‘Get a dog up ya!’: Brisbane Lions star Cam Rayner’s father GOES OFF in wild celebrations

 Never underestimate the unbridled passion of a Queenslander. 

The sporting world got a taste of what winning means to those north of the border after Brisbane Lion Cam Rayner’s father was spotted going berserk in the sheds following the club’s epic win over the Melbourne Demons.

The Lions had not won an AFL finals match at the MCG since 2014 and were not given much hope of toppling the reigning premiers in their own backyard.

However after falling into a 22-point hole, the Lions flipped a switch and overran the Demons for an emphatic victory and a shot at reaching another grand final.

As Channel Seven reported Brian Taylor walked into the sheds to find a player to interview.

He was bemused by the sight of Rayner’s boilermaker father screaming his face off, finishing a string of bellowing celebrations with the very Queensland term: ‘get a dog up ya!’.

The term is inoffensive, simply being is a jovial instruction to take your alcoholic beverage and drink it in celebration.

A puzzled Taylor asked Lions star Daniel Rich who the flamboyant bloke celebrating in the middle of the sheds was. 

‘That’s Cam Rayner’s old man, bit of passion there,’ he said.

‘He loves it, big Johnny Raynor.’

 Rayner missed the elimination final win over Richmond through suspension and returned to play an important role in the win over the Demons with 12 possessions and five tackles.

It was a big night to celebrate for all players and fans of the Brisbane Lions and young star Darcy Wilmot took those celebrations to soaring new levels as well.

As the players were looking to return to the sheds, the 19-year-old was still furiously running along the boundary to celebrate with Lions fans and gee up the remaining Dees supporters.

Wilmot is rapidly emerging as one of the stories of the finals, playing in just his second ever AFL game and recording 15 disposals and four tackles in the huge win. 

‘It’s the best feeling I’ve ever had in my life,’ he told AFL.com.au.

‘To have it with the bunch of boys you work so hard with, it just means everything to us, the fans and our football club. It’s absolutely unreal. I can’t put it into words.

‘I just wanted to get out there and play footy. I love playing footy, so getting to play at the highest level was always my dream. It is my personality not to shy away and keep it simple. I knew what I had to do and just kept to it.

‘That (the goal) was unreal. I just tried to be really composed coming up to it, but as soon as I kicked it I turned and wanted to celebrate with my teammates. I heard someone say ‘Give it to the crowd’ so I got up and about. The crowd were unreal. I absolutely loved the atmosphere. You couldn’t dream about it.
