Liked: Melbourne, West Coast wins.
Learned: I have no idea if my team is any good at all this year.
Hated: Xerri. And a moment when I started to feel genuinely sorry for the Bombers.
Loved:
zevon’s write ups all year. Always a highlight. Thank you!
Cats pressure. I thought we’d fold this finals series. So very happy with what we presented.
David Swallow. Absolute servant of the game and the club. What a time to be the hero. One of the few times the journos’ trumped...
Liked: Virtually all games contested, and some nail biters.
Learned: I wrote off Hawthorn's defence too quickly, and rated the Dogs too much.
Hated: In the context of what's going on in the world, not exactly sheep stations - but the noise around the Tom Stewart bump was just silly.
So sorry to hear that, Art.
Happened to me in 2022. The GF was dad's last game (bitter sweet as he wasn't in the right condition to enjoy it) and the first game of 2023 had me in tears all way through. Just because I couldn't text him.
Hope the end comes gently. And most of all, I hope...
