Dear Adelaide, Brisbane, Collingwood and Western Bulldogs,
To all 88 of you brave and goodly soldiers playing semi-finals this weekend on the hallowed turf of the MCG, please remember to acquit yourselves with grace and suitable conduct. Conduct your sporting affairs like demented warlords, yet remain gentlemen the entire time. Be firm yet fair, passionate yet self-aware. And most importantly, please don't be completely egotistical fuckwits and follow the above example of Alan "Crime Lord" Didak when you luck one through the big sticks. The opposition supporters on the receiving end of your hubris will not forget it, and most of your fans will simply be embarrassed for you. It really is the most conceited, asinine, American act imaginable.
Best Wishes,
Susan and David.
The players seemed to keep it together. the same can't be said for this guy:

Sam was pretty devastated and thanks you for your commiserations D. He took to consoling himself with the line "there's more to life than football". (After a 24 hour AFL-fest with him and his family the other weekend, I am not sure he's really convinced of that though.)
For my part, I wore his Crows cap jogging this morning. That is as much support as I can commit to I'm afraid.
Please come to NY soon.

Ah yes, the upset man. I empathise. And really, the Crows should have killed them after that start.
ReplyDeleteThere's isn't more to life than football - it's just that football only exists half the year.
And trust me, if Susan and David could be in NY right now, doing cool shit with you guys, we absolutely would.
