i look forward to fridays. fridays mark the end of a busy work week for me not that i am suggesting that anyone else doesn't have a busy week but my job is full on and me i don't get a say in the team i coach.
well, i have to agree with jars on the first game of the round...boring and to be honest i barely took notice of it which is a shame coz i usually quite like the friday night couch. sat morning saw me organise son number two for basketball. i palmed him off to my sister while i took son number one to his game. ( yes kids sport equals no parent life... now i know how my mum felt having ferried us to all our sporting endeavours) man i had to laugh, the grandpa umpiring thought he was refereeing the NBL...seriously loved those hand and arm actions....i thought his arm was going to get snapped off! even son number one commented at the end of the game.
after that it was a training walk because before i know it i will be pounding the pavement and racking up 12km's in the pursuit of a personal best,blah,blah, blah...
after exposing the general public to the state of the jungle growing on my legs ( it is just as well i have dark skin) i thought i better do the right thing and get them waxed into respectable shape. the weather at times is becoming almost glorious and soon it will be time for shorts and some serious power walking....so yes i did not watch the POWER and CATS clash in its entirety...am i serious? yep during the first quarter i was lying on the beauticians table unable to reach my iphone to check the score. ( just as well i couldn't because the screams i would have emitted upon seeing the score would send my beauty therapist into a tizz over the temperature of her wax!!!) and yes it was not looking good in that last quarter until we seemed to shift into another gear and kick our way back to a respectable loss. a respectable loss because i am under no illusions...last year that would have blown out into a 100 point plus loss...one game at a time folks.
as i predicted feeling somewhat nostradamus like in my footy predicting, the doggies did us a huge favour. ( and i am now glad i did not admit to what i was actually thinking when it came to the CROWS and the ROOS.) for heavens sake i just don't understand that team. they seem to be like a jekyll and hyde. seriously i thought they would flog the CROWS after their effort against the cats. and of course now we will never hear the end of the finals chances... but until those premiership points are stripped from essendon there is no golden ticket. and it has just become a huge distraction, certainly a season that will not be forgotten and yes can i sneak it in again? the makings of a new aussie feature film!!!
collingwood well what can i say? the first quarter looked like it was gonna be the swans with not an ounce of trouble. and of course i spoke too soon and am surprsied i did not incur the wrath of FB pies supporters because i know there is at least one. too good, far too good and hey until the finals series arrives it is up for grabs... but pencil in FREO for me as a contender and one team i would be happy to see take the flag.
well my guest tipster scored a reasonable six from nine and will be back to join the lady army plus one for the upcoming and yes important clash with the suns. and i don't want to get ahead of myself on that one but i do feel the pressure and want so much for the team to get a taste of what the finals are all about. that would be a much deserved outcome but i will try and remain ken hinkley about it. so until the next round...love FFFXXX.
