Round 13: Melbourne v Collingwood, MCG. Queen's Birthday

What a day.

First the Socceroos fail, falling to Germany 4-0. Then my SANFL team loses. THEN...

the Pies draw with the Demons.

THE DEMONS!

The mighty Demons, whose average age is 13, weight 64 kilos and has about 3 games under their belt. But that bloody 'youthful enthusiasm' can get you at any time.

I didn't need lunch anyway, might as well throw it up. Who needs life-enriching nutrients if your team can't win against a shit one... is there anything to live for?

I thoroughly enjoyed the thousands of cuts to Dean Bailey in the coaches' box. This is obviously far more gratifying than watching someone line up for goal, or a bounce in the forward fifty. Those shots of him still as a statue and reviewing his notes were intense, moving moments.

Devastation rating 6/10. Wasn't a final so you can't put it up past an 8. But it was against a crap team and we had 2349809283742 chances to win it so it's pretty bad. Certainly not wrap-my-car-around-a-pole-bad but definitely not good.

Until next time,

b&w.
