The End

Each year, as sad as it seems, i look forward to the start of the football season
i mark it on my calendar and count down the days until the opening game
'Broncos vs Cowboys'
i went to that game this year and i plan to go next year as well

each week we tip for that particular round and i tip the same teams most weeks
i watch the Friday night games and hope that a Queensland team or Melbourne are playing
then on Sunday mornings i read the paper, flip straight to the sports section to see if the cowboys had won or lost, and where they were now positioned on the table

yesterday was the last game of the season, the grand final
parramatta eels vs Melbourne storm
parramatta had come from eighth position to make it to the grand final, they'd beaten teams 1, 2 and 3 and were trying to beat 4
a pretty good effort
Melbourne had only played 2 games in the final series, they'd beaten the broncos so not many Queensland people were supporting them
but for most parramatta was a sydney team, they had hayne and that was enough reason to hate them and support their opposition
plus Melbourne is practically the fourth Queensland team as their best are Queenslander's :)

yesterday Melbourne and parramatta played and...
MELBOURNE WON!!!!
23 - 16
Slater won the Clive Churchill medal
and Inglis, Cronk and Johnson all played brilliantly as well
all Queensland XD

so the season finished for another year
and i have to wait until next year to see them play again
but luckily there are test matches
plus the cricket starts soon :)

next year though COWBOYS FOR THE PREMIERSHIP
AND THURSTON FOR THE DALLY M

XD
