Footy is an easy game sometimes….
by Darren Spence
Gawn wins the tap out, palms it to one of our midfielders, midfielder kicks it inside 50 where it is marked by one of our forwards who then goes back and kicks a goal. Pretty simple really; and so it was on Saturday where a 7 goal blitz in 12 minutes was as dominate a passage of play that I have seen the Dees play in….well I can’t remember.
It didn’t always look that way. When the Doggies hit the front early in the 3rd I must admit I was as nervous as when I first asked a girl for the first time on a date. I needed not be, she said “yes”, and the mighty Demons also said yes and ran away with the game by 50 points.
It was a must win game, well they all are, but especially this one. After losing to the Saints, we could nil afford to drop this game, a game once again every one predicted us to win. Gawn again was the most dominate player on the ground – I hear whispers that people are saying he might take Charlie home this year, well he certainly is in form and would be a deserved winner. However players like Oliver ( a lazy 34 disposals), Brayshaw (38) and Hogan with 4 goals are a possibility to take votes off the big man during the season but on Saturday if he doesn’t get the 3 votes then I was watching the wrong game!
This week we are at Kardinia Park (or whatever the hell it is called now). Another huge game – it really is an 8 point game – though if we play like the 12 minutes in the 3rd (who said we can’t?) then it is going to be a happy long drive back down the highway for Dees supporters!
