The day started out well enough.
I had gone to watch a game of football with Leon. The weather was good. The skies were blue. Living in Sydney, we were also revelling in one of those rare weekends where we actually got to see our team playing. On top of that, the Hawks were playing the GWS Giants, who were terrible. What could possibly go wrong with our lovely day out?
It turns out quite a lot could go wrong.
It didn't take long before we began to worry. The Giants had been regularly crushed all season. They were awful. It wasn't all that surprising given they were a new team. Most of their players were still young and they were slowly finding their feet.
This game was different though. From the very start of the game, the Giants seemed to have a determination about them. They weren't being pushed off the ball and they definitely seemed to be much faster than the Hawks. As the game went on, every attack by the Hawks received a successful response. We all assumed that the Hawks would eventually push the Giants over, but every attempt was met successfully.
As the fourth quarter started, the Giants really started to push ahead. They started to take a lead and nothing the Hawks did seemed to make a difference.
The Hawks were going to lose to the Giants...
We were seated in the Hawk members area, and Leon was not enjoying himself. There were a few Essendon fans seated in the crowd who were having a great time at our expense. This infuriated Leon and he let fly with abuse after the game was over.
