1. Alcohol. Tried and tested relief, if short-term, expensive and prone to leaving an after-taste worse than the original shock.
I've been too long out of the loop in such things, and it would now appear that one Cascade Pale Ale is all it takes to guarantee to have a Wong in a wight state whereby said Wong needs to pay off the blackmailers.
Expensive can o' beer, that.
Can? Holy Mother of Eddie Maguire, my girl, don't you see what following Collingwood has done to your sensibilities?
2. Burning all your Collingwood mementoes followed by hopping on a tram to Kardinia Park stadium to replenish said mementoes with those of a team more likely to win at the moment. Short-term relief followed by angst at size of credit card bill and loss of lifetime's footy collection.
Let's pretend you didn't write that one, hmm?
*left eye twitches*
I may be been overenthusiastic there. What about Port Adelaide then?
3. Switch to Rugby League. Somewhat heretical. Will lead to excommunication by family and friends, which will save heaps on the cost of presents at Christmastime.
I fear that any attempts to leave the cult- I mean, to switch codes, may result in my person being found deceased in a muddy Paddock, all orifices bleeding black and white feathers.
So your Magpie Connection is genetic, then?
4. Pour oneself a glass of whatever does one good, or, whatever is at hand. Sit down on comfy chair. Relax. Let your mind roam free until it rests upon the delightful vista of the AFL draft. The rules which ensure that them as come last will yea verily come first real soon now. Consider fate of evil team that had the temerity to overcome your valiant lads. Ignore fact that team coming second gets bugger-all draft picks of merit.
I've avoided understanding the draft processes for years now, I figure it's best for my aging, flailing intelligence to continue to remain in blissful ignorance.
No, really. I insist.
As I understand it the whole system is designed to discriminate against any club that has black and white in its colours.
5. Stand for Board of Directors of your favourite football club. Use all your wiles and skills to get elected, backed up by threats to reconfigure heavy traffic routes to pass opponents front doors. Enjoy the fruits of your labours and demand better looking players and tighter shorts. Dismiss coaches at your whim. Take the long view of on-field success whilst dallying with the latest crop of draftees.
I feel this idea is your best. Being situated in my current office I have unparalleled access to all sorts of interesting infrastructure, both existing and planned.
And as a lady who appreciates a fine bicep I feel my current appetites well satiated by the standard uniform, however the current trend for tops that are as tight as a nun's are a step in the right direction that should be more fully explored. By me. As a director with a real hands-on style of administration.
Just remember that Footy players bruise easily, please. And...don't be greedy, only take what you can use. Recycle your empties.
6. Move to Scotland. No coverage, no news, no pain. Just a lingering memory of yesteryear.
But aren't there like, Scottish persons there?
No AFL? Ever?
*ponders*
Ever ever?
...
The mind boggles at such a notion... Life without the joys of being a two-eyed Magpies supporter? But...
*ponders*
There are Scots in Scotland and I admit they are a flaw in my argument. However, they are a small price to pay for having the crushing weight of dashed footy success expectations lifted from your soul.
After a thorough review, I feel your best option is Option 5. above. I look forward to reading of your prowess in New Idea
