AFL Grand Final Footy Preview with ToM

Here is our annual tradition – a Grand Final Footy Preview from ToM!

It’s that time of year again!

The  relentlessly unrelenting competition, the pressure to perform and the fierce criticism of… the armchair critics.

Yes, the Brownlow Medal was on Monday night.

As a spectacle, it didn’t live up to expectations.

It seems that Donald Trump has set a new standard in the most alluring shade of fake tan and carefully coiffed hair. The skin tone of the WAGS appeared pale in comparison to Trump, and his orange skin is even brighter than the colour used on the Giant’s jersey.

WAGS need to remember that there is no such thing as too much fake orange/bronze tanning lotion.

But my main complaint about the Brownlow is that there were no diamonte encrusted g-strings, no frocks held together with safety pins, and no visible flabby backs.

It didn’t live up to the rich traditions of the night. Don’t these WAGS want to be on a reality or home renovation TV show? Don’t they know how to become famous?

There is also a football game on Saturday.

Previously, I have tipped on the basis of good taste, and therefore picking a winner is a serious conundrum this time.

Bogans or thugs? A fake and transplanted creation of the AFL, or a club that has plundered the talent of the fake creations?

The Giant’s Toby Green and Shane Mumford set a great example for the young, Green with the way he applies eye treatment to his opponents and Mumford – filmed, apparently putting icing sugar up his nose.

That’s how they prefer their role models in western Sydney.

On balance, Richmond has a proud history of sound corporate governance, stretching back to the time Alan Bond was President, and that should get them over the line.

Go tigers!
