Having supported the Hawthorn Hawks for some eight seasons now, today I tasted what many footy fans never experience in a lifetime - their team winning a premiership.
There I was, sitting in front of the telly, wearing my trusty brown and yellow beanie and shouting like a bastard at the screen. (Morty, I can only imagine how hard you celebrated.)
A great sporting result certainly helps in the ol' recovery/healing process.
And I've had heaps to bolster my strength in the last few weeks - the All Blacks picking up the Tri-Nations and Bledisloe Cup, the Warriors smacking all before them in the NRL finals*, and the Wellington NPC side claiming the Ranfurly Shield as well as heading the championship table.
But none of those quite as sweet as today's 'flag'.

* Um, I spoke to soon. The Warriors got shafted by Manly on Saturday night. Arse.
