"Hey, Rob Sainters or Carringbush?
Rob Oakeshott:
"Well, look. I mean, yikes. I'm not pretending this is easy.
It's been line
ball, a points decision, six to one half a dozen the other, it really could go
either way, in fact it's going right down to the wire. I mean, I like the
Sainters. I like them a lot. Over the years I have been impressed with their
style of play and, well, they have a country lad from Broadbeach leading them.
And you know, they haven’t have success for a while now, and further it's a
team on the move from the Lake Oval to Moorrabin, and the latest regional shift
you know, it's a club for every man and woman with a variety of clash jumpers
that the ladies can get into.
But then I
really like the Woodsmen and John Wren. I've been to a lot of their games in my
time too. And weighing it up on balance I have to say that I'm kind of torn.
The question I have been asking myself is what are the Woodsmen going to
provide? I want more than just tats on the move, I don't just want to get on
their bandwagon for the sake of Eddie and a touchy if not rude coach, I think
what we really need at this point of time, that is, finals time, is a whole new
way of awarding a premiership.
So if it's going
to be the Sainters then the question has to be asked, is it just going to be the
same sort of Sainters that we've seen in the past, or a whole new footy
paradigm? And I find myself wondering if whether it's the Maggie ferals after
all that can provide that - not just the usual gold lame jackets and expletives
- but something which also involves supporters who can speak, some designer beanies, a replacement coach for the day, an independent umpire, collingwood cravats,
a runner delivering messages by broadband, some green to accentuate the boring black and white, and maybe some gourmet pies instead of the plain old four and twenty,
some chillies, a female president, a cheer squad that's more inclusive, that says a bit more about
who we are and what we can be, a team that...
