Left to myself for the day,feeling lots of nervous tension on what was to come.
Its country week 8 ball tournament time and for the first time in 19 yrs i cant attend,no golf either,i have done the T4 vertabrae in my spine says my doc.
I fell down the stairs at the pub on thursday night.
The most i can walk without pain is to the fridge and back to my chair.
So i set up the tv out the back patio,lit the fire as its a tad cool in WA today,filled up the esky next to my chair and had a day Norm would be proud of.
Unless you barracked for wet toast or fweo,free to air tv wasnt any good.
nor were the radio stations.wall to wall coverage of the 2 teams all day and night
.
Luckily Live and Exclusive in my back yard the pies v brisbane was on foxfooty.
Ive sat thru saturday central,the hawks/welfare game more saturday central and now the main event.
I think i need a bigger drum for the empties.
On the bench tim lane tells me are Holland,LOnie,Swan and young Pendlebury for his first senior gig.
Voss won the toss and kicked towards my chair.
Richards starts in the guts josh at CHF.and before i can rip the top off the next can we have had 2 free kicks and josh kicked a point.
Maxwell seems to be a fwd to begin with,MM playing funny buggers? leon snaps a point,we have all the play but no cigar.
maxwell head butts Big brown and brown comes off the worse for wear.
Finally after 7 minutes of domination leon kicks our first goal after outmarking aknemanus.
Josh goes to the pine looking a bit wonky,leg trouble im afraid.
Rocca bombs one long and straight from 65,it bounces on the goal line,does a leg break and no goal!! bugga.
Daks kicks a point leon then outmarks akne again and from 20 out misses a sitter.
Its back to the bad old wasteful pies days.
Lika handballs straight to mcgrath and they get their 1st goal at the 14 minute mark.
backline working hard,Didak sets up rocca for a goal.then assists brodie for another,ably aided by a deft shepherd from leon.
Lonie hits the post,after lika gave him the handball,oh its wasteful stuff.
then to top off the cake a brisbane player with very sore orchestra stalls goals on the siren.
3.5 plays 2.2
Akne is moved off leon as leon has given him the run around so far.
Its a hard tough game,no beg pardons tonight.
Carrots is knocked out by a head high tackle and the game stops for 5 minutes as hes stretchered off.
Somehow the brisbane player got the kick after that,surely it was a free to carrots?
2 seconds later Ant found the bloke who hit carrots and flattened him legally.
Good set up from leon,then Bucks passes to the new kid who marks and goals with his 1st kick in the big time.
Rocca marks and is flattened by charman,no 50.
these umps are getting worse each week.
The square came next play as josh got 50 for nothing and we goaled.
Voss has a lot to say to lika,not sure what its all about.
11 mins into the 2nd qtr Brown marks and goals,presti hasnt given him a sniff until now.
and wakes has bradshaw stuffed too.
But in the last 3 minutes of the half the brians rally,heater is pinged for running too far,dodgy call in my opinion.
they get 2 late goals and one on the siren again
its a close tough game.
we are down to 19 men as im now told maxwell and swan are injured and out of the game,as well josh is a bit proppy.
6.6 plays 5.5
Lotto is drawn at half time
40.33.21.41.42.2 supps 43,28
27 million to someone that isnt me.
hope it was one of you blokes.
3rd term starts and akne goals within 30 secs and its a one point game.
Ant snaps a point,Didak marks in the square but is pinged for being held by the bloke in front of him...boooooooooo!!
umps are dumbing down completely.
watch the game ya mugs!!!!
Lika snaps a point,its bloody wasteful.Heath hits the post from 60 grrrr.
Bradshaw gets his 1st sniff for the game and they kick a point,10 seconds later its down our end and tarks kicks another bloody point.
Brown and bradsahw both goal within minutes and they hit the front,the bastards.
We do the adelaide trick and slow play down as we re group.
Rocca marks strongly and puts us back where we belong...in front.
3 mins to 3/4 time Bucks snaps a goal from a pack.Brodie marks 15 out and goals and then just before siren time rocca passes to bucks and its another sausage roll
11.10 plays 8.7
can we hold them off without a bench?
Too bloody right we can!!!!
Josh is on the pine with the other wounded pies
Brians get the worlds softest ever free and goal early,then bloody brown marks and goals,our lead is down to 8 points after 2 mins.
Bucks marks strongly at 40 and just when we needed it he fluffed the kick and left a massive divot .
ive now got a can in each hand, im on the edge of my armchair.
Its a wonder you cant hear my shouts from the G.
My neighbour did and put his head over the fence to tell me to shut up.
hes lucky i had a crook back and my golf clubs were in the boot.
Obree handballs to leon GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
up goes 2 fingers this time from the magician.
Stick that up ya clacker you fweo docker lovin neighbour.!!
Bucks tackles michael brilliantly,free and goal again!!
we have them beat im thinking/
Josh comes back on and immediately marks and goals.
Sensational game,guts,guts and more guts from our blokes tonight.
Didak then beats 4 brians,leon shoots from 55....touched on the line.
Then Buckley marks again and kicks his maiden half dozen sausage roll bag.
Lonie goals and its over
I do my unfaithful fishkisser impersonation,just to give my interfering neighbour the absolute Richmond.
I think someones pinched joffas gold hat.
who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
magnificent game to watch,even if i was all by myself,i tried to get into the spirit and cheered loudly all night
My back didnt hurt a bit,but my head does this morning.
Looks like another day out back watching foxfooty again for a pleasant sunday arvo,after i drive down and refill the esky that is
