So I've never been into watching any sport. I love playing sport but I've never been one to watch sport.
But over the years, I have found my self watching a game here there. However recently I'm watching, listening and sometimes even talking sport.
The funny things you do for love...
So I had to endure though cricket season and all I ever think of when I think cricket is the lyrics "I don't like cricket, oh no I love it"
Cricket to me is a great background sport for a BBQ and honestly watching the news highlight of cricket is pretty much all you need from the cricket. The scores, the catches and the run outs.
But nooooooo apparently we need to know the score constantly, and the cricket is on tv at home and when we are in the car it's on the radio. And there is sooo much cricket! The Ashes, T20, 1 day, 2 day and 4 days.
I made it for another year throughout cricket season, and the poor English team but done and dusted. Btw it's actually still going on Australia is now playing South Africa.
But guess what's back, back again, footy's back, don't bother about telling a friend they already know.
And so it begins with the NAB challenge.
The NAB challenge. 18 games 18 days for nothing!! No prizes, no cup, no trophies, no giant fake cheque .
AFL took away the NAB cup, scrap the whole thing and have given us the NAB challenge that should be the NAB not so challenging.
Okay there is a challenge, just not for the players. The challenge is sit through 18 non stop days of meaningless pre-season footy for me anyways. For Nate is probably so exciting, to see the teams who recently got a new coach preform like St. Kilda or Essendon kinda, and for his dream team.
Team will play 2 games in total, and they are playing it all over Australia. First game Geelong vs Collingwood, played in Geelong but they even play in Alice Springs!! Who plays in Alice Springs.
To me this whole thing is just to ensure that one of the key players is out on injury, for the majority of the season and plus the rules aren't the same!
And if you're worried real footy starts Friday, March 14 with Collingwood versus Fremantle at Etihad.
I leave with you common saying that you might hear.
Common.
Kick it.
Kick the bloody thing.
He's a unit.
He's don't nothing.
OMG.
I should YouTube more.
