OOps! Another own goal, with Goalkeeper Rudd flat on his back, but still whispering to Referee Laurie Oakes, Captain Gillard has managed to head another own goal. Coach Paul Howse, standing behind the Labor goal net is yelling and screaming obscenities at the Opposition who are sitting on the halfway line trying to work out when the real game will start. Striker Swan is quietly sobbing against the goal post, while Wong is pondering the sky and wondering if it is going to rain. Tanner meanwhile has taken the ball and looks like going home. Solid fullback Faulkner appears to have left the field, shaking his head. Conroy was last seen sitting on the bench and losing video games with a six year old kid, while Macklin is mumbling something to linesman Chaser about her bird bath? Former centre fielder Garrett, transferred to the wing last year is trying to hide behind the corner post, but still has to dodge the cans being thrown by a small crowd dressed in Green. (The Green throwers are not accurate however and are mostly hitting their own people.) The fans have stopped cheering with a large contingent wandering off to the toilets and bar! The bar will need to make some money soon as we believe the local team is in serious debt after their new grandstand fell down last week due to poor construction. The game looks like going into extra time with scores at nil all! We now break for an advertisement from the Mining Industry! But wait there is a crowd of non paying maritime fans jumping over the gate. They are ignoring the police who are still helping them into the grounds. Thank goodness we only have this game once every three years.
