In a tipping comp with family. Spoke with dad not long before kick off.
“Not sure about this one dad. We aren’t good in big games.”
“Doesn’t matter mate, can’t let the crows gang know we don’t believe even if they do win.”
I stuck fat and tipped port. Not out of thinking we would win but out of respect for my dad and didn’t want to leave him on his own.
But what happened to that attitude with our club? My dad is 72, he’s been through the wringer with health issues and he’s still more passionate than anyone running our club.
I hope when this regime is gone we can find that passion/aggression/ mongrel my dad and older folk of Port are familiar with and I hear about. I’m too young to have experienced it and it’s seeming like a myth to me.
