round 11...to indoctrinate or not to indoctrinate???


well almost exactly half way through the season and thankfully we have a bye, some time to recover, regroup and rethink. i have communicated my thoughts/feelings to the team and hopefully they will pull their fingers out...god forbid should they lose to GWS, i can't even contemplate that  (now that would be an absolute footy nightmare!!!) and am not sure i will even be able to watch the game but somehow i am sure to come up with a solution to face this fear.
to indoctrinate or not to indoctrinate??? that is my big question for this week...and mm, i have had a 50% success rate in regard to my two sons. of course with son number one i went outta my way, yes outta my way to set him upon the path of the POWER. beanie, bib, tv replays, jumpsuit but to no avail. with son number two i just kind of forgot about it and let him decide for himself, although after last week he is threatening to defect. if i have my way there will be none of that!!! and speaking of son number two who has become quite the football enthusiast and frequent user of my iphone AFL app he has requested to be my guest tipster. and how can a mum say no to her enthusiastic nine year old?
      son number two is nine years of age. he is a keen footy enthusiast and accompanies the lady army to the home games. he barracks for port, freo but likes the cats and the swans too. he can get quite emotional and has taken to calling the umpires a cyclops. and using a few choice words which i actively discourage. however one cannot cover their ears during the games and control what is being said, seriously some of those supporters need their mouths washed out with soap, srumtibillo as us croats would say (and in english it simply means shame on you god knows i heard that enough during my childhood...hee,hee) but now i am rather fond of  it.
     so here are his tips for round 11. the bombers, cats, sydney, north melbourne, wet coast and collingwood. he was going to tip carlton but i kind of influenced him there. so if your team is not playing. which game will be the match of this round for you? personally it will be the crows vs the swans for me. i am almost tempted to go and watch it myself all in the name of footy research of course. i cannot divulge my secret fantasy coz i kind of believe in footy karma. so let's see if they are really in the hunt for the top eight or will they be the ones who have their feathers truly plucked?
