AJAX v Prahran
Episode 11: I’m Too Sexy (Right Said Fred)
Normally new episodes commence with a little recap of the previous episode. So let’s start there because, as we know, a week is a long time in football
Win against Old Scotch. Great passion. Great excitement. Great result.
Recap over
New episode
Last week was so great. I can’t say that this week was so
But just like any great episode based series, there are always going to be some episodes that don’t quite attain the same heights as others.
Take for example Game Of Thrones. The episode entitled “The Rains of Castemere” (S3E9) was incredibly impactful. Like horrifically impactful. Really messed the head up for a few days. But as great as that was, not all of the 73 GOT episodes were of that standard.
We digress for a second …
Anyone aware that Coach Whitey, Chief of Whitey Island, went to see the Barbie movie last Friday instead of the Collingwood v Carlton game?
Back in point …
But that’s what makes a great series. It’s a composition of good, bad, interesting and superb episodes
Today was one of mediocre episodes. It was the sort you watch with one eye open whilst talking on the phone while doing the ironing and polishing your work shoes for next week.
Todays episode had its moments. Bronson Smorgon kicking 3 goals. Bronson Smorgon getting cleaned up. Two End Tommy’s pre match address. Tye MW showing what a great future talent he is going to be. The umpire kicking the ball in for boundary throw ins (what was that?). The free kick count 10-50, Hashem turned on a magnificent day courtesy the Mishnah Man and we were blessed with hugh crowd numbers comprising predominantly the actors from “We are the Millers” )lucky there’s an actors strike in the US at the moment)
The reference to I’m Too Sexy is that it is a song about unabashed arrogance. Today we forgot who we are
We cant disrespect the opposition, disrespect the umpire or each other for that matter. When we perform like that it says more about us than anything else
I think we all know what we put out today was good, but not our best. We have consistently demonstrated a willingness to work hard, to take the game on and to support each other as part of our Team Themes. For the next episode, we need to return to that.
