The sheer joy and euphoria that comes from beating Essendon* is all the motivation I needed... but now, after seeing this, I want blood on the sherrin. I want, need us to win this week, and to make it a punishing win.
Not only to follow up last weeks effort and ensure we are on track for something to do in September, but because it is Essendon*.
Just to help the mood along, and in vain tribute to those wonderfully reworded songs after we got Captain Judd.
Once a jolly Carlton, smashed a poor Essendon*,
Under the shade of the MCG stands.
And we sang as we watched,
As Lloyd was thumped in to next year
You'll come and watch Carlton win with me.
Goals to Carrazzo, Goals to Fevola,
You'll see the goals coming from our Eddie,
And we sang our great song as AJ played like Juddy boy,
And Gibbs set up goals kicked on the run by Murphy.
Out jumped a Bannister, after crashing through Watson,
Passed a ball up in to our forward fifty,
As Stevens ran and got mad just like last week against the Saints,
Running right through some poor berk named Monfries.
(Repeat chorus while watching 99 prelim).
Over little Ryder jumped our man Kru-u-zer.
Palming the ball down to Captain Juddy,
And he runs and he runs and he sidesteps like they're standing still,
But you'll see the bombers still get all the frees.
Goals to O'hailpin, Goals to Fevola,
You'll see the goals from the great man Eddie,
And the dash from Simpson and the long kicks coming from Scotland,
You'll see the Bluebaggers win at the 'G'.
