So this Sunday past a great expedition was undertook to purvey the final footy game of the season.
As the trains were uncharacteristically in disarray, Hulk and oneself collected The Great Sandro and drove to the vicinity of the venue.
Joining us in the vicinity were Sneaky Pete and Mirri Cat Warrior and we all made the journey across the bridge to the promised land of Victoria Park.
As we approached the free entry sportsplace we were informed by neon-clad officials that we had to go around to the proper entrance instead of walking up and over the hill.
Entering the ground One expected The Great Sandro to burst into flames - a fate the hot day actually threatened for all attendees not just #@%&! Carlton supporters - however naught happened in that regard and we promptly made our way to some shade in the stands.
Choice of seating was left up to Hulk who decided that the midst of a pride of Lions supporters was the primest of seating. One breathed deeply to remain calm.
The match began and we were all enthralled in what was important. Cries of "Go Pies!", came from oneself and Sneaky Pete, "I don't really know what's going on" from Mirri Cat Warrior, and "I'm bored, where are the chips" from Hulk.
Half time saw us swoop on the chips - as the Magpies had swooped on the lions - and then return to the blessed shade. Wherein we had to endure a low scoring second half.
After crawling through the constantly under attack second half the final siren finally blew to indicate finality for the game and the magpies had won our first one for the season!!
Hulk commenced vigorous flag waving, song singing, and cries of "I've never been so happy!!"
Post-match running all over the field was indulged accompanied by shouts of "I want to be a footballer" and practice tumbling to the ground.
We eventually headed home accompanied by much humming of the theme song emanating from the back seat.
All in all a great day to celebrate the end of the footy season.
