Tuesday, March 18, 2014: Something new to talk about...

A new chapter, that's all they've asked for. It's got nothing to do with redemption or forgiveness, there is no amends to be made. Essendon just want something new to talk about.

This was the second year of the Essendon pre-season pantomime, replete with heroes and villains; characters submitting themselves to the judgement of the masses. Distorted, often beyond recognition, by the hazy lens of the various scribes assigned the task of disseminating facts when precious few are known. It's exhausting and obsessive work, you can spend days analysing the various prognostications without realising how futile it all is. Nothing has happened, something might, but nothing has.
