I just spent a romantic evening with my wife watching a tape of the WCE vs. Richmond game (I need more hobbies), and I got progressively more excited.
Chimp love moment 1: First bounce of the game, chimp and Kerr shoulder to shoulder. Kerr falls over, Chimp wins clearance
Chimp Love moment 2: Centre square contested ball, Chimp gets ball, hand passes and gets hammered to the ground by incoming WCE player. Play continues, Chimp bounces back off the ground and gets a hand pass receive within 3 seconds of taking the hit.
Chimp Love moment 3: Kerr and Chimpa in a center bounce, Chimpa’s quicker reflexes get him to the ball first. But Kerr has his left arm locked in a tackle, Chimpa is having none of that, pulls his arm free and hanpasses off to win the clearance.
Chimp Love Moment 4: Kerr and Chimp round 4, the ball takes a lucky bounce and Kerr who was cheating to the attacking side gets the ball with two steps on Chimpa. Chimpa gives chase…. within three strides Chimpa has Kerr’s jersey despite two WCE players attempting shepherds. Bling catches up to complete the tackle and Kerr is caught holding the ball.
AT this point my wife, who is getting sick of being asked to look up from her book to watch moments of Chimp-tasticness asks where do I go from here because I could never like a player as much as I like the Chimp.
