The fact that I am about to write the following comment is probably evidence of the fact that my mind is overcome with anxiety and making connections between things that it otherwise wouldn't............... Do you know that the name of the sandals worn by Roman legionaries was Caligae. Canny observers will notice the similarity to the name for the Roman Emperor, Caligula. This is not coincidence. Roman Emperors were often referred to by unflattering names, the best translation of "Caligula" being something like "little boots"...... carrying a connotation something like "someone not up to the job..."
When I visualize a premiership cup presentation (2022....I expect to lose in the prelim or the grannie 2021....) I see Max acknowledging Jim Stynes with a blown kiss to the clouds and Ronald Dale with a salute to a spot high in the members, then calling Chunk forward to share the podium....
It's great that TMac can have two down games in a row and the forward line still functions well overall. If one, or even two as last week, are off, others are there to pick up the slack. Not ideal, but imagine if we dropped someone every time they were off.... We'd destroy confidence and never settle. If it ain't broke.....
Remember last week. A margin like this is nothing. We have to keep playing fast and working hard. A couple of little bad signs in that last few minutes. Brown marked it outside fifty and didn’t pull the trigger on the pass as he had earlier……
Kepp. Working. Hard.
Marginal seats down there these days. The parties will fight each other to deliver cash over the entire peninsula.... More good reasons to go live there.
Great game, in case that needs saying again…. One for the ages. The team has come good. Even if we don’t win the cup, the club is in good hands if it can perform like that. Bound to take one home in this era.
