i) At the start of the year, if you have told me that we would finish with the minor premiership, get to the prelims and that Fyfe would win the Brownlow medal, I would have taken it and ran...
ii) At the same time, we really should've gone all the way given where we finished on the table, can't help but to feel like it's a wasted year...still trying to figure out whether my expectations for a flag is unrealistic with our form and our personnel available due to injuries...
iii) Fyfe, you are a bloody ripper, especially after playing with a broken leg...any bigger a man-crush, my lovely wife will start having doubts about my sexuality..
iv) Think it's ok for grown men to shed a tear of 2 if/when Pav and Elvis do announce their retirement, right??
v) Where to from here? Who knows, but I think is for sure, I need a bit of a footy detox, couldn't give a stuff as to who wins this weekend...my wife and I will still be heading to Melbourne on GF weekend, but we will be giving anything footy-related a wide berth, and going to be pretend to be Asian tourists completely oblivious to this strange game with an oval ball...think the money that would've otherwise spent on getting GF tickets will be more wisely spent on wining and dining in Melbourne to celebrate our wedding anniversary...
vi) To my fellow Dockerland folk, thank you for sharing the footy season that was with me. Even though I have never met any of you, it has been fun sharing all the highs and lows together, and reading all the debates that raged on all issues pertaining to our beloved team...almost feel like we should organize a get-together one day to put a face to some of the names here...:) Special thanks to Shane for being admin to this site, and to WTB for starting the "What I learnt" series..
