bringing autumn
tackle by tackle
to the Blues
a mountain
clear above the clouds –
Dawes marks again
tumbling leaves –
Ball turns himself
inside and out
down on form Leon chases some hidden goal
a row of Blues
neatly laid out
for Didak’s trickery
pack forms –
Swan ducks his head
into the cloud
the swirl of leaves –
Pendlebury pauses
in the torrent
autumn sun sinks fast Blues within three
the crowd saves up its voice for a bolt from Harry
Cloke’s bomb
lands in the mulch of beer cups
and song

HB
The Pies certainly did bring it tackle by tackle.
Lovely stuff.
HB – a mulch of beer cups and song – sounds like a Collingwood rabble !!
