Junior Almanac – Poetry: Bombers (by Archie Rawlings – aged 8)
July 14, 2016 by 2 Comments
It’s a cold wintry night and I’m not at the footy. I’m at my local primary school’s poetry reading night. And for the first time in his life this little eight year old footy fan stands on stage ready to recite his poem. A poem he’s written about his team. The only team he’s ever loved. The only colours he’s ever worn. Red and Black, in Adelaide. Now that takes courage.
Fronting the microphone takes another sort of courage. So does sharing your eight year old dream. [This is a cracker – JTH]

John Kingsmill isn’t a North fan but, in Leicester style, he maps out a scenario for an unlikely, improbable but still possible outcome for season 2016. He may be proved wrong as early as this weekend. We hope so.
The Boy Next Door

Peter Baulderstone loved every minute of footy on the weekend. The underdogs triumphed and his Eagles vanquishers. But the highlight was hearing the boy next door kick the footy alone in the dark after his Navy Blues won again against the odds. (Poetry Warning: Swish – contains Bobby Gibson reference).
