Season’s culmination

Well, after seven months, here we are on the eve of the culmination of the season. AussieRulesBlog doesn’t have the sense of anticipation we’ve had in the past, but perhaps that’s more about our recently-changed day-to-day circumstances and our not having a ticket to the big dance this year.

 

Intuitively, it has felt like a season of significant upsets, and yet, the Cats aside, those expected to figure at the pointy end have done so. A few sides have performed above expectation, but more have failed to live up to the pre-season or early-season hype.

 

With a wintry blast buffeting Victoria this weekend, we’re not terribly disappointed not to be heading to the G tomorrow, but we will really miss watching the setup and execution of the traditional Grand Final ‘entertainment’. Perhaps Vlad and his henchmen have stolen that ghastly truck/boat thing that Wills and Kate sprinted around the Solomon Islands in? Surely the worst vehicle dress-up since the infamous Angry Anderson ‘Batmobile’!

 

 

Whatever it is, the entertainment is sure to be half-baked, cheesy and amateurish and, in a way, that’s why it fascinates us. A bit like one of the awful movies that garner cult audiences.

 

Roll on 4.30pm and a close result!
