bugger, bugger, bugger....WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

before i begin my spiel two awesome shout outs. one  to brisbane for beating the roos ( altho i was secretly hoping they would win...one has to think of the ladder) for jonathon brown...fitting fareweill for a champion. and two to richmond for bringing the young boy battling cancer to melbourne for the tigers win. bonus points to both clubs.

     cats were lucky to grind out a win. not convincing folks but come september we may see them transform into ferocious finals contenders. i know it probably doesnt look like that at the moment but seriously finals are a different ball game. experience can count for a lot and a renewed enthusiasm for a team keen to get back into the finals action. melbourne let me down just, by 6 points, gallant comeback but not enough in the end. and well the hawks are flying under the radar and must be enjoying not having the pressure upon them. but hey they are back in first spot courtesy of the crows, who have yet to crack the eight, hee,hee...couldn't help myself.

     well we were there, three of us representing the lady army. number four couldn't make it so stayed at home in front of the telly. have to say her hubby ( even though he is a crows man) is a great footy supporter. he gave her ticket to a power supporter looking through the fence and listening through his ear phones. footy gods must have taken note but the audacity of his cheekiness after the win did not go unnoticed. be careful viewers and i mean all of you. those who are gloating for whatever reason if i am not mistaken the calendar still says june. a lot of matches to go but it certainly makes for an interesting finish to the season. i think i have to stop reading all the forums and maintain my composure, lot of hate for the power but i shall rise  above it all. and that is exactly what we did at the game last night viewers. i call it resilience building although secretly it was killing moi!!!

     well we certainly got a different vantage point. eastern stand level 5, bay 530, a birdseye view. personally i still prefer to be at ground level on the picket fence. i just feel as though i am closer to the action and do believe with this sonic boom voice of mine that the players can hear me, lol. we pretty much stayed in our seats after we had a bit of a wander down to the hill area. all i can say is simply we were out played. we certainly had our opportunities in the second quarter but wasteful kicking in front of goals and bounces that did not go our way did not help. unfortunately for us trengove was subbed out and we were left without an extra tall in defence. personally i think the dom would have made a huge difference and would have liked to have seen logan in there. somehow i don't think they got the selections quite right. however, let us not take away from the crows. they  smashed us in the centre and the ruck and well eddie betts, he is just a little flea, hee,hee...damn you!!! i thought if we were able to maintain our lead then a last quarter blast would have taken care of it. but it was not to be. and seriously crows fans you should feel embarrassed about your PA system antics. personally i thought it was a myth and a joke but no viewers. show some guts and passion and cheer regardless ( some of you are exempt of course and you know who you are)....a swipe? nuh, just real life observation. and thanks to the charm of one of your supporters repeatedly calling out F**K the POWER. we stayed, we clapped, we watched the presentation and didn't stoop to respond to your insults which was very fortunate considering there were two fiery croat gospodjas amongst us, take that you friggin KURATZ!!! lol.

     well on to round 16 a saturday night game which just so happens to fall on son number twos birthday. we will celebrate at the game with cake. if you are around come and join us and lets make sure that next week we are also tasting victory once again. 

down but not out,

muchos gracias, FFFand F XXX

PS lovie and i had a post match chat. she said she couldn't watch the last quarter and turned it off, thinking that perhaps we will put on the afterburners...sadly she was mistaken but looks at it as something to learn. good on ya lovie.

PPS sorry we didn't bring your scarf to rehab, the footy gods must have noticed this slack oversight!!
PPPS i promised myself i would go to the wittners boot sale if we won, i fibbed...i am gonna go anyway

all for one and one for all...the three lady armykateers!!!
