ODE to the Draft

As soon as the season was over
In the calendar we did mark,
That glorious week in October,
That would lead us from the dark.

Brownie he wants to become a tiger,
Then Solomon that was a great shock,
He would have been in the yellow and black,
In not for his boyfriends picture in his sock.

The trades they were moving so slowly,
The bulldogs they rejected the approach,
Miller was given advise on what to do,
Lets also throw in the staff and coach.

The threads on the forum they did flow,
Emotions and tension began to rise,
Who to trade and who are the duds,
The club said we would get a surprise.

The last day was soon upon us,
Last minute trades were in the air,
The clock ticked past the closing time,
No trades and all we felt was despair.

The mood after the draft was mellow,
We could not believe what we had seen,
What can we all take from this week,
You beauty a Tiger in the Australian Team.

Great stuff. Summed our shattered dreams up well but finished with a laugh. Glad it's cricket season, footy is depressing. At least one Tiger fan would be happy. Go Kats.

Well done swarm. We can dig this out after our premiership next season and have a laugh at how depressed we all were over trade time. ;D

Rosy just wish you would stop dropping that P word on here :-X :-X I remember you kept mentioning it last year and just worried you may jinx us again.

Maybe time for some more moderation for you girly ;) ;D ;D

Very good swarm.

The club was correct. We would get a surprise. The surprise being that other than Dutchy, no Richmond players were traded.
