Yes we won the NAB Cup but I want Medders back!

I kinda thought it would be pretty exciting to win the NAB Cup, but when it happend I wasn’t exactly happy dancing or anything.

The year could not have started any worse, with our deteriorating backline of champions sidelined with injury, our captain tweeting photos

of himself in a hospital bed (mind you in seeing that photo i didn’t know if I should laugh or cry) and baby Magpie Tom Hunter out of the hunt with a neck injury.

So while I knew my boys would win I wasnt exactly smiley about making the NAB Cup final.

With bathroom renovations happening at my house I’ve moved in with my grandparents who have not stopped feeding me since arrival.

According to my grandmother-

1- I don’t eat enough.

2- I’m scared of getting fat.

3- two big pancakes is not enough as breakfast and I should be eating toast and lots of fruit right afterwards.

Now let me clear this up-

1- I do enough, I just can’t eat big breakfasts or eat two different meals right after each other.

2- I wouldn’t say I’m scared of getting fat, I’d say chubby lol.

3-where the hell was I going to fit in toast after those pancakes!

So anyway this timeIi was able to watch the game with my Uncle Jack ( A Carlton man who hates Essendon)

He kindly put up with my yelling (although it was mostly him yelling at the umps for giving Essendon freebies) and my dramatic crying

over the loss of Medders everytime that new number 7 got near the footy.

“…. I want my Meddddyyyyy!!!!!! *cries*”   – came everytime the new number 7 (yes I know his name but I simply refuse to acknowledge him) got the ball.

He’s just not the same :(Ii miss Meddy’s muzza hair, puppy eyes, cute figure, classiness, sharp kicking and the teddybear stubble he brought to the club.

Medders is one of those guys that makes you drop your books when he walks past you in the hallway, I miss him so MUCH… *cries*

It is the weirdest thing knowing that we got Medders from the Tarrant trade, losing Medders and seeing Tazz back in the Collingwood jumper.

For those wondering, no i do not think bringing Tarrant back to Collingwood will be the bestest thing ever and my uncle’s obervations I’m thinking it’s going to be a really big problem.

First off I think that the coaching staff turned Leon into ‘running defender’ so he can pick up the slack that Tarrant is leaving. My uncle and I watched Tazz very closly and if he is going to play out the year like that, then it’s best we leave him to model our jumpers if anything.

My uncle’s observations state that while Tarrant played brilliantly for Freo, so far at Collingwood he lacks confidence. I agree with this.

If you watch closely, when Tazz does get the footy he seems to be overthinking what he is supposed to do with it, where he is supposed to put it.

My uncle thinks it’s mental scarring, in wearing the Collingwood jumnper again bad memories are flooding back for Tazz, maybe it’s true- something doesn’t seem right with Tazz.

Even though it was a messy game overall I did manage to get some highlights-

Travis Cloke- just over all! LOVE YA TRAV! (although it doesn’t help him that white shorts make the rear look wider)

Alan Toovey’s legs- don’t go there.. my uncle wouldn’t stop talking about them..although I think he was just trying to make me laugh and get me to stop crying over Medders lol.

The wrestle between Heath Shaw and Ryder- “RIP HIS HEAD OFF HEATH!!!” – yeah I was pretty feisty lol.

The woman in the cheersquad with the sign – ‘Give me a Brazillian Harry’ – wayy WAYYY AWKWARD lol

OH and did anyone see that sign- “SAY YES DANIELLE’ I dunno why it was there but- yes YES I WILL MARRY YOU JACK ANTHONY! lol

And the best till last- Heath Shaw’s reaction to the streamer guns going off- LOL gold!

So as Collingwood adds another piece of silverware to the collection, I can’t wait for another Heath Shaw gun reaction! This time at the end of the year.
