Flooding

by BLOODY IDIOT

FLOODING my arse. Bloody Idiot is out of his mind with the newest crap to appear in the tabloids.

FLOODING BLOODY FLOODING.

This sounds like a U2 song to me and I never liked them Christian bands anyway! In Melbourne there is even a ground with a roof designed to stop flooding. Just ask Barbara Streisand!

COLONIAL IS A DRY ARGUMENT.

Take me back to the days when football was played in black and white. The days when players got dirty. The days of footy in the rain. Remember those cold Melbourne afternoons, when even the fattest supporter in the world feels refreshed after a game. Am I the only one who likes to cling to a warm pie on a cold day? Poms watch soccer in the snow, all we can mutter is...

I'M FREEZING.

It's time to go back into football history; back far enough to understand there is nothing wrong with our great game. Flooding is as old as Lou Richards is. In the days of black and white flooding was called...

THE SWARM.

Remember "The Swarm" following an elusive ball across a slippery and wet Windy Hill wing. Remember "The Swarm" scooping the pill out of an orgy of wet players, so covered in crap that you couldn't tell who was who! I know the Swans and the Bears are technically sub-tropical but even those games are suspiciously dry. Has flooding replaced what was once natural? Or is it a..

CONSPIRACY?

In the middle of the driest season on record Bloody Idiot says: There is nothing wrong with tactics - they worked for the Tigers!

LONG LIVE "THE SWARM" (FLOODING).

P.S. Hello to my new fan on the wing, The Ranger.
