WINNERS are grinners...

lady army members get a moment with the captain...

winners are grinners folks. can't you tell by my post match snap with the captain boaky capturing none other than an interstate lady army member all the way from lord howe island? awesome, super awesome and yes a bonus i won the 6 pack in the tipping round too. HIP HIP HOORAY!!!
     well viewers last friday was the day, despite coming down with a terrible sore throat and dripping nose i felt incredibly optimistic. the weather gods were out in full force and as i went about my business i just knew the conditions were perfect for the POWER and i was spot on. i tipped them by 37 expecting a reasonable win (considering carlton had being playing pretty good footy of late) and a return to form but what they did was phenomenal. as i sat there revising my winning margin i bumped it up to 70.  but hold on feralina number two sitting beside me took it one step further and went for the big 100 and she was pretty much bang on. YEAH! WOOP WOOP cheering all around and a glimmer that not all was lost for fourth spot.
    to say the crowd was electric was an understatement. 52,5005 record number, well done to all of you who turned up. the atmosphere was purely awesome and OMG how many times will i use awesome in this post? hee, hee...time to get out the thesaurus. but it was AWESOME and even more awesome to see eveyone with their scarves singing never tear us apart...perfect song choice which puts it in a nutshell folks. i cheered, i screamed, i yelled and still with sore throat and blocked nose was still pretty much at the front gate when it came to loudness. watching the boys destroy carlton was poetry in motion. as a friend of mine noted and he should know having played football under malcolm blight...his words were...wait for the weather to dry up...and he was right. catch them if you can opposition and srum te bilo to the burgo doubters. yes i would imagine burgo will be smiling quietly and thinking wait till the finals for the power surge you big, stinky doubters!!!
     watching the match was watching the beginning of the season form return. carlton were spent and barely made a contest of it. and the whole time all i could think about was one word...PERCENTAGE! yes PERCENTAGE viewers coz i knew with a huge boost we could be back in the drivers seat, well we were if only temporarily. and so now the next round is gonna be huge. the battle lines have been drawn. son number two has completed his defection and is assaulting me with his patterson stadium statistics. i am a little worried because if it does not go according to his plan i am gonna have one very sad boy on my hands. but we will cross that bridge when we get to it. for the time being i have the bachelor to distract me, hee, hee...well not him but the ridiculous behaviour of the women. what on earth has dating and falling in love come to? what happened to the good old  days when you just got blind and threw your inhibitions to the wind (thanks to the powers of alcohol). can't imagine any of these gals tripping over their heels on national tv  (although with the amount of champagne they ply them with, i was kind of expecting at least one of them to fall into a pool or something) i told you this blog was cast among other things! so until saturday, may you find the bachelor as mindless and hysterical as myself, well not moi but the show of course.
lots of laughter to yoooooooooo....love FFFandF XXX.
