perhaps i should have listened to my gut instinct. man the kangaroos have got to be one of the most frustrating teams as far as tipping goes. my advice perhaps we are all better off just picking them fortnightly because that seems to be the pattern. i did seriously consider the suns and that certainly would have been a handy tip to have to inch just that little bit closer. but who would have picked the demons? seriously WTF was that performance all about? ( i did watch it) sell out crowd, home advantage. it just goes to show one cannot pencil in wins and get ahead of themselves. simply out coached. and yes of course being a PORT supporter i could jump on my high horse but i won't. but still, hee,hee i'll just add, just suck it up CROWS supporters, especially the ones who keep banging on about the past. one kick away from the grandfinal which was a soft draw and beginners luck for sando. BTW i have some very good friends who happen to be very passionate CROWS supporters so that doesn't apply to you. capiche?
i didn't get to watch friday nights game viewers because i was out and about socialising and enjoying some very good home cooked greek fare. have to say if you have a hearty appetite then the taverna pistaria on hawker street is the place to be. you can also easily share your meals, 2 plates for three is by far ample enough. i think i will take my boys there. i ordered the quail and my companion ordered the lamb. both came served on a large enough plate filled with greek homestyle fried potatoes, tzatziki, very,very yum pita bread. enough in fact that i had to bring mine home, could just not eat it all. delicious food but if i have to be critical, that front door opening and closing and the noise which is the outcome of its design are the improvements that need to be made, also add speed up the service just a tad.
so back to the footy. i have to confess i watched the game while on the go cleaning and doing things around the house. no disrespect to GWS but maybe it was just my nerves. when they came within 20 points i wasn't worried. basically they did what they had to do in bleak, cold conditions, small crowd but hey it was great to see the inclusion of stewart and for newton to make his debut. and of course gus returning, hip, hip hooray!!! left with a win but not a big enough margin to keep the top spot. but who cares? i am more than happy to stay within the top four and after the hawks humiliating thrashing of the saints well they are the real deal. the pies have come into form, the suns are now showing some promise, freo still are nowhere near to their best and the roos well that's the team you don't want to have in the finals. throw in geelong at their best and it could be cats vs hawks come the end of the year. however, my fantasy would be for the cats to tip the hawks out of the GF and we play them in a re-match where our team is completely in sync and we win of course!!! yes that would be the ultimate GF for me this year. a bone crunching, thrilling game where the cats jumpstart to a great lead and look as though they will smash us. there is commentary reminiscent of 2007 but then of course we dig deep, fire into action put the afterburners on in the last quarter and come back to snatch one of the most thrilling victiories of all time!!! WOO HOO...such an imagination i possess. so i will leave it there folks.
PS i hope you didn't follow the coin toss tipping method. moi? well a respectable 7 from 9 but i still need to do better if i am gonna see those bills in my purse come the end of the year.
PPS was saved from another meltdown although one was to be observed when the eagles hit the front. so on to next week where son number two intends to wear both team colours. my sister suggested to him that he support PORT at home but his response...i can't do that. and you know what? he can do whatever he likes because that is one of the bonds he shares with his dad which should always remain intact.
lots of laughter, FFFand F XXX...too bloody cold for me, thank goodness i have my new stylish hoodie for the footy!!!
