Where: The centre of the AFL Universe (MCG)
When: 11:45am local time (as in local to me)
Ahhhh what a whirlwind of a week it’s been with the official West Coast media bashing beginning. It’s like Gerard Whately – fresh from building a scale model of steam train – sat down on Saturday evening in his favourite recliner with a chilled glass of whatever s**t liquor he drinks and tuned into our match vs Carlton to watch us play for the first time in 18 months and realised how terrible we are. And then the snowballing began (not the one on Urban Dictionary [yet just as likely in Gerard’s case]) and now we’re the talk of the town after getting smashed by triple figures.
“Sooked it up in the first hub...”
“How many years for McGovern?!”
“Overpaid for Tim Kelly…”
“Toddy_Nesbitt wet the bed again.”
If you haven’t heard these phrases from the lazy eyed Freo supporter in your workplace tearoom it’s likely coz you’re unemployed. Lucky you.
In light of how tedious it’s becoming to be an Eagles supporter right now, I thought we’d take a trip down memory lane to much simpler times when things were a little bit better:
Okay and now we’re back from that nightmare, we’ll focus on this weekend.
Richmond sit a whole half a game ahead of us with 1.5 wins at 16th on the ladder. Yep, despite the umpires best efforts they just haven’t been able to get them over the line like they used to. Been hearing about them all week too? Of course you haven’t. Anyway, they stink – and the only way they could possibly improve is by getting an extended run at the MCG, hopefully the AFL can find it in their hearts to help them out.
They come up against a West Coast so inept and decrepit that we’re all stoked to have resident club hardman Dom Sheed possibly coming back into the side. So excited about this match I’ve CHOSEN to help an in-law do renovations on their house instead. Yeah, it's true.
Hopefully it won't be as dire as that one winter afternoon at the MCG above where I had to watch certified dip s**t Sherminator lookalike Riewoldt celebrate kicking 10, but it's probably just as likely. But hey, at least Jake King won't be playing, eh? Eh!?
