Had a smartarse Essendon** supporter tell me that he barracked for Collingwood for the first time because Cripps shouldn't have got off.
Well, Essendon** should have been stripped of the 1993 premiership. Wished I had thought to say it back to them at the time.
Still feeling sad.

So I have a confession to make.

I’m not having anything like the negative reaction that many of you are having to Sunday’s game and the end of our season. I mean, I’m disappointed and all but I saw this year as a year where we make progress but it doesn’t all quite come together so I guess I sort of expected something like this.

But there’s also this…

I watched the first half and was all set to watch the rest but the girlfriend came home from riding her horse right on the half-time bell and, as sometimes happens to her after said activity, was feeling a little frisky.

I don’t like to look a gift horse in the mouth even if someone’s given me the same horse earlier in the morning so I quickly summed up the situation and left the game behind, fully intending to return before too long.

Suffice to say a fun afternoon was had by all. I tuned in again with maybe ten minutes to go in the last quarter, ecstatic to see we were in front and then it was all downhill from there.

Which is to say, as I hadn’t had the high of the third quarter, the low of the last was mitigated somewhat. I’ll go back and watch the third at some point and enjoy both the team and my own ecstatic performance with a smile on my face but I’m not quite feeling the loss in the same way as those who rode all the bumps rather than…

You get my drift.

Get Longmire......!

It'd be pretty funny if after all these close wins they lost both finals by a kick
