My first round 1 footy game in 15 years!!!

Bloody excited.
Played pretty well in the internal trial Friday night. By well I mean I picked up about 9-10 possessions in a 2 x 20 minute half game. By well I also mean well enough to get picked in our B Grade
Bloody keen. The game is certainly different than I ever remember it. If I made some of those across kick passes not only would my coach have dragged me off, the old man would have been out there dragging me as well. Being playing on a half forward flank and boy its continuous running, defending in our zone defence and then when we win the ball getting forward.
Biggest challenge is mentally you don't get a rest these days, I remember standing in the forward pocked knowing the ball wasn't coming over my side of the ground for an eternity, these days between having to defend as a team and also our own team switching play your never really out of the game.
Absolutely loving it though and the guys we have are great to get around.
Not overly nervous, more excited but also anxious about letting the team down, I still carry far to much pride in performance for a 37 year old hack.
