looks like the heat is on for the bombers viewers...surely this cannot go on much longer. taught a lesson by the hawks after a competitive first quarter which created the illusion that this would be a cracking game well maybe for the hawks but not for essendon. and yes the buddy returned to fine form booting eight goals and reminding us what a superstar he can be. i do like the friday night footy. after a busy week at work dealing with students which for most of the time are receptive and pleasant the couch is my time out place where i can relax in my tracky daks and pull on my pink uggies. a place where i can shout at the TV and pace up and down willing the time clock to go down when it is a thriller...hee,hee!!!
some of my requests were honoured. the crows were beaten which kept one young boy happy although i have to admit watching footy with a ten year old is not always a fun filled experience. the crows kicked themselves out of the game and were hampered once again by injury with jenkins going down. it was not surprising to later find out he had broken his ankle. you could see it on his face, that was a face in extreme pain. frankly the dockers got away with a win but will have to pull their socks up if they expect to be competitive come finals time because that effort certainly won't cut it...
those pesky blues keep hanging in there and the fact that they won only served to increase the pressure upon PORT. i went to that game as i usually do with lovie and son number two in tow. son number one is not a footy fan but i won't hold that against him. in fact it has gone in my favour. for the privilege of using the computer while we cheer at the footy i get all the vacuuming done, the dishes washed and the clothes hung out...GOAL scored...LOL!!!
but seriously viewers as much as i love my lovie and adore son number two they can stress me out when we are at the game. one thing is certain. i am definitely one of the loudest supporters, yep that voice of mine could almost break glass and i use it to positive effect. my final take on the match is simply this. we deserved that win, jonathon brown was gifted that goal and the last quarter had all of us shouting in indignation at some of the rubbish umpiring decisions. it was a gutsy, gritty win that last year we would have thrown in the towel and lost but i am grateful. and yes i wont be using the F word just yet, still too many games left that could add some unexpected twists. but watch out coz the SHOWDOWN is always a big game and my request is for a repeat win!!!
my lovely guest tipster managed six fom nine which is fair and i give thanks to all my guest tipsters who have contributed to my blog so far. i will be scouting for a new one for round 19 so if you're keen put up your hand. and i will be staying up for footy classified tonight curious to find out all the gossip and controversy. and hey who knows maybe one team will get the golden ticket compliments of the bombers who were truly detonated on friday night. over and out. lakanorch FFFXXX.
