Footy Fever

I don't know what's wrong with me!? Every year, I experience a strange sense of deja vu. I spend most of the year with the part of my brain that goes crazy over rugby league, rugby union and AFL safely hibernating.

Then suddenly, midway through the season, all my team sport fanaticism takes hold and I'm getting emotional over a missed goal kick 30 metres out from the posts, directly in front at the Swan's 5th loss this season. I spend lunchtimes discussing the merits of union vs league and all other sports vs AFL with my male colleagues. I push my brother aside on Saturday nights to get prime TV watching position when the game's on. It's like most of the time, I'm Dr Jekyll - cool, calm and collected, and the remaining few nights during the season, I mutate in Ms Hyde - a screaming, clapping, shouting, raging lunatic who would think that the Blues inevitable thrashing the Maroons in the next State of Origin game is a mere formality and the next best thing to the Swans finally winning a well-deserved game!

Oh well.

Off to check the weekend's results on the Internet.
