YouTube Friday: ROI @ LOI
Are you still getting those waves of spontaneous pride and excitement that come with re-remembering that we are Premiers? Here at the Terrace, we are too. Although it’s fair to say that, at times, we’ve felt the downside. Like when the Olympics leave town – that sinking feeling when the euphoria subsides and you return to the normality of normality. But normality is quickly boosted by a quick premiership boost me up, whether it be in the form of Scarlo toe-pokes, Chappy snappies, Leo Harry marks – or shining premiership cup flashbacks. Either way, it’s a nice feeling. Much nicer than last year, that’s for sure.
Little drummer boy...
It would be futile trying to count the hugs, renditions of the song or re-enactments of the toe-poke. It was particularly hard not to smear the face paint with tears at the Premiership love in at KP Sunday week ago; the sea of blue and white, Maxy in slippers, merchandise lines longer than a Benny Graham barrel and junior on the drums.
Following the festivities, The Terrace wandered riverward on La Trobe Terrace for a few crisp ones over the boards at the Lord of the Isles (LOI). Within moments our perpetusmiles grew even larger as we panned the room and realised the bar was dripping with GFC royalty, including three members of the Rangatheon.
The Terrace was in awe and wonder, realising that whether you wore the hoops in the past, on the GF or in your dreams, we were all in it together. The hugs, the renditions of the song and the re-enactments did not discriminate. As a Cats fan never has a few hours seen a greater return on the investment of time, passion, tears, energy and face paint. It was pure ROI @ LOI.
Yours Baskingly,
The Terrace
