FROM the COUCH…..post game wrap…round five…POWER vs WEST
COAST
OMG what can i say viewers?? are Essendon the real deal? ask
any Bombers supporter and you will get a resounding yes… i say maybe wait until
they come up against the pussycats and then make your assessment. three teams
five and zip…my predictions coming to fruition….am i the new footy psychic? do i have a crystal ball? do i have inside information? are my spycams
synchronised and delivering state of the art data??? LOL… well you will never
know, i will just keep it a secret!!! and to think that LOVIE had the audacity
to ask me if anyone even reads my stuff, to quote her…”I didn’t think you knew much about footy!!” Of course i don’t i told
her, i just make it up!!! Teehee, hee…how very dare she!!! i wasn’t the first
ruck in the all-girls Woodville high school footy team for nothing you know. and
to think i convinced her to change her tips…yes pick the bombers and the Dockers i said, yes indeedy i did...that’s a fact. well viewers if you followed her
recommendations for round five then you will also be 9 from 9 and bloody good
on ya.
i must say the
lady army plus three were in fine form. we have a little pre-game ritual now to
settle the nerves, a bit of gorging on some fine food, a few drinks, (this week’s
aperitif compliments of Paulie Pops… Frangelico and lime)…it worked, as the
Cravat would say, a marriage of flavours. well i am not sure i could say that
about the first half of footy i witnessed, not happy Jan. it appeared like the
honeymoon period was finally over… how exciting the first four weeks, the enthusiasm,
the anticipation like getting to know someone that you think is the bees knees, oohing and ahhing,
magnifying every great and spectacular thing they do. OMG they are soooo
amazing. you are riding the crest of the wave in la la fantasy land and then
right before your eyes they begin to do things that disappoint you or that you
don’t like and then the doubt begins to creep in…maybe they are not as good as
you thought they were and the mind games begin to play with your emotions!!! and you might even begin to start hating their guts because the pain of the
last two years begins to come flooding back…NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not me viewers as
the self- appointed captain of the lady army plus three it is my duty to be
calm and optimistic in the face of adversity demonstrating courage and
unrelenting belief…
however,the
reality was that we were outplayed, shut down and put under pressure and kudos
to Worsfold for masterminding the game plan….well until the last third of the
game because this is where all your stats, your sports science and organically
derived bovine placenta supplements and crystal placements on the chakra lines
get thrown by the wayside. what i am getting at viewers is that maybe it boils
down to pure guts, passion and desperation in the face of adversity. what
seemed like a lack of ignition was sparked by a gutsy and determined come
back…WOO HOOOOOOOO…how awesome to see those turbo boots get super charged. go Little Man ( Jake Neade)…what a speedy
dynamo!! forget about what ifs…forget about if they had only kicked straight,
forget about some of those suspect umpiring decisions, coz in the end the POWER
rose to the occasion and gave the supporters more to cheer about. and it ain’t
over till the fat lady sings and man she belted out her tune at the final siren. the lady army plus three were there to witness it with the bonus addition of
personally meeting our fine and upstanding president….(please refer to FB
photographic evidence) …LOL. until round six please check your supporter
wardrobe is in order. coming up soon… readers’ questions…my teams colours don’t
seem to suit my complexion. what should i do? any suggestions???
