Does it get any better than this?
Two of my favourite Victorian teams - besides the mighty Saints of course - playing off in a Prelim Final at the 'G! Ace!
I’m going to draw Tom Hawkins as BOG tonight. Whoops, he’s out. Won’t make much difference will it? OK, on the train in I start to draw Mark Blicavs. He’ll be full back. Brill!
Timed my entrance to the Members queue to perfection, 3.30pm. Then a 90-minute wait resulting in a second row, third level seat! Grouse!
Cats lead early. Ripper! Tigers come back. What a gas! Cats up 21 points at half-time. Beeowdy!
But the Tigers pile it on in the third and run away with the game. Wow.
A simple train ride home. Second Blicavs caricature done. Where was he when Tom Lynch was running amok?!
Great day. PERFICK!
