Measured by finals
Two men. An Essendon supporter and a North Melbourne supporter. Sitting next to each other in the garage. Beers, chocolate and a bag of chips. A television. A sudden death final.
AJ wearing an Essendon top, me in a North t-shirt. We’ve been known to chip away at each other when North play Essendon. Sarcasm face to face. Text messages and emails.

In recent years, I’ve started to worry about North Melbourne’s theme song. It contains a line that reads out we come to play, just for recreation sake to pass the time away.
Just for recreation???
