Cats vs Pies

deird1I feel like a traitor: for the first time in my life, I will not be barracking for my footy team.
It's the Grand Final today, and the two teams are:
Collingwood (my team)
and
Geelong (my family team)
Generally, I support Geelong unless they're playing Collingwood - in which case I'm a die-hard Pies supporter. Carn Pies!
Today, though, is different. You see, Collingwood won the Grand Final last year. And Geelong hasn't won it for a while. It is, strictly speaking, Geelong's turn.
Plus - if Collingwood wins, I'll be happy. If Geelong wins, I'll also be happy. But if Geelong wins, my grandmother and my nephew will both be thrilled.
So... go Cats! Woo!
