Greatness. Live!

Here in Edinburgh, It’s 10am and I’ve already started the day by watching the Brisbane Lions win their third consecutive premiership. Again. Of course, I watched in awe. The game was incredible. One of the best I’ve ever watched. Yet, it remains hard to feel like my reaction watching it lived up to the spectacle unfolding. How could it?

When you’re caught up in the moment-to-moment action, putting the game on a historical pedestal is an afterthought. Once greatness becomes routine, you can become complacent to the feeling. Imagine the pandemonium that would ensue had Fremantle won—their first ever! For the champs, winning is the expectation. Your eyes adjust to just how incredible the team is.

Nevertheless, what a win. What a team. A surreal way to start a day in the UK.
