FOOTY IS BACK
April 1st 2009 11:48
It is that time of year again the evenings descend in a brisk and crisp fashion a cold dew greets the pre dawn riser and the Magpies are blaming the umpires again....Footy is bakkk!
It started with an almighty roar at the sold out MCG for the clash of the rivals of old the Blues and the Tiges, the decibels spiraled downward to a supine feline whimper.."like the tigers of old..we will finish up ninth" or as Omni Eddie opined help wanted will be posted in the window at Punt Road by round 4. Of course that was the media performer persona of the artist formally known as the Broady boy purveyor of the last punch, not to be confused with the good of the game Chairman of Collingwoosh.
Whether mischevious in that tab-lied way of his or generating the finger on the pulse stuff material, the irony of inevitable assessment of Seargent Major Bakehouse following any repeats of the round 1 capitulation at home to the charm school from SA will no doubt leave some scribes itching to draw the comparison.
The grand finalists resumed where they left off providing as many questions as highlights, although the little General from Waverley will hear no mention of Waterloo.. the gentle humming in the coaches box on Friday night "Je ne regret rien.." is hardly confidence?
Anyway back at the 'G on Saturday the game plan went as expected, at the crunch give it the best kick, Didak or Clarke both received and dutifully both coughed it up like it was the takings of a Bikie heist.
At the Dome the Sainters out manoeuvered the manoeuvering kings, Rainman managed to unlock his version of the swannettes game plan from his cerebrum after the first quarter, he the brought the effusive media back to savant earth who wanted to rhapsodise about rookie listed Zac Dawson after his manful display against Big Bad Bristling Bazza with the monotone observation that the effort would need to be repeated to save his career, put that in your sentimental pipe and toke on it.
North Melbourne started as the mean to go on beating lesser teams in front of a sparse attendance, alot like we can envisage happening at the revamped Carrarra when the move north in 2011, oops! sorry! no.no. of course not the "roos are staying put and it will be "new" team on the Gold Coast in a couple of years. Coach Tourett remains passive for thye moment.
And of course up at Blustery Hill the morew things change the more things stay the same, Kitcheners mob have aadvanced their military techniques, no more over the top, what with the injuries and the injuries a modern combat style of isolating one warrior and they make a philosophical statement on behalf of a cause or as Andrew Lovett and Matthew Floydy like to title themselves in the pre match video they make for loved ones , "the Suicide Bombers of Blustery Hill" screaming "Kitchener Akbah" as the rush headlong into a mass of teal.
Up north at the new home of the previously unpinnable Vossy the Lions disassembled the Eagles, following in the footsteps of his mentor Lethal his team may strive to play in his likeness, just imagine 22 bloodnut bullies who are on on their own dunghill. Speaking of Lethal, he let the biggest secret in the footy media slip on Friday night in his duties on 7 with Dennis Commetti, declaring that he had no idea what Geelong's forward structure was! Fortunately the only gasp was from Dermie as the rest of the footy media make habit of watching or listening as they don't want to spoil their preconceptions.
None more so than Brian (No Lettuce BT) Taylor who almost broke into song as he described the tormenting of Fremantle by the Doggies, yeah that is right the same No Lettuce who disguised himself as "Brian" on SEN in a pre season call in where he bemoaned the state of the game and suggested that the rules of netball require serious consideration as an alternative to the set of rules that Footy operates under. Controversial as it was he did receive some backing from a mystery caller who refered to himself as the least popular Liberatore twin.
Regardless record crowds and goals and the big fella The Meaty Roo says that it is all evidence that the Roos will be a success up north... I mean the Gold Coast Wotsits of course.
