Nice slice of the moment JTH (even though I don’t share all of your take!)
On Talking Footy Matthews tipped Swans and then Watson tipped the Hawks. The world is upside down. As it should be this week.
This week somehow feels like an extra special build up to the big game. There’s a little more spice in all the various footy events and pre-GF parties, the armchair analysis and the Spring buzz in the air, it just feels like we are building to a terrific end to what has been, for a large part, a trying season. The ingredients are just right. So bring it on!
Oh, and kudos for the goat headed Vics phrase.
Cheers
