well viewers this past round just goes to show that anything is possible, a round of upsets and heartbreak for some but not for us!!! thankyou footy gods times a million. just goes to show sometimes it comes down to the bounce of a ball and what a bounce that was!!!
friday night brought a cracker of a game for the roos, man they can be dangerous and with the crazy doping scandal seeming to get bigger and bigger who knows, the roos just might be the ones to get the golden ticket. they have a tough run home but if they play to that friday night standard they are capable of beating anyone. and i bet there would be a few teams sweating on the outcome. just imagine if they did make the eight and bound all the way to the grandfinal. and just imagine if they were to play geelong. brother coaching against brother... sounds pretty far fetched? well nothing would surprise me and with a healthy percentage the roos are probably the team who can and will be the most motivated. man if that does happen you can say you heard it first from me, hee,hee!!!
the hawks went down to a ferocious team of tigers that kicked their ass convincingly. i am still out in regards to them. they would have to replay that form in the finals and then i might put my hand up. the bombers absolutely fizzled while the pies soared above them. perhaps it is now beginning to take its toll. what a complete mess and what a disgrace. i will say it again, advocating an injecting program in the relentless pursuit of winning without any thought given to the long term consequences is sheer madness and a bad example, sending a very negative message in my books. and this will be a season that will be remembered for all the wrong reasons except for us POWER supporters hey? yes at least for us we can hold our heads high and have much to look forward to. and how nice it was to sit and watch footy classified and listen to the panel sing PORTS praises and they are not the only ones. and before i forget a big thanks to the DOCKERS for pushing the blues a little further behind us.
well now to the big game the infamous SHOWDOWN. originally i requested a huge winnig margin. in fact i was secretly hoping for a thrashing somewhere in the vicinity of 120 points!!! hee,hee, i guess every now and then one relives their past traumas but hey i think i have that under control now, LOL. i didn't go to the game and i haven't even see it in its entirety. i was offered two tickets from friends who happen to be CROWS members ( yes i do have friends who support them) but unfortunately could not go due to a family function, namely a baby shower. and you can well imagine it would not be good form to miss that. i do have to confess i did tell a little fib on my FB page... i was sneaking peeks at the score during pass the parcel and guess the flavour of the baby food competition. on the way home lovie and i made a pact not to listen to the radio. when we got back to my place she almost sprinted to turn the TV on only to say she couldn't watch it. so instead we sat at my kitchen table while i made coffee and looked at my iphone...goal to CROWS, 20 points up...lovie says... we are gone. i say...OMG can you just imagine if they win you will never hear the end of it and how their finals hopes will be alive...goal to PORT...i say come on lovie we are only 14 points down and we still have time. we agree to watch the TV...goal to PORT, OMG lovie begins to start freaking out. she puts her hands on her chest and says i can't watch this...HUGE GOAL TO MONFRIES...i am screaming F****ING UNBELIEVABLE...lovie is trembling and crying ( yes she is a passionate supporter) she says it is a miracle and i say...OMG LOVIE WE ARE GOING TO WIN!!! WINGARD MARKS the ball and we are completely freaking out and now lovie has granted me my swearing concession card and the F"S are coming out thick and fast. GOAL...we jump and scream and will the clock to run down. seriously viewers i thought i was going to have to perform heart massage (just as well i have a current first aid certificate). SIREN...and you know the rest. what a remarkable finish. phone rings and feralina calls me and we are screaming like out of control banshees. man what a game that i will eventually watch and hey to my CROWS mates you are good sports. and with that i bow to the footy gods that may have given us their blessing for season 2013. a finals berth would be the icing on the cake for the clubs remarkable turn around and for that in itself we can be proud to shout the name of PORT ADELAIDE to the heavens above...well OK that it a bit dramatic but hey sometimes one just gets caught up in the emotion of things. and sometimes there is absolutely nothing wrong with that...love FFFXXX.
