Watching The Bombers (Essendon) being trashed
by The Saints (St Kilda) ain’t exactly my idea of an
arvo’s entertainment but it sure got an Etihad mob
off of their seats - oh yeah, its AFL, the game they
play in Victoria; anyway, nearly full time, and 162 -
52 kind of suggests it wasn’t one of The Bombers
better capitulations, tho’ when they bomb, they do
so with reflective panache only they’d comprenez
And I’d leave it there if it made sense - yet to their
loyal, or ‘born to the colours’ fans, it’d be dredging
the bottom of the ditch to observe almost ‘eldritch’
trends where long-standing pathologies of losses
bend credibility - with The Dockers (Fremantle) in
the lead - its a game that’s gone West - period …
