What a long summer it has been without footy. It seems an eternity since the gladiators of Sleepy Hollow and Moorabbin gave us that unforgettable arm wrestle last September.

The non-stop drenching of cricket, and the circus that accompanies it, has worn thin. A large portion of the country is breathing a massive sigh, indicating that AFL is well and truly back.

Oh yes, it’s an exciting time sports fans.

Supercoach and Dreamteam nerds are working double overtime, while the shattered fans of last year are buying new team merchandise to replace the gear that was incinerated following the 2009 debacle.

The final siren of the NAB Cup is like an angel singing to footy fans. Round one is around the corner. Guernseys can once again be worn to work.

The uncomfortable six month silence at smoko is washed away by constructive “footy talk”.

The wife goes from happy to not so happy, as she prepares to ask you “is the footy on tonight”, every Friday for the next six months.

Pure bliss, I tell you.

By now we are completely over the fancy salad diet we’ve been trying. It’s such a relief to welcome back the pies and beer.

It’s been too long. Up there Cazaly!
