It’s not often I’ll quote Tim Lane. But I might here.
The Pies are good
I’m trying to keep a lid on it but I can’t – we are REALLY good. Especially some of the young kids coming through, which in turn has given new life to the older brigade. God, watching Collingwood play is just so satisfying at the moment. We have had so many wins against all odds – it’s the most enjoyable season since 2002, when we came within only 9 points of a Premiership, damn it.
Our mate Hotrod has written another pearler of a “Hot Potato” on the Collingwood site, focussing specifically on Irishman Martin Clarke’s excellent debut on Saturday night’s win over the Swines.
He has given us two lover-ly limericks about Marty:
A Handsome Young Lad Called Clarke,
Could Be The Irish Judd From Croke Park,
His Skills Are Not Poor,
And He Looks Like Heath Shaw,
But He Definitely Does Add Some SparkThere Was A Young Rogue Called Marty,
Whose Coach Mick Malthouse Chose To Start He,
Though Not Covered In Muscle,
He Played Like Scott Russell,
As The Pies Had Themselves A Party.
Again, I’m trying to be cool, so one last barb from me.
Anthony Rocca should not have been suspended for two weeks. That is beyond a joke. Two weeks for an excellent and legitimate shepherd/hip ‘n’ shoulder on Sean Dempster. What the hell is the game becoming? Bullshit.
I love Collingwood.
