OMFG friday the 13th...OOOOOOOO will the black cat curse the footy? well actually not the cats but one would have thought there were an army of black cats lurking around the goals. 20 behinds viewers...yes 20 behinds that even halved would have led to a belting and how would i know? because may the power footy gods take mercy on me, i was there. seriously you must be thinking what the hell? why would the commandress of the lady army dare to be seen at a crows game? well folks free tickets, footy research and i had to witness this hyped up game for myself. originally i was going to be escorting a cats fan but lo and behold she was struck down with the friday 13th flu so i took the next best thing...my little sista. and yes we did everything in our power to bestow the sista's curse. ( shame on us!!!) and yes we went incognito as to not arouse suspicion. and yes i took copious notes so that i can expand my footy knowledge and know how.
well folks we loved it. 8 mins until the footy even made it into their forward 50. the big tex looked as though he was going to have a huge impact but after two goals he pretty much faded into the background. geelong missed too many opportunities to really stick their claws into the crows and maul them into oblivion. however, once again they seemed bigger, stronger and with guthrie and show pony (motolop) running rampant big hawkins got a get out of jail free card. because basically he did zilch. we enjoyed the loss, hee,hee but sadly footy karma came to bite us on the goozica and take a big chunk out of our butts!! port you lost that game and if it wasn't for the delightful baby shower we attended then our sunday would have completely sucked!!!
friday night footy i was expecting a huge game and was curious to see what the pre game entertainment and atmosphere would be like. the verdict? pretty lame and frankly embarrassing. and yes you crow fans can point to the ladder and pull out the tire old worn tarp references but honestly unless you increase the first aiders around the ground, your supporters are going to start carking it in big numbers!!! the bullet of truth folks is that both teams look pretty mediocre. crows and port will be lucky to make the eight and if they don't pull their finger out well then it is doubtful we will see any finals action. and that is because viewers come round 22 percentage is gonna count for a lot. and right now i can only see maybe seventh or eighth spot up for grabs. however the golden opportunity lies with the crows now to snuff out the suns rays and bring home an expected percentage boosting win.
the match of the round would have to have been the tigers and swans. the tigers can breathe a little sigh of relief but is going to take them to reproduce that form week in and week out to see if it is possible to replicate another miraculous run into finals contention. i say unlikely but yes will give them credit if they prove me wrong. still you would wonder what is the point anyway? ouch!!! and port you blew it. a golden opportunity wasted to notch up a win that could count for a lot. can't say from what i saw the footy was consistent enough. it seems like once again fear took over instead of grabbing every second of the game and locking in a win when 17 points up in the last. i have to admit perhaps i am just as guilty because a quick glance on my phone and i went ok 1-2 more goals and it is sealed. the next time i was staring at defeat...boo hoo. and this round we have the eagles who on paper do not have a very good away record. i have tweeted the VC to give him the key word and theme for this week which is electrocution, #crispyfryeaglewing. perhaps i shall record some baby crying sounds to play to kennedy when he lines up for goal, hee, hee. whatever the case i know my chakra clearing and favourite undie wearing doesn't seem to be working. regardless i will be there in full force and hope the rest of the power fans will be too. here's to a fortunate footy weekend folks.
