Well it was a pretty tight game but the Cats came through in the end yesterday to win the AFL 2009 Grand Final. I was at a Cambodian house party with ridiculous amounts of meat, beer and mad Cats supporters.
I don't care for footy much now days but I did follow the Saints when I was a bit younger. At the start of the game I did feel that old passion come back a just little and wished the Saints to march through and win their first premiership since 1966. 1966! But, the howls of anguish & grief stricken faces of my friends were making me a little nervous and I could no longer taunt them and throw in the occasional stirring cheer for St. Kilda.
The profanity was incredible and emotions ran high as the Cats won and 3 people in the house decided to jump into a freezing, half full, rancid swimming pool, screaming with joy.
All in all a good day and i'm sure there are hangovers aplenty being nursed today.
