sidelined

We don’t mention politics much here but I found a a great quote in one of the discussions surrounding the death of ex-Labor minister, John Button.

Through the dark ages, which began in the late ’60s, serious Geelong supporters kept themselves buoyant with gloom, stoicism and solidarity. Before the 1989 grand final one of my sons wrote to me from New York counselling me against optimism: “Despair we can handle; it’s the hope which kills.”

The lot of many supporter no matter the code.
