The Sydney Extra$
It was like fighting Mike Tyson at his peak. It was like facing the West Indies at their peak. It was like cycling in the Tour de France against a drugged-up Lance Armstrong. It was like trying to eliminate the Corleone family.
It was as hopeless as Luke Skywalker facing Darth Vader the first time. It was embarrassing like Daryll Cullinan getting out to Shane Warne again. It was as pointless as winning the opening set in a major against Roger Federer.
Sydney – akin to what cliché?
It is easy to imagine the clichés coursing with the blood through Brad Scott’s brain. North Melbourne are about to play Sydney in a preliminary final. What is his message? Just another game, just another team, we’ve proved they’re beatable, we’ve proven our best is good enough…
Clichés are often motivational, but they’re nothing not heard before.
