Try this for a confused

Try this for a confused loyalty background. Grew up in West Australia and played Aussie Rules until 17 when I enlisted. Rugby only in the Army! (I nearly lost my chance of a commision when in answer to a General’s question of ‘what position do you play? I answered ruck and full forward!) Spent 4 weeks in a RAAF hospital next door to a rabid Essendon supporter and followed them for years. VFL goes AFL and the Eagles join the league. Change to barracking for my home state. I then resign from the Army and move to Brisbane. Now I follow the Lions but if the Eagles or Essendon come good I’m not that distressed – but Collingwood……………..no way. It promises to be a good match as Collingwood aren’t there by accident as they were last year, and after watching the Swans fold under attack this weekend just gone, I have high hopes for next Saturday. It’s refreshing to be able to disagree with Tim Blair on something. His site is currently the cyber equivalent of wearing your heart on your sleeve. Great graphics though and easy to change to ‘in-mourning all black’ next week.
