18 vs 20

I'm going to start off by saying sorry to all my loyal readers. Im so sorry. So, so sorry. Why? Because we lost to Donnybrook. Yes, its true.

We were going pretty good too. They kicked the first goal, thanks to a shitty umpiring decision, but we got the next couple back to be 1 up at quarter time. We knew we werent playing our best but we had so many umpiring decisions, soft calls, go against us. We came out flat in the 2nd but moving Pagey to the square and leaving him one-out bought us 4 goals, 3 to the big man. It was roughly about 9.5 to 5.3 at half time, and we came off feeling pretty happy that we had started to get on top even though the umpiring decisions were not improving.

But then it all just went to shit.

We couldnt get near the ball without a push, hold or 'throw' (fucking bullshit) called against us. It was the single worst display of umpiring i have ever seen, and not just because they were shit calls, but because 95% went Donnybrook's way. And i promise you, that is not an exaggeration. I was on the sidelines going nutso at them, i was scared i was going to hurt them hey. So they ended up getting 8 goals to 1, leaving us three goals behind.

Up to this point, 9 of their 13 goals had come from free kicks, 7 directly and 2 indirectly. it was an absolute joke. In fairness though, we did play pretty badly in the 3rd, but it was because frustration and decreased confidence due to the umpires affected our team so badly.

The last quarter was the only semi-even quarter umpiring-wise, but donnybrook just shut down and droppped players back, preferring to stop us scoring rather than scoring themselves. They ended up winning by about 2 goals. You should have seen them, they were so fucking happy, they were basically making love it the forward pocket. Even with no lube. Best players;

Tony Page. An absolute machine. Killed it in the ruck and around the ground all day, probably helped by the fact he was our only marking target cos Baker and Harbeck were both absent. When moved down forward he bagged 3 in 10 mins and finished with 5.2 in a buddy-like performance.

Tony Page. A friggen gun. Seriously. If it wasnt for this dude, we would have lost be the same margin we thrashed Donnybrook by last time. Scored a 55m goal on the run in the first quarter, and he didnt even get onto it. Brockish goal.

Tony Page. Noone else is worth mentioning, because Tony was the team.

At least league and reserves dominated hell easily. Fraser kicked a couple and Jimmy kicked 4 or 5, mostly cheapies though. He got punched in the head and was rolling around on the ground it was so funny hey.

While we were watching league out of Rennies' ute's tray, i noticed Chris Masten had decided to rock up. All the girls were sucked to him like homos to a soccer match obviously, it was pretty lame. Morgan, the Emmas and Ric were off and played groupies for a while, which seemed to work cos they got propositioned to go back to his hotel. So now we know he has no standards, but at least the girls do, as they didnt oblige.

It was pretty funny watching everyone in the rooms around him, the guys were showing off hell bad and the chicks had doodle signs for pupils, they were that keen on him. I think he pulled two roots by 10 O'Clock. Nice. The night was pretty good, everyone enjoyed themselves heaps and it got shut down around about 1. We ordered a taxi but it got poached by fucking Tyson so we walked (i ran) to the 24 hour-ie and got food while we waited for a taxi. Which ended up being like an hour.

So all in all, pretty good fun. favourite part of the night was watching Chris Masten wearing a busso magpies hat and yelling out about how much he loves Busso and wants to play for us. Hell pathetic hey, but funny.

Aiite, im off like Thomas' shirt at every party
