The best thing about footy season in Australia is that as soon as it finishes, the cricket comes on. Dedicated to Rolly "The Baron" Mather.

Lyrics:

You tell me I spend too much time
Staring at my plasma screen
You tell me I'm wasting my life
But babe you gotta know I'm just supporting my team

You say I've got no time for you baby
I'm thoughtless, boring, insincere
You say that my whole life's just about the footy
But baby, that's just six months of the year

So quickly, while the ads are on, I know that you're upset
Before you roll your eyes and start to sigh
When summer comes I swear you'll mean the world to me again
And this is what I'm willing to supply:

I'll give a hundred and ten percent
And I'll come out fighting
To conquer this re-building stage we're in
I'll give a hundred and ten percent
And I'll never stop fighting
'Cause babe you know that I came here to win
And if we are still to be here in September
And get ourselves back over that white line
We've gotta pull our fingers out and win the one-percenters
And take it, baby, one week at a time.

You tell me I spend so much time
Making so much bloody noise
And you tell me I'm wasting my life
But babe you've got to know I'm just supporting my team

I know I'm not centimetre-perfect
A long way from your fairytale dream
But wait a sec before you go point the finger
Remember that there's no 'I' in team

Remember what the counsellor said when we saw him that time
About trying to make things fresh and fun and warm?
Let's have heritage round every second Sunday of the month
So you can wear your old school uniform

And give a hundred and ten percent
And we'll come out fighting
To conquer this re-building stage we're in
We'll give a hundred and ten percent
And we'll never stop fighting
'Cause babe you know that I came here to win
And if we are still to be here in September
And get ourselves back over that white line
We've gotta pull our fingers out and win the one-percenters
And take it, baby, one week at a time.
