season extinguished...time to regenerate for 2016

well we certainly did extinguish the suns flames on the weekend but thanks to the roos our season was officially extinguished the week before. any slim chance gone, makes me wonder if the dockers were really trying that hard, one cannot help think strategy but of course sometimes that can backfire, we shall wait and see. let us just smash them this week instead and lament the fact that we are ninth which will refuel our resurgence next season.
     well the season certainly held some surprsies this year. didn't see the emergence of the bulldogs nor the rise of the eagles. up until last week the eagles looked completely majestic and a genuine premiership chance. when you have the wins in the bank and a second chance then you may be able to afford a blimp on the footy success radar. as much as i hate to admit it the crows were phenomenal in the first quarter, just blew them out of the oval. god it just makes me feel sick, hee,hee...how much more are we going to be subjected to? it was only a few weeks ago that roo was rolling out the excuses, yes as i quite rightly recall they were 2-3 years away according to his predictions. well now you may as well hand them the cup if you believe the hype so fickle is the football world and the experts who inhabit it. but beware i say, get too far ahead of oneself and you are heading for a spectacular fall. and the higher they place you on the pedestal the harder you fall and the more it is gonna hurt. ouch!!!! i do have my secret football fantasy but i shall keep that a secret. i don't want to be tempting footy karma just yet but i will reveal that my prediction is...no big surprises, hawks for a third flag.
     come finals time viewers and it will be a completely different ball game. having finals experience in your footy socks counts for a lot. playing in front of your home crowd is a huge bonus, just ask us who were there last year for the richmond flogging; pity i am gonna have to watch it from the sidelines, boo hoo. the best i can hope for now is that freo make it to the grandfinal for son number two's sake and that they actually win it. if not i will take the edge on your seat experience anyday after that dismal display from sydney lasty year. 
     so this week will be the lady army's last stand. it also happens to be lovies birthday...laundry threats have not allowed me to publish her age. sorry folks i admit my shame and am not willing to give up my golden laundry ticket just yet. if all goes according to plan then perhaps there will be a nice surprise for her. in anycase there will certainly be birthday cake so come down to bay 100 and stop me from ingesting my weekly allowance of fat grams and sugar in one slice! and to the footy gods if anyone truly deserves a win on her birthday it is our legendary lovie, make the margin her age and then we're talking. so onto the last game for the power folks and onto supporting the magpies in their pursuit of a sanfl premiership. some of us feralinas made it to alberton and back to grassroots footy which is where it all began. and who knows maybe the finals will still deliver a few surprises yet...just make it the ones i want footy gods, hee,hee.
love FFandF XXX

Lovie with the lady army...
