Is Grand Final Day that one day of the year when there's no traffic on the road, the beach is deserted, it's often windy and you get the whole place to yourself?
Too true Mikey
My tale of woe....
Wedding day set for October Long weekend 2 years ago - weekend before on the couch watching Pies V Saints - as the game draws to a close the realisation that the replayed GF is going to be on the wedding day......
Not being a supporter of either side you would think I wouldnt care......but the GF is always a bittersweet day regardless of who plays....it marks the end watching listening to another year of footy with players rising and others fading and the realisation that your team isnt in the GF (and they probably wont be next year either
) and that its over for another year and you will miss it.....this is juxtaposed with the elation of watching a (usually) great game that befits the title Grand...
So back to the game ... with a few seconds left I realise I am not watching the GF with a beer calling for the ump to get some eyes or for the Pies Fans to not remove their last brain cell...I turned to the bride ....."well it looks like we will have to postpone the wedding then".........I dont remember much after that....my kids told me Mum didnt think it was funny at all......I was nursing my groin
... then the phone rings "mate.... what are we going to do.......
As a Tigers fan its always hard at this time of year - but go Swans
