Spare a thought for the vanquished, but not much more. No one is forced to play football. Men chose to play, often under duress, poor form, injury and a lack of confidence. It’s better playing without those burdens. Collingwood could not and they lost the 2011 grand final. It’s okay to feel sad for the players, but some of them played in a premiership in 2010, which will briefly temper their disappointment.

Surviving leukaemia – part two
Simon at the ASB
Every now and then I might get an ache, not sure why, but it is always in the back of my mind. I’ve gotten through it, but is it like a time bomb, will it re-trigger and in what form? Will I pass it on if I have kids? Cancer has been rife in the family in one form or another. Grandparents, aunties, second cousins. It is just in our family.
