well, well, well, if the footy season hasn't finally arrived. were you glued to your seats last nights viewers even though it was the tigers? were you just that little bit curious? and so tell me what was your verdict?
me, myself and i have been lying dormant. last season just took it outta me folks. i had to switch off, lie low and bury that waste of a season into my memory banks. the truth is i have hardly paid attention to preseason...omg, shock, horror, how can that be so you must be thinking? well i just simply decided i was not going to pre-empt season 2017. i have come in virtually blind...well Ok i did watch an internal trial and a few mins of the JLT series and yes i confess i watched the last half against the hawks and was at least relieved the boys got a win under their belt. and yes i read the facebook commentaries from the doom and gloomers already writing the season off before it has begun. fortunately i still believe they are outnumbered by the optimists.
and now we are at the doorstep of round one. last night we opened the door and got a taste of things to come and i have to say i wasn't the least bit surprised. the usual happened, commentators getting over excited, dusty martin already pencilled in for 3 brownlow votes and by the sounds of it the medal is already his. admittedly he deserved them, i have no doubt about that. he is looking leaner, fitter and of course the tigers do what they usually do. throw out the footy carrot, the commentators fall for it and sing their illustrious praises. for footy's sakes it is the first game and no disrespect but they were playing carlton who got a fair flogging during pre-season. if you are overly excited about that, i suggest you think again.has the football world learned nothing? it ceases to amaze me how already the trap of getting ahead of oneself is alive and well. nothing has changed in that book and i for one shall watch the season unfold and take it game by game to preserve my football sanity. i dare not think otherwise, hee,hee.
so are you in a footy tipping comp? i am. last year i was runner up and scored a wad of cash but a few ill thought out tips stopped me from claiming glory. this year i aim to win and have my eye on the prize. so far i have one from one, tigers by 47 so pretty close folks. the rest of my round looks like this...doggies, saints ( tipping them to be the big improvers) swans...i know but am hoping for an upset and the power of my crystals reaching the SCG to alter the gravitational pull of the earth or something to that effect, lol, bombers to upset hawks and give fans something to be happy about, gold coast, roos at home, GWS to come out firing and send a message to the comp that all those draft concessions are about to pay off and freo to sneak in a win at home and take a life off the pussycats.that's it for round one but let's hope i am wrong about the swans.
so good luck fans to all of you except for those who don't barrack for the power, hee,hee. seriously i hope they have been listening to those flogs (won't mention any names) who haven't even put them in the eight. i shall reserve my opinion until round 6 which will give us an indication. i think the seasons are getting closer and percentage will make the difference. every win will count but by how much may determine in the end whether one team falls short. personally i no longer subscribe to the rest during finals unless of course there are injuries that could make a difference. as far as i am concerned you want momentum folks along with self belief, desire, determination and a bit of luck. the doggies had it all and took the flag, lets see if the puppies have really matured.
and to finish off viewers i would like to remember the past supporters who are no longer with us, bless them and if divine intervention is available, could they kindly send it our way. hip hip hooray footy is here... enjoy and may the best team win as long as it is mine, lol.
love
