This article by Paul Daffey, posted about six hours after the Tige's win over Freo embodies the hubris v. delight of victory thing beautifully.
Of course there are no Gods in AFL to offend - not since GA snr retired and his son took up active retirement on the Gold Coast.
But The Gods are in our brains - such sensitive organs, and not exactly a focus in the gym or on the whiteboard.
They must be looked after - The Poseidon Lobe, The Ares lobe, the Aphrodite and Eros Lobes, the Lobes of Apollo and Hades, Hermes and Artemis.....
Do you think brains require sacrifices?
Maybe that's where most of Kevin Bartlett's hair went?
Maybe that was why Graham Polak threw himself at that tram a couple of years back?
Jack Captain Blood Dyer maybe thrived with a sanguine pay as you go approach, game by game?
And Cuz !??
Weekly we read of the punishments handed out to those who stray.
Greed, Sloth, Gluttony, Envy, Pride, Lust, Wrath.........
We must "Stay the Course Brave Tigers".
But what really scares me is that 4 weeks ago the Pies took a 71 point bite out of the Tigers' hide.
