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.

There's a lot of things around. But when you line 'em up together, The footy wins hands down.

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.
what's the topic in precise terms?
