Well it is the off season, what’s wrong with cranking up the Kenwood and mixing the manure ?
But unlike some, I don’t see AFL players as supreme beings. It’s not as though you have to be
a football god to get drafted. For donkey’s years our clubs have seen good useful players here
suddenly touted as superstars over the border. It’s amazing what a crowd of 50,000+ screaming
morons and a Mack truck full of moolah can do to a bloke’s performance.
But hey, they’re still the same bloke.
As any coach might tell a rookie playing on a seasoned veteran, “He’s just flesh and blood mate.”
I keep taking the 2012 Norwood team and adding McGuinness, Campbell and Newton plus half a
dozen blokes stolen by Andy’s circus and I reckon you’d have a pretty formidable combo at any
level. I don’t know all the AFL players other clubs have lost, but I dare say most clubs could field
teams that would do plenty of damage to some AFL egos. Remember too that old adage about a
‘champion team’ beating a ‘team of champions’ when the chips are really down.
Nah, I’m not impressed by the media hoopla. Given ALL our players, I still reckon there’s a lot less
between leagues than most people believe. It's a damned shame we don't get to prove it.
Luv,
SABRE.
