so here we are viewers into the second week of finals. are you happy? i know i am and will be even happier if we come home with a win. i have to say though there is one thing that i am not looking forward to and that is watching the game. what you say? is she serious? you bet. i will be doing my mamma duties and watching it with son number two who has been banned from watching it at the get together for footy place. yes he is passionate. yes he reels out his statistics and knows about all the players. but he is only 11 which means he has not yet developed the resilience to cop it on the chin when his team is losing or they lose fullstop. there are gonna be tears come saturday evening and i sure as hell hope they will not be mine!!! hee,hee.
well i have done my good deeds. gone back to school as promised even though it is my day off to collect student poster for competition that closes today. and am glad i did because she has done a great job. i think she is in with a chance for a prize. i have racked up 8km's on barry so have earnt some fitness credits. probably havent done as much housework as i should but who cares? it's the weekend and time for friday night footy. some are not going to be happy. i have a few cats friends but i hate to say it...i've tipped the roos which might be considered a bit of an upset. for me the cats had more luck than stand out footy this year. i think the roos with boomer harvey back in the side will have more hunger and also have the legs to finish them off in the last quarter. oh well... let us wait and see.
regarding port and freo, i haven't wanted to think too much about it. if their pace is brought to this game then i think freo will need jet packs to keep up. seriously that pace was blistering last week. and as far as i am concerned burgo is a genius. poo poo to those who doubted him....come on folks really? the man is a renowned fitness guru and if anyone will know how to season the team to come good at the right time it will be him. i think we are in with a great chance. freo have a few injury concerns but will still have the home ground advantage plus the height advantage of man mountain sandilands. i hope they have learnt from their mistakes and keep him out of the game and away from the ball. no bombing into players when he is in the pack. time to drop to ground and make him bend down and get uncomfortable.
i have to confess though folks i do have a soft spot for freo having lived there for ten years. last year i was cheering for them but this year i am not sure they are up to the same standard. whatever, it is going to be a tough contest. physical, brutal and tight but i am confident port can crack open the game and run away enough to seal the deal. there you have my verdict. and if all goes according to plan then i will be heading to melbourne town. if not i may still be heading there with sons in tow to give them an MCG experience.
so are you ready for friday night footy folks? i am. have my dressing gown on and will get my ugg boots and take my place on the couch. come on cats and kangaroos make it a good one!!!
PS did you hear about the lion idea? the real live lion parading around the oval as pre-match entertainment? seriously i almost peed my guchas when i heard it. apparently the AFL want to jazz things up. pure gold i say and it certainly paves the way for more ridiculous absurdity. perhaps we could have the birds of prey pre-game entertainment or some swans swimming around an inflatable pool on wheels. how about some flaming suns that someone can jump through? lol. it certainly fired up my imagination. i think i should submit my resume as the creative director of AFL entertainment. why not? ba ha ha ha ha ha...have a good night on the couch.
love FFFandF XXX
