Well the weekend started off with alot of promise, first of all changing my Dreamteam captain from Dean Cox to Dane Swan with about 6 mins till lockout and that proved to be a master stroke as Dean Cox only managed a score of around 75 that would have been disastrous had I have left him as captain.
Saturday came around and as much as I like to watch all the games on the weekend there was one game in particular that I was very keen on watching and that was the Saturday night clash between the Swans and Cats. Now to give you some background the Swans have not won against the cats since that classic 05 encounter and between all the boys I love to dish it out when my teams gets one up over theirs and since that great day in 05 I have yet to experience the joy of letting Sarge know that the cats lost to the Swans.
Going into the match I was pretty confident that the Swans would win so I started talking it up pretty early as well as putting a wager on the game for a couple of drinks. How wrong I was!!!!! The Swans went down to the Cats by 27 points in a very wet game at the SCG, I ‘am very confident that the Swans will get back up and put a few more wins on the board but on this day the Cats were just better suited playing in the wet.
The aftermath of the game as you can imagine Sarge and Matty P all having a laugh while I sat their looking into the night sky wondering if this had actually happened and was I just having a bad dream but the reality was the Swans lost and after a few more frothies I was on my way home and getting ready for some more footy on Sunday with all the boys heading to the Suns Vs Demons game at the GABBA.
After a sluggish start to the morning I made the big trip up from the Gold Coast to Brisbane with alot of very confident and cocky Demon supporters and while it was a no brainer that they would walk away with the four points I was in the firing line from them as well, as a pretty passionate Swans supporter I was covered in head to toe in the great colours of the red and the white. While the last time the Swans played the Dees was a draw in round one the clash before that we got belted big time and it’s a match I would rather forget as all the boys made the trip down to Melbourne for a footy weekend and that happen to be one of the games we saw and it’s a day that the boys never make me forget.
To add more misery to my weekend the boys all brought their Demons gear just to rub it in even more but I withstood all of it and took it like a man and we were entertained with a very one sided game with the Demons wining by around 90 points and to finish the end of the weekend we wrapped it up with a few frothies at the chalk hotel. Hopefully the next time the Swans play the cats we get one up on them and Sarge watchout when that happens!!!!
