the break... time to refresh

a week gone and my how things change. the ladder has been reconfigured and for the first time...can i say it? that other team is in there and of course it has caused quite a hoo ha, the paper, talkback radio and mmm, i think i shall hold my tongue. with the season coming towards the end i am prepared to wait and see how the final rungs of the ladder pan out...
     for the first time in a long time folks i returned to the hallowed ground, yes alberton oval where once upon a time i stood and cheered in my black duffel coat with russell ebert's number on the back. it was quite the fashion then. my sister, cynthia and i went to the game together and met up with a few lady army members to get back to what it was like in the old days. one thing is for sure if it hadn't been the crows i suspect the crowd would have been halved if not more at least. great to watch it close up and doubly great to admire the prison bar guernsey. 
     in the end  it was a convincing victory and in the end i wondered why butcher held the football so low when kicking for goal. andrew moore had a great game and i suspect he will most likely get a call up next week. grass roots footy folks without all the glitz, hype and drama. i enjoyed watching it and seeing some of the young guys who still have a few preseasons to master before they make it to the AFL team.
