3 Points - Oh My God!!!!!!!

I so feel as though I've been through hell and back over the last few hours.

I woke up at 6am today, excited at the prospect of my team still playing on while 8 other teams have a holiday. I just couldn't wait til 12.30pm (broadcast time for the game here). I knew the game was going to be on the internet long before I watched it.

The tension got to me around 11am, Iswitched on the computer, listened to the pre match commentary, and then 15 minutes of the first quarter.Once Adelaide had gotten 3 goals up, I switched the computer off, I didn't want to know we were gona be flogged.

After I started watching the game, we got back to within a few points, but every time we got close those bastards kicked away again. And then in the 2nd quarter when Hodgy and Bateman went off injured, we were down by 31, I decided to watch a DVD, it was over as far as I was concerned.

But 5 minbutes later my curiosity got the better of me, and lo and behold, Hodgy was back, and then soon so was Bateman. We were back.

Buddy Franklin. What can I not say about the guy? Effen incredible is all I can utter at the moment. I have watched the last 10 minutes about 5 times already. Just amazing. I want to go out and get blind rotten drunk, but it's a good thing my missus wont let me. I'm far to happy to be let loose upon the world right now.

So we won by 3 points, and the superstar kicked 7, including one with only a few seconds to go. My heart all through the last half was going nuts. My voice is a bit croaky from all the yelling, I'm sure my Thai neighbours think I'm crazy.

So the Hawks live to fight another day, and I'm happy with that. There's no place else I need to be right now.

Except for maybe at the bar.......
