Geelong Cats
Rugby league convert Karmichael Hunt kicked this absolutely beauty from outside 50 last night, his first goal in AFL footy. The Twittersphere went into meltdown as the Suns led the unbeaten Cats 62-51 at halftime, before sanity, and the Cats, prevailed.
There’s a good argument that Adam Goodes’ close range goal in the fourth term of the Swans/Kangas match, after Lewis Jetta’s brilliant sideline dash, was a far worthier contender for Goal of the Day. The Swans wouldn’t have snuck a one point win without it either.
There’s an equally good argument that the author of this brief report is a tosser, for having mercilessly bagged both the Suns and their creator-on-high, Lord Demetriou, a few weeks back.
For now, let’s celebrate a good night’s entertainment from Karm and the Suns in their home venue of Emoticon Stadium, or whatever it’s called. By the way, did anyone else think the Cats players were less than warm in their embrace of Gary Ablett after the game?
Last week while much of eastern Australia struggled with visibility I had a moment of surprising clarity.
Having ceded control of my diary years ago to my assistant Sav, nowadays I have about three hours visibility in my life. I know what I am doing up till about 10.30am but after midday it starts to get foggy.
And yet for three weeks I was completely aware that I would be in Cairns on Friday, September 25. Even more amazingly I was thinking about what to wear.
