I’ve got to say that I have enjoyed Grand Final Replay Week very much. I am never ready for the football season to start and nor am I ready for it to end. No matter how disinterested I am during the season (and I can be extremely dis-interested, let me tell you) by the time the finals come around I start following more closely and if the Grand Final features a team I care about at all I get right into it. So the end of the season then comes as a shock. How empty that first Saturday afternoon in October seems!
So what a bonus the drawn Grand Final has been. Not only did we get one of the best games of football I’ve ever seen but we get an extra week of footy!
Chris left a voicemail message on Sunday in which he struggled to get the words out through shredded vocal cords. My friend Anne said on Sunday afternoon “I love my team. I love every single one of them. I love Riewoldt and Fisher and Milne and Goddard and most of all I love Lenny Hayes. I am very proud of them, I think they played very well and I think we’ll win next week.”
Well I love them too and they’re not even mine. And I hope to God they win.
