Eating Crow - HNT style

Welcome to my very first HNT. This is the result of a bet that I had last weekend with Ms SD from Sexy Duet's Sex Diary. We are both followers of Australian Rules Football teams, and last weekend our respective teams played each other. Over recent encounters, my team, The Eagles, has had the wood on Ms SD's team, The Crows. I think we have won the last 7 matches between the 2 teams. Feeling confident that another win was on the cards I initiated a bet with Ms SD and then watched in horror as my team was beaten comprehensively in a very one-sided match. The Crows handed us our biggest losing margin on their home ground and walked away with the win 133 - 57. As a result of losing the bet I have to post a picture and tell you why the Crows are the better team.

Here goes. *deep breath* The Crows are the better team because they displayed superior ball handling and slick, classy ball movement from defense to attack. There was a good combination of youth and experience which combined well to provide a potent running game. Inside 50 they marked well and kicked accurately on goal. By comparison, our ball handling was sloppy and mostly ineffective. We found it hard to hit targets anywhere on the ground and were punished for making skill errors. In the end we were beaten by the better team *unclench teeth*.

Since I don't have any Crows merchandise, Ms SD will have to make do with me wearing just my football scarf. I feel exposed, just like our poor performance on Saturday.


On a positive note, I only have to wait 7 weeks before we play each other again. Ms SD has bragging rights til then. In the mean time I will refrain from any more football related bets as we can ill afford to drop another game.

As an aside, I can tell you that #2 was the untruth on my TMI post. I don't have blonde hair, although I did as a child. It has darkened with age, which I should be grateful for, I suppose, as most people have the opposite with their hair getting lighter as they get older.
