the honeymoon period is over folks, yes indeed. let me ask you this question. are you having a love affair with port adelaide or are you married to the club? if you answered love affair then perhaps there are those of you feeling the temptation to jump into bed with a new and exciting team. personally i would advise against it. once the thrill wears off you may end up being worse off. just ask those exes out there, for some i know that is true, hee,hee. but moi? i am married to the club. make that... we the lady army are married to the club. and just like a great marriage in the beginning it seems to be all roses, excitement, you are contsantly on a high and in good spirits. perhaps that is how it seemed the past few years where port has resurrected itself from basket case to the ride that everyone wanted to catch. but after those past two performances i doubt many are putting their hand up for a lift. but if like me you are married to the club you will see them through the good and the bad. hopefully you will stick around long enough to know that the lows will somehow transform themselves into highs or perhaps strike a good balance between the two. i don't know. i can only speak for myself and the hardcore lady army followers!!!
oh my frigging footballs, my sms line was indeed running hot through the course of the power/lions game. it seemed as though i was the first port of call as friends texted me in disbelief. can you believe it? can you believe that? OMG what is happening? where have the power gone? mm, perhaps it was a team of imposters i replied. i certainly earnt my mantle of footy counsellor. after a few messges i just responded...hello this is the footy fan in pain hotline. please wait a few minutes as the lady army commander is on another text comforting a fellow fan who is about to implode. you will be attended to at the soonest convenience. ps you are currently in the queue and with 60,000 members the lady army commander may be slightly delayed!!! lol. make that double, no triple friggin footballs, it was a long night and yes fellow fans i understand your pain. but i do not control the outcome of the power games...the players do, simple as that.
i hope this is just a glitch in the radar. that burgo really does have a masterplan and at this point in time seems somewhat crazy and defies all sporting logic but will reap rewards...yes,yes,yes he does. (well Lewie doesn't seem to think so) what else can i say viewers? personally i reverted to the do your housework strategy in the hope that checking the scores from time to time would show me the footy. alas it did not but i certainly had a sparkling clean house. vacuuming done, dishes washed, dusting done, bathroom floor scrubbed. ( true, i had to give lovie a pair of sunglasses to wear before she came in the door so she would not be blinded). in the end son number two turned on the tv and said...mum you have to watch your team and i did. and i did just get a glimmer of hope with those two goals in the third but then it just went pear shaped from there. OMG who would have picked brisbane? not me folks ( although i did say...see blog below that richmond would probably win. should have stuck to my gut instinct...drats could have gained one!!!)
all i can say from embarrassment will come improvement. having made my debut at arndale shopping centre as a ten year old in the talent quest and scoring 4/10 for trying; i then developed into somewhat of a fine singer, hee,hee. but that was for having the guts to try. to some of us it looked as though the guys were not even trying. smashed at the stoppages, ( come back ollie!!!) our famous run nowhere to be seen. inaccuracy at goal plus the inability to stamp our auhtority on the game led to a huge short circuiting equalling a power failure. no disrespect to brisbane because obviously they were the better side but seriously guys this is not what we have come to expect. these are the games you need to put in the bank or guess what? you will be playing catch up football and kissing your finals chances adios. what on earth is going on? you must stand up regardless of players injured or missing or i warn you there will be a fans arrest!!! that's right i will be issuing lady army warrants for your immediate arrest. (can't you see i am resorting to humour to mask the deep undeniable pain i feel at seeing your opportunity to make headway into the eight?)
whatever it is or whatever others speculate we do not know. have to agree with ken's assessment. time for another reality check, coz guess what? there is a new young and exciting team in afl town stealing your thunder. go back and watch some footage of this team and see yourselves once again because this is where you came from...and remember actions speak louder than words. a huge game coming up against another rival coming off of a win. they will like to think that you are now beatable. you have much to prove and more importantly you have someone to prove it to. think of team, think of kane and send him off in the way in which he deserves. we will bring the noise, you bring the play!!!
ps (i am available for inspiring speech writing in cae you need it, hee,hee)
PPS nothing more to say, we lost, end of story.
PPPS time to end fan pain coz i don't have enough time to man the hotline.
love FFFandF XXX
