It's THAT time of year again...

Yes folks, as a current resident in Melbourne, I can't help but notice that this week marks the beginning of Finals time for the footy.

In what can only be described as a miraculous second half of season, the Swannies have managed to scrape into the top 8, and on Saturday night (after only a single round's interlude)
will again meet Collingwood at the G.

Surely the Pies can't beat the Swans twice in a row... can they? To help prevent this, I expect my mother will be donning all of her red and white finery, for an unadulterated evening of screaming at the TV as the match unfolds. So good luck to anyone who DARES to ring my parents' home on Sat night! (... unless they want to talk to Dad... which no-one ever does... :-)

Oh well, there's nothing left to say, except,

GO SWANNIES!!!


Cheer, cheer the red and the white,
Honour the name by day and by night,
Lift that noble banner high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky
Whether the odds be great or small,
Swans will go in and win overall
While her loyal sons are marching
Onwards to victory

Yeah, yeah, yeah - just shut up.

My team ended ninth on the ladder.

Supporting the Saints remains character building.

When Eddie M took over Collingwood, he said he wanted to restore tradition at the club - and so far, the Collies have lost two day grand finals and one night grand final. Which I reckon shows he's lived up to his aspiration nicely! And if continues the same form this year, I'll be perfectly content!
