Halellujah! I Believe!

"Brethren (and Sistren) I have seen a miracle this day,
hath not Jason Saddington kicketh a sixty metre goal in the third?"

"And lo, though we have seen the legions of scum win this day,
I have seen a vision of next year, in which we kicketh their asses mightily, And there is much wailing and gnashing of gums among the black and white philistines.

"Verily I say unto you, the Lord has sent us a Fisher of Goals,
who marketh like the mighty King David Mackay of old!
Yea, we will rise like the mighty blue sea and flood the whole backline
till none but the sons of Princes Park shall drink of the big shiny cup at the end of September.

My religion is Carlton, and my faith is restored!
our warriors are young, but their feet are swift, and their deeds shall be mighty,
I believe!, Halelliujah! I believe!

"Brethren (and Sistren), let us pray:

"Our Father, who art in Carlton,
Hallowed be thy Club.
Thy wingmen run.
Thy wins will come,
on turf each week, as it is in the Finals.
Give us this day our Coach named Brett.
And forgive us our slack passes,
As we forgive the umpires for their appalling treatentment of St Brendan in the first quarter..
Oh, and we're sorry for all those years of paganism,
although we're willing to sacrifice Cain Ackland if you'd like.
And if you could see your way clear to getting Dick to buy us a ruckman for next year that would be really great.

Amen."

I'm not too old to believe in Setanta.
