i think i will be getting served a noise violation by the council...yes after the screaming, jumping up and down at the TV, not just by me but son number two who had one eye on the game and the other on my iphone app ( dockers were playing the saints) plus you can add lovie to the mix who strangely becomes more vocal behind four walls than out in the field. but we didn't care and man it looked like we just exploded in the last quarter only to become undone by our goal shooting inaccuracy. and yes there are some who are complaining that hey it wasn't good enough but srum te billo to them. in fact make that a double srum te billo ( which translated means shame on you) for crying out aloud, look how far these young guns have come? and yes dennis cometti (whom i very much respect and prefer to listen to when it comes to the footy commentary) was singing their praises yet again on triple m. and take note, yes viewers pay attention...he used the word REBUILDING, got it? because obviously some of the supporters still haven't. don't get me wrong the bombers outplayed us in the second with their stun bomb that seemed to nullify us into zilch. but this team of ours is beginning to demonstrate that they have it in them to soldier on and really not taking it entirely away from essendon, we lost that game... nine behinds a lesson that must be paid attention to. and no point in worrying about what should have, could have, would have...it just wasn't. and seriously i sometimes should take my own advice!!! however, i am still curious to know what the eventual findings and penalties will be should the bombers be found guilty. regardless, they have brought the game down and will be tainted by a cloud of doubt. and perhaps only because they happen to be the ones who have been caught. who knows what really goes on in the football world behind closed doors? one things for sure we certainly weren't on any performance enhancing drugs, hee,hee!!! but let me not go there again. i will wait for the final outcome.
my tipping was fair, six from nine, considering some of them were winners. yes i tipped the roos but what was i thinking when it came to carlton? basically they are pretty much finished. and those damn CROWS let me down by totally losing it in the last 5 mins. i watched that game and watched sanderson standing on the sidelines wondering what on earth he was doing because in the end i bet he wished he stayed in the coaches box. just goes to show it aint over till the fat lady sings. i suspect some will get a blasting for looking like they were on a lazy sunday afternoon stroll when they should have been chasing hard at the ball until the dying seconds. to be fair there were some terrible umpiring decisons, one high tackle that was missed that surely would have granted the CROWS a buffer goal but it wasn't to be.
another game which i happened to watch was the GWS and bulldogs and boy would those doggies be breathing a sigh of relief to just get over the line. a convincing win it was not. another loss to GWS which would be more heartbreaking than demoralising i suspect. and yes the pussycats clawed their way to a ten point victory over the hawks whom i fancied as one of the flag favourites but now am not so sure. in fact i am not really entirely sure about the finals now. the tigers were declawed and freo were another team to win but not in a convincing fashion that you would be backing them for a grandfinal berth at this stage.
all i know for sure right now is that my active loungeroom supporting is a great way to burn off a few extra calories. especially after friday nights birthday feast and lovies palachinka which were to die for. and any of you non-ethnic people who do not know what palachinka are, well they are basically baked panckes in cream ( add lemon and cream cheese to that)...so from my calculations i should still be running around the footy field for another three hours, six minutes and twenty seven seconds!!! and rumour has it that lovie is bringing some over for the kids tonight so it is time for me to make an exit viewers before i put my training regime into jeopardy. it seems to me that i always seem to pick the most inopportune times to begin a health kick. but if you didn't know folks it is dry july so i have an excuse up my sleeve and i do take my training seriously even though some of my methods may appear suspect, hee hee. because just like the clubs who aspire to win the coveted premiership cup, i have a few aspirations of my own. so best to stop being distracted and get on with it. and until the next round may you embrace the health benefits of active supporting. remember all that fist punching, getting out of your seat, running to the TV, it all counts!!!
Much love and laughter, FFFXXX
