It's been a long season... but here's Damien Hardwick!

It has indeed been a long time between drinks folks, but unfortunately the Gods of media have been unkind and have showered meIt has indeed been a long time between drinks folks, but unfortunately the Gods of media have been unkind and have showered me work. I've travelled to the far corners of the globe and written about things that I'd never thought anyone would have bothered wanting to know about.

All I can say is that my footy tipping season has been mixed - from the Bombers stunning the Hawks early in the year, to a disappointing loss to the Magpies at Pampers Stadium (or Etihad, whatever that stadium is called). Now they have a shot at the finals, again up against the Hawks who are also up for a spot. Saturday's game will be a cracker.

One note I do want to share - has anyone else noticed that there are now four ex Bombers players as coaches? What next? Hirdy at Port? O'Donnell at Melbourne?
