I deserved this
Ever felt like you were owed a win? I experience that sense of entitlement on occasion and not because of my annual membership, the raffle tickets I buy or the emotion I invest. It’s what happens outside of football that fuels my victory rights.
If I’ve had a bad week, the lust for victory is stronger. Winning cures a lot of ills. If I have done something nice for someone, maybe donated money or given blood, it is natural to believe one good deed requires another.
Footy as remedy
I’d do anything for my mates, even an Essendon supporter. When my mates hurt, I hurt. If I’m going through a rough patch, my mates are quick to provide surety.
Some of my mates have been around almost three decades. It means I’m getting older and they’re great blokes. There is intimacy, when you’ve known each other so long.
