It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
Brisdog had not attended a football game for some time, let alone a game with a crowd, a game where ‘Great Northern’ full strength lager was served and the 2021 Semi Final at the Gabba was one that I will never forget - nor will the campaigner who sat in front of me.
The tactic was simple: Before the start of the game and at each interval thereafter, I would head to the bar at the back of the bulldog supporter bay and purchase four full strength plastic schooners of Great Northern to get myself through each quarter. Of course - a visit to the gents was included.
The game was engrossing. A young Brisbane chap in his mid 20’s was perched in front of me who was also a passionate supporter for the opposing team. I admired him. He was a campaigner like myself. Each time Charlie Cameron
scored a goal he would turn to me with his face in mine and pose to ride a motorbike, screaming ‘Arrrrhhh Arrrrhhh Arrrhh’ whilst I copped the residue of saliva from his youthful, unmasked face. At quarter time it was looking like a long night - thank god for Taylor Duryea
.
At the third quarter interval I made my way to the bar, purchased my four doses of brain tonic and made my way back to my seat. My bladder felt fine - surely I would get through?
As the fourth quarter played out our boys slowly began to control the game. Young men like Josh Schache
were growing in front of me, as were my intoxication levels, arrogance and bladder capacity.
No need to describe Bailey Smith
’s left foot of brilliance with 2 minutes to spare other to say it was right in front of me. Adrenalin ran through the veins of Brisdog as well as I celebrated the goal by grabbing the young Brisbane supporter by the collar and screamed ‘Arrrhhh Arrrhhh Arrrhhh’ in his face. The look of utter disdain on his face was glorious, the look of utter disgust on his girlfriends face as she stared at my groin was familiar. I had pissed my pants.
