTER)
The Hairdresser (Greg EdgeCOMBe)
The Dentist (Robert HadDRILL)
What a wonderful selection of purple brains we have!
Are there any others that spring to mind...

Where's your wheelie bin, lemon? Yeah, it was young Chicks-Dig-Him Sinclair.
Clive, not known for any temperate thoughts - let alone modesty - said "Jess was put on me and he must have been packing himself."
Given that Chicks-Dig-Him would have seen Clive's antics up close and personal, you wonder why exactly. It's not like he had to shower with him after the game.

Mman - I'm a little naive - could you fill me in with the "even malthouse agrees".

wheelie bin to jail of course. i was at the north game and i was packing myself too when clive ran on. he looked very similar to a dog let out of a car after a five hour trip. if he had a tail he would have chased it and we can thank the good lord he can't reach his balls.

Mish, also officially on the bus is Vic Premier Steve Bracks.
Now Bracksy is a pretty dull greyish sort of a bloke and he supports Geelong, but he knows a bit about winning against the odds. Perhaps he can sense that, just like the day he came from nowhere to flog Kennett, the purple (or red and white this week) train is on track and chugging along nicely to steamroll those dirty Kangas.
Everyone join in now: I think we can, I think we can, I think we can, I KNOW we can, I KNOW we can ....
And I am going to immediately start work on my "Kangas Caned For Clive" dockerland banner.

Well, as a few of the posters here understand,
The Chugs did it for Clive - 12 wins in a row, baby
I think JFK gave his life for Clive.
Mahatma Ghandi? Clive.
The Titanic sank so that Clive may prosper.
Think about it people, It's all about Clive.

The latest from the FFC medicos:
Its not OP - it looks like the evil Professor McKenna has tried to bring Order to Clive by making Him run in straight lines all season. This has drained the Chaotic fluids in His groin area. Clive is going to operate on Himself as only He can restore the levels of Chaos to His vortex and His whorls.
He is patiently waiting for the planets to dealign, then the operation can begin.
99 games and waiting...

I've been thinking about this all weekend Weegiedock, and I think I have something. Why, with all the talent at our club, if we don't make the finals, we could always move to the country and start afresh.
We've already got the appropriate area, (Des HeadLAND) and of course the architect who doubles as our place of residence (Clive WaterHOUSE). Then, we've got those quick pigs running around (Ben CUNNINGHAM) which need tending to, and who better by than our man in charge of the whole lot, (Jeff FARMER). And if the place ever needs repairing, we've got the tools of the trade (Byron ScHAMMER, Robert HadDRILL) and the man to do the job, (Aaron HANDYMAN...) who will get there by (Trent cROAD).
Then there's the Chef, (Troy COOK), the guy to let everyone know dinner's ready (Peter BELL), the chauffeur (Matthew CARr), the official Rooster Call (Ryan CROWley) and the crazy wolfman/monkey boy/dwarf who'll we'll send in to stir up trouble (Paul Medhurst)
Have I gone too far?

After reading about the bummers dedicating the rest of the season for Rama, I think Freo should dedicate the rest of the season to Clive he has been to hell and back with injuries and the death of his dad and he has stuck by us. Come on Dockers do it for Clive
