Hard to watch

So we all know that the club released a documentary about the Champions League run and win. You’d think I’d be all over it but I gotta tell you… those things are hard to watch for me. The one and only reason is because of the intensity of my emotions during that whole time and the whole season.

I can literally feel the pain on my leg from the tattoo I got shortly after they won… those things are literally engraved in me but that doesn’t come nowhere near what they feel every time they think about that run. That’s so powerful!!!!!

Just watching the little clip I saw was so triggering, in the best of ways, that I honestly don’t know how I’m going to get through the whole thing. Similar to the one about Beth and Viv which was also something that I had a bit of a hard time watching.

I do have to say that the clip I saw where Renee talks about suffering is interesting in that it pretty much goes against a lot of what I see/think/feel regarding success, happiness and art but alas football, as much as I compare to music and art, is a competition at the end of the day and as a fan, I need indeed my coach and team to do whatever they have to do and go through whatever they need to overcome, in order to become winners and make unforgettable memories.

I wonder what you all think about it… documentaries like these tend to reveal many things as far as people, processes and such while also allowing us to check our own assumptions and expectations.

Lastly and randomly, can we just talk about how good Steph Catley has been for us since she joined our club. Like WTF?? She’s been such a solid player day in and day out and she’s gonna go down as one of the most important players for our club, ever and also for Australia, no doubt in my mind.

Random but accurate.
