The Terrace

MCG, rain, cold, St Kilda, Molly Meldrum, John Farnham, Toe Poke. Sound familiar? Yes Sir indeedy!

Here at The Terrace, it’s been a long time between premiership drinks. We’ve just awoken from almost two months of post-premiership hiberbliss and, we’re delighted to say, we’ve still got that special tingle inside. So much so we’re looking forward to reliving the glory again, and again and again. Did someone say glory again?

Today, it’s the second biggest day (after Monday night football day, if you know what we mean) in the football calendar: draft day. Yawn. We might just head back to the cat cave to enjoy a few more weeks of hiberbliss before we wake to the magic of Christmas and find the special premiership DVD pack – rumour has it the KROCK commentary is worth the wait, Cats y-fronts and Harmsy and Paul Daffey’s 2009 Footy Almanac inside our premiership garry hocking…ummm…I mean stocking.

In the meantime, enjoy reading this cracking article about Bill McMaster and Stephen Wells, Geelong’s recruiting officers from the last 36 years. I think you’ll agree they’ve done a fine job.  Unfortunately one of our favourite finds, the ‘Mummy’ Mumford, won’t be with us to celebrate back to back in ’10. On that note, who has been, in your opinion, the most anticipated but ultimately disappointing recruit or draft pick in recent times? Brett Spinks? Steven Hooper? Brian Peake? Gary Ayres? Stephen O’Reilly? Brent Grgic?

Zzzzzzz……….
