Round 2 - Kangaroos bounced by the Cats ...

It's a sweet view from the top of the Reg Hickey Stand and from the top of the AFL ladder. It was another week, another victory and another top day at K-Park yesterday with Poppa Blog. There were subtle changes in the hamper (sorry, dodgy plastic bag) with the traditional Heinz tomato soup being a late inclusion in the Thermos for the radical spicy tomato version that impressed last week. We also bought a garlic and cheese pull-apart from Baker's Delight before the match. In: Doritos' nacho cheese corn chips. Out: Smith's chicken chips. I'm sure Alaskan Marcus likes my brand recognition! The goodies were washed down with some Pepsi Max and a couple of Carlton Draughts. Surprisingly, Poppa Blog repeatedly refused my offers for a beer. Has the world gone crazy? Or is it just him? Haha! The day was made better because of a lovely young lass who just happens to sit next to us. Like the spicy tomato soup, she impressed on debut after missing last week's match. I just might struggle to keep my eyes on the field this season!

I have been battling a cold for most of the week and the occasional bursts of sunshine were a welcome change from last week's blustery and rainy conditions. But as I mentioned, the result was pretty much the same. Another dominating win. There were many highlights and rather than me tell you about them, why not read what the esteemed broadsheet had to say. "Kingsley kicks eight as Cats dazzle" was the headline and the final score was Geelong 22.6 (138) to the Kangaroos' 10.9 (69).

For those expats who follow other teams, you have the Internet, don't you? Only kidding. For Yvonne from Victoria and AC, the not-so-mighty Demons would be close to the bottom of the ladder after dropping their first two games. If only we played them in Round 3, but alas, we'll have to wait as Geelong plays Hawthorn next week, Easter Saturday. It promises to be a big one. I'm giving my seat away to Momma Blog so I can watch the game and drink beer in the social club with an even mix of Cats and Hawks supporters, some of whom happen to be my friends. Hopefully, JB's camera will catch all the action. Regardless, read all about it, here, next week.

Speaking of AC, I haven't heard from him lately, but he received some good news the other week (I was remiss by not posting an update) with his condition and his survival rate remarkably improving. I'm sure that our well wishes have contributed to the cause.

You may have also noticed a recent addition to the page, namely being the "The Song Of The Day". I have fallen in love with Nada Surf's "The Weight Is A Gift" album and decided to list their opener "Concrete Bed" as my favourite song of the past week or so. Apologies/thanks to Rivjuando for the idea. He has had a similar list since October 2004. You should check it out!

And that, my friends and followers, is all. God bless.
