Watching the antithesis of a spectacle at aami stadium on the old CRT tv, I
was placed into a deep contemplative state by a comment made by Tim Lane of
the Ten network team.
Apparently, Port’s David Rodan was omitted for team balance.
Having recently completed an amateur but passable job of floor sanding I saw
what the Power hierarchy meant.
I recalled three dimensional representations of planes and plateaus from
textbooks predominantly forgotten as being level. Rodan’s possession
gathering would cause an undulation and unevenness on the hypotenuse of
Collingwood’s gradient of victory. His tenacity and never say die spirit is
akin to a lump or a knot hole that requires the sander to go over several
times. As with the floors, the gentle undulations would hardly qualify as
canyons or even divots, but they’d definitely be noticeable. Remove these
and we have balance and evenness.
Oh, I suppose then, as with my floors, this balance or evenness is necessary
before a shellacking is to take place.
Therefore the move to a ground named after a geometric shape should rapidly
enhance their drive for team balance – at least every second week.
Footy was never meant to be rocket science Matty Primus. Port need to turn
again to page 1 of chapter 1 of the Vince Lombardi playbook with a picture
of a Sherrin above the caption, “this is a ball. Go and get it!”
Nice one Zac.
The way their travelling, you would think Port needed everyone they could get who knows how to get a kick.
Love the sanding analogies Zac. It still would’ve still been a shellacking, but Rodan would have added some polish. Welcome aboard.
A good opening. Looking forward to reading more from Z Stojcevski, especially now that K Cornes is getting the sars as well. You would think they have talent bashing down the door….
