19. Mild Monday

After the second phone call I turned my phone off. Jeremy had phoned me and proceeded to pass the phone around the group, everyone getting to say a word or two to Jeremy's mum. One high profile player telling me enthusiastically, "I love your son! He's my new main man." And although it was nice to be included in their "Mad Monday" antics it was a difficult conversation to sustain.

John and I went to a local pub to watch the last game on pay TV. The last game of the season saw them defeated by the team I think will win the flag this year. Every pass of the ball was contested. The other team was just too good for them. Jeremy kicked a great goal from about 60 metres out, and another snap went through for a behind. His stats were quite good considering how well the other team played.

Jeremy has been offered a two year contract and he is thrilled to stay on and play for this team. We are happy too and look forward to more interstate trips next year. Hopefully we will get to see him play in our home state.

Tonight he arrives home and will stay for a little while until his pre-season training demands his return. It will be nice to have him around again.
