Long Dormant

After a long hiatus I am going to attempt to do this blogging thing again. And to try to do so at semi-regularly*.

The reason for this is that the football season is about to start and I can hardly contain my excitement. After the miserable sham that was this year’s pre-season competition (my cynicism owing in no small part to Melbourne’s inability to win at a single outing of any kind over the pre-season) it will be nice to get down to some serious football business.

I also want to spend more time thinking and talking about football in general. This is a radical shift for me. For the last few years of my life at least, I have tried hard to diversify my interests during the winter months - to hold conversations, and go out on the weekends and stuff. In other words - to not let football rule my life.

But everything has changed. The world has shifted on its axis. I now have perfectly legitimate and even tax deductible excuse to spend my every waking moment immersed in football. I’m writing a PhD about the game and the gentlemen who play. Bring on Round One.


Is that a siren I hear?




*Apologies in advance if this proves less than successful.

But you've stopped again...

Was it the result on the weekend?

well, that didn't really help.

I've written a couple of things that haven't quite made it to publishing point. They are mostly angry diatribes about Footy Classified so I decided I would be better to hold my tongue.

Rest assured I have not forgotten.
