The weather was cold, sleety and miserable on Easter Monday and I was glad to take refuge in Peter and Andrea’s corporate box.
I doubt they’re equally glad they invited me.
Before long a child was enquiring about the identity of ‘the lady making all the noise’ Later, in an exuberant celebration of a goal, I tipped coffee all over my host’s brother-in-law. And when the final siren sounded my gesture of despair ended in an elbow to my hostess’s nose.
We play Geelong again on 19th August and it’s a night game. A corporate box is a very nice place to be even when you’re being gloated at. Four months should be enough time to brush up on my manners. And maybe that night I can be magnanimous in victory. But I think a mega-gloat would be excusable really.
