blah,blah,blah,blah....blah dee blah blah...selfish, ill conceived, how many times do i have to say it? and yes even dr.reid raised his concerns but if anyone hit the nail on the head it was listening to the distraught mother of an essendon player...two words she said... morals and ethics, mm, yes to those who may well think you are too high and mighty put those back into your vocabulary. and one last but crucial point...would they have injected their own children? don't think so and with that i will let you gain all you need to know by reading the paper and listening to the radio because like most people i am pretty much over it now and not happy that is has become a huge distraction to the season. and we are still yet to know the finals outcome...will they or won't they? i don't care. i just want those damn bombers to shove some firecrackers up their ass if they have to and play for some pride and knock off the blues this round as a favour to...mm, let me see... now which team would i be thinking about??? hee,hee.
holy footballs i don't mean to get ahead of myself but already the word is in the air...it could come down to round 23 but personally i think they should just stop the season immediately and give the top eight an extra two weeks to prepare. friggin footballs i dare not want to think about it but one of my colleagues raised it at school today...raised the topic of finals. i say we are in with a chance against freo and should not be underestimated. however, i would have preferred to have played that game at home. but if essendon should do what most people now are probably doubting at least my mind can forget about the stress of the possibility of having our finals campaign pipped at the post. now that would be hard to take. not that i am expecting a grandfinal appearance this year but footy gods if you are listening the team deserves it and i think a lot would agree. yes we deserve to have a taste of the finals for all the hard work, sweat and reduction in fat intake. for all those boys who said no to their mamma's dessert and second helpings at dinnertime. doesn't that count for something? and what about us the supporters who come to each and every game and follow the step by step guide to brainwashing our offspring into barracking for the team of our choice? huh? what about that? (i take my role very seriously altho i have to confess to a 50% success rate but better than nothing, better one to follow in his mamma's footsteps than none at all.)
and man what about this weather? for friggin sake how much colder is it going to get? my gas bill has skyrocketed. didn't see that one coming. so much for installing ducted gas heating i thought it was suppose to be economical... too cold for me folks. yep i am definitely not a cold weather gal and am not appreciating the temperature. how is one suppose to train in such conditions? thankfully i managed to find a rain free hour this evening to pound the pavement. i certainly needed that after discovering son number two had completely scoffed the last of my spanish dark chocolate the little bugger. ( which incidentally i was looking for after a hard day at the office...) and yes from the smirk on his face as i entered the lounge holding empty wrapper i can tell he enjoyed every bite of it. he says he is doing me a favour. you know what... he is right!!! LOL.
well i gotta admit the couch ain't looking too inspiring this friday night so i think i will find something better to do. our game is also on at the same time as essendon which will be interesting. they couldn't have scripted that any better, now could they? the rest of the round looks a bit lack lustre. CROWS against the demons, big deal can't see that one shaping up to be the match of the year, altho CROWS fans should expect a good win at home. the roos vs hawks could be interesting especially if the roos manage a win because maybe for them it ain't over till the fat lady sings. (it helps having a good percentage.) the cats/swans game should be the match of the round and i reckon the doggies might get another win in against the lions.
of course in my household i have son number two the dual supporter who is a bit torn as to who he should support. he has decided to wear his freo guernsey and hat and then to finish it off with a port scarf. like me he is hoping for a dons win to get PORT over the line. but i am also requesting an interstate win, ( apologies WA buddies) no fear, no guts, no glory. we should be playing until the end and then i guess we shall see what happens and what shall then come before us.
so to the tipping. we did rather well bar the tigers, the mother/son combo but this week i shall leave it to my sweet boy who has taken quite an interest in football, the stats, the players, all the club songs, furiously googling to find out what he doesnt know. he has asked to be the guest tipster and what is a mamma gonna do but grant his request of course. so this week i will leave it entirely up to him. and this is what he has to say for round 22...
pies, crows, hawks, swans, essendon, dockers, suns, richmond and bulldogs...

PS BTW, the POWER boys came back to school this week plus another. our canteen manageress bless her, wore her hand knitted POWER cardigan and scarf. we had a snap taken and i have to say the young lads make me look like rather short not that i am actually lacking any height.
