Anzac Day
the odd comfort
of a resounding defeat
Anzac Day
trying to erase the memory
of Jordan Russell’s kick out
day of Remembrance
I think back to how good Cloke was
last week
Anzac Day
the forward line
shooting blanks
‘age shall not weary them
nor the years condemn’
but the goals are hurting bad
Anzac Day
a last quarter barrage
no one could survive
‘we will remember them’
every single one
Zaharakis kicks
Anzac Day Parade
Watson charges through the remains
of our defence

Poor Jordan Russell
HB – outstanding.
All time Top 10 Rob. No, make that Top 5.
Jordan Russell gah! No improvement on Simon Buckley, on a par with Ben Kinnear.
If Jordan Russell had been in Gallipoli, one of his own generals would have shot him.
If the Collingwood defence and not the Turks were defending Gallipoli, we’d have taken it within two days…
Litza, that’s just cruel.
If Mick had been in charge he would have called it a ‘process’.
Ha, actually Mick’s 2013 philosophy has a lot in common with the British generals sipping their whiskeys in the war room. i.e. the losses don’t matter
if Mick was in charge they would’ve gone via the Cape!
thanks for the comments guys.
HB.
Agree that this is one of your best HB, as was last week’s, which makes you in career-best from in my opinion
two vintage verses/stanzas pretty much summed up our woes on the day
