I had one under my arm wherever I went. Taught myself to kick left foot in the style of Neville Fields, became so good that coaches didn't know which was my natural side. I could lie and say I was a 'coodabeen' but truth is I tried out for Carlton (back in the days of a 'Form 4') and wasn't good enough. My boy is one of those "naturals" who excels at whatever sport he tries. One season of soccer? Best & Fairest. One season of Volleyball? Second in state finals. Season before last - BOG in winning footy GF. Last Year - B&F. Never touches a footy unless it's during a scheduled training season or match day. Spends hours every day on his game console AND CAN'T KICK LEFT FOOT.
Kids having homework and computer games would be a new phenomenon..... to an 85 year old.
Both those "experts" would have been raving about round 1 which overall was pretty good.
Roos / Saints / Carlton were horrible round 2 though.
