A week can make a big difference in life and also football. Last week my sister Monique, good friend Beti and I ventured off to Geelong vs. Collingwood for some good quality football. I was proud of the boys’ domination in the final quarter…if only it had started earlier.
I can’t remember if I have spoken about my dislike of Collingwood supports before, but here goes. They are a very unique group in the strangest sense of the word. I have not experienced the full force of their wrath since 2010 (oh that was the last time Geelong lost to them funnily enough). Last week’s game was no exception as my friends and I had to put up with a whole group of them in front of us. One kind gentleman proceeded to say when he noticed my pink beanie: “AW I told you they were all a bunch of poofters.” I responded with: “How dare you insult one of the best clubs in the AFL.” It would take a narrow minded excuse for a human being not to realize that just because a club supports its female fans with pink coloured beanies it does not mean that they are a bunch of poofs!
But an old friend and North Melbourne supporter this week commented on how well the pink beanie suited me. I have no doubt that my whole face would have lit up when he said it. God (Gary Ablett Senior) could I please see more of this boy. He’s a good sort even if we worshiped Wayne Carey as a child. So it is with great pleasure that I can say my fortunes and Geelong’s were looking up this week.
. He was certain I would provide him with some chips. It is funny how he finds everything hysterically funny after only a few drinks. Wayne was truly what makes the social club a unique place to be.
good times
